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.

      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.
