Stopped losing weight

[Vramos721 1]

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?

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.

My surgery was February 19 and I feel that I am loosing very slow 223 now 182...

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.

I wish I could lose 40lbs in 2-3 months don't be so hard on yourself the weight is coming off and from the outside looking in that seems like a pretty fast Weightloss good luck

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

I didn't lose a single pound for one full month after surgery, then it started dropping off consistently. I am 7 months post op and have lost 117.8 lbs.

What's a typical day of eating like for you?

I had a 2 week stall. I had to start working out more to lose. I'm still only losing about 2-3 pounds a week.

I'd absolutely love to lose 2-3 lbs a week! I think that is the perfect rate!

It only happened after I started the elliptical.

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>

Yep I meant now! 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.

Yes Protein....Dang phone! 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.
