Stall at 6 weeks Post Op ?

[Thood 3]

I am 6 weeks Post Op and have already hit a stall : (

I started at 196 with a goal weight of 125 so that gave me 71 lbs to lose. I am down 23 lbs but the scale hasn't moved in a full week. I was really expecting much faster results ~ hoping to reach my goal weight by July. With 52 pounds still to go and things moving so slowly I am wondering if this will be possible. 52 pounds is a long way to go in 4 months! Any suggestions?

Oops ~ bad math skills!! I have 48 pounds to go : (

Still a long way to go in four months at the rate I am going!!!

I was 229 at my 3 week checkup (down 21 pounds) and I'm still not out of the 220s at 6 weeks out. I'm a band to sleeve revisions and I know I'm not getting enough Protein so I'm pretty sure that's my problem. I've started making better effort at my Protein intake and started running so maybe that'll kick start my loss... I go for my next appointment next week and I'm hoping to be officially down 35 pounds (5 pounds per week)...that'll put me at 215. I guess I'll have to see! I know I need to force feed myself at least one Protein shake a day, but can't seem to at the moment since my liquid phase ended...

I think you are doing great, especially at such a low start weight. Good luck with your goals!

i too hit a 2 week stall (i am also 6 weeks post op) i upped my Protein to 80 grams and my calories to 800 and over night i lost 4 lbs and have been losing every day. Day of surgery i was 203, i am currently 179. my goal is to be 115-125 depending on what i look like when i reach those numbers. I too was hoping to reach goal this summer and thought i would lose it faster but i am not complaining 1 bit.

I am right there with you. I have lost 20 pounds and I am at 158. I want to be 120-125. I don't have a definite date for that, it is just my goal. I am 6 weeks out

Greetings all! I am brand new to this world of ByPass , was just told by my primary doc -- only way for me to

get rid of my Type 2 Diab, HBP, and other assorted things is to do this.

First I want to congratulate all of you for doing this surgery, i hope you all feel in long run worth it,

I am going to my first seminar 6/12 with my surgeon..i have hundreds of questions

Good Luck to you all
