Recommended Posts

2 months post op and I hit a week with no weight loss. Is that normal?

It is abnormal if you don't hit an occasional stall - the third week is a typical time for such things and then more randomly thereafter. I am one of the abnormal ones who only had one week during my entire loss period when I didn't show a loss; even a bit of gain here and there would not be abnormal - there are lots of things that can cause a bit of temporary Water retention - hormones, variations in dietary sodium, medication changes, changes in diet or exercise/activity routines, phases of the moon (jk)....

It is VERY normal. You will reach a point when you slow down, and it will freak you out. But, you are going to keep losing, just much more slowly than what you've been doing. Keep doing all the healthy things you know you should, and keep that exercise steady and constant. You are still on the right path.

OMG, so normal, and oh so frustrating. Remain focused and you will see results, but don't be surprised that this is your first of many stalls.

Good luck

Thanks for the encouragement. So hard to see the scale slow when you've been seeing a loss of .5lb to 1 LB a day. :)

Very normal. I hit goal by a year and had many very long frustrating stalls. I freaked each and every time for nothing. I had two six week stalls, but lost inches during this time. You'll get there. Relax and enjoy your new life.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
