4 weeks post op and i've only lost 12lbs



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery April 14th - my weight was 251 that morning and as of this morning it's only 239

I haven't cheated at all and I've been logging my food religiously. I feel I had a easier time losing weight before the surgery!!

OK - I know i'm just freaking out -Talk me down.

April 14th was three weeks ago, and you probably have had the infamous stall, so ... you've lost nearly a stone in two weeks. Way to go you! Onwards and downwards!

I miscounted - you're right it was 3 weeks. Thanks for the encouragement. YOU look fab, by the way.

I agree, I think you've lost weight and your body has cheerfully decided this is quite enough and is giving you a royal 3 week stall. Just stay positive and stay on plan. It will pass, although it may a take a few weeks. Also measure yourself - you may be losing inches, just not pounds.

At 3 weeks I had lost like 10...now I'm 6 weeks and have lost 24 (since surgery date). I started at a high weight too,

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
