Vramos721 1 Posted April 25, 2013 Hi everyone, another question: I'm 3 weeks out and since leaving the hospital I was consistently losing 1lb per day, but 5 days ago I actually went up 1lb and haven't lost anything since! Feeling a little discouraged : ( anyone else experience anything like this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoccerMomma73 1,867 Posted April 25, 2013 Relax and breathe, everyone goes through it....also, get used to it, cuz it's gonna keep happening from time to time! I swear I think it's your body catching up with what you've done to it! Keep up the good work and it'll happen again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alc1071 43 Posted April 26, 2013 Yes! I stalled at about two weeks post op and it lasted about a week. Just stick to your plan and the scale will start moving again soon. I think it's your body catching up with all the changes. Many people post about this and about 2-3 weeks post op seems to be very common. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

khaw 10 Posted May 7, 2013 My surgery was 6 weeks ago. I lost 18 the first two weeks. Then about 2 in 4 weeks. Ive been going up and down those 2 lbs that whole 4 week time span. I pretty much feel like I'm never going to lose. How is it possible to have this surgery and not lose. The last thing I want is to have this fail on me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nurse Jen 45 Posted May 7, 2013 What's a typical day of eating like for you? Now or then? Now I mostly feel like its snacking really. Eating about every 2-3 hours. Protein first I usually have cheese, chicken, nuts or a progestin bar. About 1/2 cup per meal. Solid Proteins keep your belly full longer so I try to stick to those. I feel like I am always eating but I still don't have hunger so I have to keep a schedule so I don't lose precious time to pack in Protein.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've never heard of a progestin bar. I take it it's a Protein Bar? I'm looking for a good low fat low sugar Protein Bar I can start using. I'm a dental hygienist. I need to be able to have Protein Snacks that don't have to stay cold that I can have between patients. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use Premier Protein...30 G protein, 8 g sugar. I buy them at Sam's Club. Turkey Jerky is good too, of course right after surgery you can't have that. 1 khaw reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
