I had my surgery 6/5 (6 weeks ago) I lost 16 pounds on pre op diet. I have lost 17.8 since surgery and I am STUCK at 220. scale has been fluctuating between 220.8 and 220 for last 10 days. I am getting 64 oz of fluids and 70 grams of Protein daily mostly from Protein Shakes, Greek yogurt, Beans, tuna, string cheese and just added chicken. Trying to keep carbs under 60g. In the last 2 weeks I am getting about 600 calories a day. I am feeling very discouraged and seeking advice to help get the scale moving. Help!!!

Try increasing your calories for a day or two. I did it after being stalked for 2 1/2 weeks. My Dr did tell me to expect to have periods of wt loss followed by no weight loss and after you break the stall you start to lose again. Keep the faith!

Hang in there, it seems like you're doing everything right. Your body is just taking a time out to get used to this new way of living. I've learned that if I stick to what was working, it will start working again.

Thank you the suggestion and encouragement! I will keep doing what I'm doing and try increasing my calories for a couple days! :-)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
