Had my gastric bypass done February 28th. I've lost 25lbs so far. But this week I've only lost 1lb and I don't know why? I'm staying within the 600 calorie a day yet I'm not loosing anything. And this whole week I've been feeling hungry all the time! I know some of it could be related to head hunger but still, there's no reason why I shouldnt be loosing weight and feeling hungry this early on . I'm freaking out thinking that I have already screwed up and stretched out my pouch or something. Any advice would be great!! Thanks!

I had mine on the 20th of February and when I hit that amount lost I also hit a small plateau like you. Don't be discouraged. It's easy to forget the pounds won't melt off like they had been. I know I felt depressed the day I jumped on the scale and it didn't even look like I had lost anything. Give it a few days and you'll start seeing it come off again.

I had my surgery 01/11/12 and I have hit many plateaus and reminded the exact same weight for 2 weeks the dr explained that during those non loose weeks your body is loosing inches that is why it's so important to not just weigh yourself but to also measure your inches as well I measure my inches like once a month and the first month I had lost a total of 27 inches.

I have found that the weeks I have not lost weight it was sometimes because I did not get enough Protein in. I also have hit a few plateaus along the way. I know it can be discouraging but keep up with your Water and exercise along with eating right and before you know it the scale will show a loss.

Don't beat urself up...u are doing fine. I had the same thing happen to me n u will see the weight loss slow down a lot which only makes sense becuz u have about 12-18 months of weight loss after surgery...I have lost 90 pounds including my preop weight loss n I am 4 months out. And now I am glad that it is slowing down...u will be fine...everyone goes thru plateaus. :)

      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.
