8weeks post op and stuck



Recommended Posts

I'm now 8 weeks post op and after a brilliant start my weight has stayed the same for a week. I've list 55lb now but it's just stopped coming off. I'm so upset and wondered has anyone else had this problem and how do I kick start it again. Thanks

I am right there with you. I am 8 weeks post op and only down 35 pounds. I have went back to full liquids mixed with some Protein (meat) hoping that will kick in. I also have to kick up my cardio.

I'm trying to remember when I've ever lost 55 lbs in 8 wks. and if I did (and I didn't) what a success I would consider myself. You're doing great. Don't freak out. Just follow the program. Congratulations, too!

Yes about 8 weeks is when I had my first stall, do worry your body is freaking out cause you have lost so much so fast just keep doing what your doing and it will start coming off again

I stalled after 2 weeks! My surgery was 4/16. I lost approximately 16 pounds but most of that was post diet. I have to force myself to eat; I have no appetite. I probably average 500 calories a day, but I am getting in my Protein. My doctor said that is just not enough calories. I'm going back to two Protein drinks between my 'mushie' meals. Is anyone else having a hard time getting in 1000 calories/day?

Very discouraged right now.

Hi All, stalls are very common. Its only been a week. I've had stalls that lasted 2 weeks. Just keep up what you are doing, it'll start up again. Best of luck

So glad to see other people experience the stall. My surgery was 3/14 and I've lost 40lbs. But the last two weeks the scale hasn't moved--up or down. I do feel like I'm losing inches so I'm trying not FREAK out. I am never hungry and don't regret a thing. I'm just ready for this journey to move forward a couple of steps. :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
