I'm 3 weeks post op, lost 10 pounds the first 2 weeks but the scale hasn't moved in a week! Sad! Beginning to wonder if I'm foist to fail at this, if this is going to work for me, has anyone else gone through this?

I just posted the same thing a few days ago! I had surfery 2/18 and lost 12 lbs the first 10 days and not a pound since. I started eating soft foods that day too! Frustrating

Have you gotten past it and if so how? I'm so frustrated I know I shouldn't be and that stalls are normal but it's hard not to get discouraged!

No! I will be three weeks tomorrow... I saw my surgeon on Friday before my two weeks. He advanced me to soft foods. Whamo! My weight loss stopped! I can't seem to make it start again. I watch carbs and eat lean Protein. At a loss too, but I am taking comfort in it will pass

Keep doing what you are doing. I am just shy of 4 weeks post op. just before I hit 3 weeks I stayed the same for like 5 days (after 3 weeks). The past couple of days I have lost 5 pounds. Stalls happen. Just stay consistent and it will start to come off again. Also, try increasing your Protein.< /p>

I was sleeved on 02/11/13 and had my first post op visit the very next Monday after that. Since then, I have gained 6 pounds. I was going to the gym and walking the treadmill for 30 minutes and walking up and down 5 flights of stairs 5 days a week. I was also doing exercises at home. I decided to test a theory out. I think that I was working out too much and not eating enough calories to balance it out, but how can we at this point. So, I stopped working out. My last regular work out was last Wednesday morning, which I only did 15 minutes on the treadmill. I haven't worked out since and am now down 4 pounds. So, I proved a point to myself, but as much as I want to just scrap the exercising to keep losing weight, I can't. I will go back to walking the treadmill for 30 minutes 3 times a week and see how things work out.

Muscle weighs more than fat. I am of the overall opinion of size is more important than weight. Ive been 200 lbs before and wore a size 10. I was very much in shape back then. So don't be to discouraged.

I had surgery the exact same date and have lost the exact same amount. I started soft food on day 12 and gained 2lbs of the 12 I'd lost... Been sitting at the same weight for 8 days... Are you 50 also? That would be too wild! I've lost a total of 14 lbs from pre-op til now

With all do respect, a pound of muscle and a pound of fat are still a pound. However, muscle is more dense than fat which is why ladies, it is important to take measurements! Even when I went thru a stall (sleeved 1/15) I was still losing inches! I only weigh at dr appt now because I don't want to get discouraged. Just keep doing what you are doing, getting in Proteins, Water, Vitamins, exercise and trust the process. :)

      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.
