Early Post Op Stall

[mg22fpb 6]

I am 2 1/2 weeks out of gastric bypass, been doing everything by the book as far as eating, drinking and increasing my exercise. I am so frustrated because I have not lost a pound in over 8 days. I lost 15 the first week plus the 10 I gained at the hospital with fluids and now nothing. I can't understand why living on 800 calories or less along with exercise is not producing any weight loss. Anybody have any tips?

I have increased my exercise, I am starting some mild strength training (yesterday), I have tried to eat some "normal" food and not just liquids as allowed, I am walking 8000-10000 steps a day and increasing my speed. I have just begun to add green tea today to speed up my metabolism. I seems impossible not to loose weight. Looking for some answers and hope.

Relax, recover, keep doing what you're doing and the weight will go. Stay away from the scale. :-)

I have not had surgery yet but it seems to me you've had amazing weight loss so far. Congrats! I don't know that this a stall- perhaps just appreciate that your body needs time to adapt and heal. You will continue to lose. Just look at the incredible steps you've already taken to ensure that you're successful.

Keep up the good work! We all hit a stall at different times. Make sure you are getting in all your Protein, Water, Vitamins and enough calories and it will move. Your body is adjusting and once it is sure you aren't starving it, the weight will begin to move. My stalls always occur when I am not getting enough rest, protein or water.

Hand in there! You are doing the right things!

Same here ! It's frustrating but we didn't gain in one day so we won't lose in one day keep your chin up !!

That doesn't sound like enough calories to support such heavy exercise.
