No weight loss since I got my period...



Recommended Posts

Hi all just wondering about this I had surgery on 12.12 and felt like I was doing well. But I got my period and the scale hasn't moved! I'm really frustrated by this. I have a call into my doctor's office, but I'm wondering what you all think. Has this happened to anyone? Could I be doing something wrong?

Looking forward to hearing what you all think.

Thanks,

April

During my TOM, I either don't lose or even gain a lb or two. It comes off right after. It's normal to retain a little. It's ok. Don't let it discourage you, just keep doing what you're supposed to do.

At about 3 weeks or so your body kind of goes into shock and it needs time to catch up. The initial loss of pre and post op usually stops or slows significantly for a bit. Give it w few weeks... it usually comes back with a vengeance! Just part of the process.

Im almost 120 days out, and down 66lbs. Since surgery. Im not the fastest loser, and haven't been able to exercise much due to some injury issues. However, I have plateaued a few times. It is VERY frustrating, but I start losing again every time. I still weigh myself daily, but I know that Im on the right track.

Trust me, the scale will start marching down again for you, just give it time. Your body has to catch up to that loss :)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
