Your body is still swollen and holding on to whatever it can. You probably are still retaining Water as well. Drink your water, eat your Protein and relax. Think of it this way. Have you ever lost 8 lbs in 13 days before? It will come off. It's hard to be patient. Thus my name, slowtogo...lol!!!

Hang in there... you are only 13 days out. The weight is not all going to come off in a week. Its going to take months of hard work, eating right and following doctor's orders. You have to work with the surgery. You body is still adjusting to the surgery, believe me the pounds will come off, some people lose quicker than others.

I was thinking the same thing I had surgery 10/3 lost only 11 pounds but I have found it hard to get the Protein in, so my goal today is to get it in no matter what. I feel really good.

I've been stuck on the same weight for two weeks. I am 3 weeks out tomorrow. Week one I lost 12 lbs, but nothing since then. I am walking and watching what I eat, drink only Water. Idk... I have a check up tomorrow. Hopefully they will shed some light on this.

Are you getting enough calories in if not your body is in starvation mode so your body will hold onto what ever you take in and slows you metabolism down.and not break down fat.

Just Becuse you don't see the weight change on the scale your body is changing you just don't see it yet Becuse you stair at it every day looking for change.

You will see the change when you go close shopping.

Hang it there it will come off

      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.
