It's ok and it's normal. Follow the plan and it will pick back up! Your body is still recovering for surgery.

you have just gone through a major organ surgery... just follow the diet plan your NUT & Doc put in place for you... everyone goes through some kind of stall or period of time without weight loss... your body just has to catch up... it will happen... just make sure you are getting in your Water & Protein every day and start walking. Good Luck!!!

Be patient - you're recovering from major surgery. Your body is trying to figure out what you've done to it...You've had surgery and you're eating/consuming close to nothing.

My suggestion is to weigh yourself once per week (more if you can stand it). The scale is not your friend right now. Take this time to heal and take care of yourself. Your body will react when it's ready - and that timeline may be different than what your mind wants it to be.

I totally understand your frustration! My first week out I lost 12lbs then nothing for 2 weeks then when I didn't expect it I lost 6lbs the 4th week, 4lbs the 5th week and 3lbs the 6th week, so the weight will come off! When I was dealing with my stall I assumed the surgery wasn't going to work for me but like everyone here suggesting, be patient! Good luck

      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.
