Recommended Posts

Well that just SUCKS! You would think being on straight liquids getting less than 400 calories a day' date=' one would lose weight![/quote']

Same happened to me. Now I'm 5 weeks out and can pretty much eat anything and I'm losing an average of 2 pounds a week.

Oh thank goodness it's not just me. I was sleeved last Tuesday 6/18 and haven't lost a thing. I can see changes in my body, however.

I will be 3 weeks out tomorrow and haven't lost anything in the past week. I have only lost 10 lbs total. I don't know what to do. I can barely get my Protein in and have a difficult time with food.

I stalled out in my second week too :( . I am 5 weeks out as of tomorrow and just started dropping weight again yesterday. For me, I must keep my carbs low, Protein and fluids high and exercise every day. Keep reading other threads and you will see that stalls in the 3 rd week are very common. It takes time to figure out how to get your nutritional needs all while healing from surgery. I had a very hard time getting protein requirements as I was not tolerating Protein shakes ver well.

Hang in there and try to stay calm. All is well.

I too put on weight while on the hospital. It came off over about a week. I hit the 3week stall too and actually gained weight on 500 calories a day. Once I started going to the bathroom halfway through that week it started coming off. I'm now down 34lbs since my pre op diet.

I was sleeved 6-17.....weight was 234.8 down to 222.4....3 days NO LOSS!! I'm hoping my soon to come cycle has something to do with it! I'm going crazy! I'm not getting enough Protein but I'm trying. H2O is not an issue. I'm getting the Water in!

      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.
