I am 6 weeks out and stalled!



Recommended Posts

I had my 6 week follow up on Thursday. I did not lose any weight that week and only 1 pound this week. I have lost 34 pounds so far. I am sad.I have begun to exercise. I intake 60grams of Premier Protein and follow my diet plan. 1/2 cup 3xs/day. Will I continue to lose weight? My goal is to lose 100 pounds. HELP

I was 6 weeks this past Tuesday and I'm going through same thing. I posted yesterday and it seems like other 6-7 weekers are going through same. It is really frustrating. I've lost about 2 lbs in the past 2 weeks. Lost 35 total. I'm also following my plan of 80 G Protein. I get anywhere from 600-800 calories a day. I just don't know. Hang in there. I'm trying to!

Your body is adjusting to the next phase of eating. Of course we see big drops between surgery and those 1st 2 weeks post-op. At my 2 week appt I had lost 24lbs and I didn't have to do a liquid pre-op diet! But now we're adding purees, some of us are adding soft foods. It's more for the body to grab and hold onto. Also most of us aren't sore so eating is easier. Between my 2nd & 6th week I only lost 6lbs. I'm not upset because it's still a loss.

I recommend not becoming scale obsessed. It will make you CRAZY. Personally I don't go near a scale until I see the doctor.If you must weigh, limit it to once a week and try and make it the same time every week.

      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.

      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...

        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.
