Struggling

[babs963 201]

I'm 16 days post op... Feeling great with the exception of being a bit tired mid afternoon. My problem is that by day 9 post op I lost 20 lbs an now I'm 16 day post op and still haven't lost any more I am eating 55-65 gms of Protein, 30z of water/liquid. I'm on the puréed diet now and I'm just feeling like well, this is it. I walk on the tread mill every morning 30 min at a good pace and varying inclines... I just want to loose a pound!!!!! This is how it was for me in the past when I would diet... Loose 15-20 and that was it... I'm scared.

Most everyone stalls 3-4 weeks post op for a week or so!! Have faith it will come off!! I can say that now as I felt the same way you are at same post op time! Now I am 4 1/2 months post op and down 80 pounds

Don't worry about the stall outs. It's your body's way of catching up with itself. Once it catches up, the weight melts off again. Just keep on your lifestyle change and to the regimen we are following for a lifetime.

As my dad says: you risked your first life for a chance at a second one...don't do anything to jeopardize that.

Thank you ladies... I know your right, I'm just nervous it won't actually happen... Ill stay focused. Thanks so much!!!

Don't worry, girlie!! I know that's so hard to hear, but I have journaled daily since my RNY on 10/5/12, and every single month I had a stall anywhere from 6-12 days. Including October!! It's good to look back on that and realize when that inner pessimist starts talking, I can ignore it because when we do what we should, that scale WILL MOVE EVENTUALLY!! good luck!! Congratulations on your success so far!!

I feel the same way. This thread has really made me feel better. I'm 3 weeks post op and am doing it all too. I think I too am just trying to cope with those old failure feelings. Faith and patients. It's what I got! One day at a time.

I did it with my band and apparently am doing the same now. The scale doesn't move for 8 or 9 days then I'll lose 3-4 in 2-3 days....it's crazy! Early on your body is in shock and thinks you're trying to kill it...I'm getting better but the first couple weeks I was freezing and moving like a slug...my metabolism had to have been absolutely nothing. At a month things appear to be getting back to a more normal situation. I get cold easier but I'm not freezing to death, my energy, while not at my normal level, is definitely on the mend. I don't feel like a slug any more (most days anyway!). Hang in there!!!!! We can do this!!!!

Lol! I've learned not to take the scales too seriously unless they head the wrong way several days in a row. Just too many variables. Still SO glad that stupid band is ZGONE!!!!
