Please help put my mind at rest if you can, I am 2 1/2 weeks post op...I initially lost 11 lbs, and since then nothing,,it has been 11 days and no wt loss...I mean, I expected a stall, but not after the first week....I am so depressed, I am logging every single think I eat, I just dont understand.....did this happen to anyone after just 1 week?

I think this is fairly common. I'm approaching week 3 and haven't lost anything since the beginning of week two. I read that it's common to not lose anything around this time but the weight loss picks up again at around week 4. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I'm having the same issues...lost 16 in about the first 10 days...and 1 lb since then...today is day 15...I know I'm not getting anywhere near the Protein I should be...but its soooo hard!!!

I have been the same since last week. I was thinking I was doing something wrong!

[vicki s 146]

OMG....ty, ty , ty.....It is soooo hard to hardly eat any where near what we used to eat, and not lose an ounce...so discouraging....so glad to hear im not alone and this is common...thanks for answering me and putting my mind at ease!! xxxxx

I'm 2 months out today. I stall ALL the time. I'm down 32lbs. It's fantastic but from what I use to eat, to now... It's a drastic difference. I thought the weight would fall off. The scale will stay the same for a couple weeks, then...boom 5 lbs will b gone. I've been told to meet your Protein & it'll help.

thanks you Irishkat...I am starting to get more Protein in now that i can eat pureed food...its been difficult to get it all in till now...

I stalled for 5. Days after week 1. Now I'm 4 weeks and thinking I might be getting into another one.

[vicki s 146]

I stalled after 10 days and haven't lost anything in 11days....

[beckyford 57]

For the last two days my stomach hurts every time I take a drink of something....I'm fine eating...tho it's only pureed stuff...it's the liquid that seems to make it hurt...I take a drink, it hurts for a minute and then stops...

[vicki s 146]

could you be swallowing to much at once...i thought stricture, but if food doent hurt, that doesnt make sense...

It is very common! Your body is in shock. Since you are eating so much less, your body thinks it is starving and therefore holds onto everything. It will level out and the weight will come off. Just keep getting your Protein and Water in, and exercise. It will happen!

No it happens even when I take small drinks...the weird thing is, Water is the worst...
