Terrified! Need Guidence!

[chaas101 0]

All I can do is cry with frustration. I'm 6 weeks post op and down 30lbs. My starting weight was 322. But for the last 3 weeks I haven't lost so much as a pound! I walk 2 miles almost everyday, I stay within the 600-800 calorie range. Why is this so hard? I have been able to eat solid food since week 3, I never experience dumping syndrome. May I have already stretched out my stomach? I feel like such a failure. For being 292 right now which is really heavy I should be dropping weight fast for only being 6 weeks post op! What am I doing wrong or what should I do? I'm able to eat 1 cup full of food before I feel full and that's way to much! So I had to of stretched my stomach or something. Please any help or guidence would be great!

I'm only down 24 pounds and I'm 3 weeks post op. I know it can be frustrated but it will happen for you. I am still on my stage one foods....everything nauseates me..so I still only eat Jello yogurt pudding and broth. You appear to be doing all the right things. Are you drinking 48-64 oz of Water a day? That's a big part of it too! You will be ok and before you know it the weight will melt off! Good luck with everything

Hello Chaas

Don't get discourage, some ppl lose wt differently and we all can hit plateaus so keep doing the right things cuz it seems that you are on the right track.

Keep us post it! Wow 3rd week and regular food I'm impress b/c this is my 2nd wk and he just put me on pure food and told me that I will be doing it for at least 4-6wks, and then probably star on my regular food unless something happens but who knows every doctor has its different regimen, good luck!
