Plateau already?!



Recommended Posts

Are you serious? I'm three week post-op and I gained 0.1 pounds and I know that's nothing but I got on the scale this morning and gained another pound. I shouldn't be getting weighed everyday but I'm terrified I'm stuck already. Help. What am I doing wrong? ???? is it the fact that I moved from liquid to purée and I haven't had food in so long until now? Ugh. Helpppppp I've lost 14 so far but I'm so scared. Everyone says it should still be falling off.

You'll get many inputs from people about stalls. They happen all the time. Don't worry, you'll be losing again in no time. But you should expect the stalls to happen and sometimes they last a few weeks. Just stay the course and all will be fine.

Everyone fluctuates from day to day because of Water or hell maybe you need to poop but can't yet. Do not check your weight every day, it will just lead to disappointment. Just eat what you're supposed to and do your best to stay active and the scale will go down. I know it'll kill you with anticipation but you need to only check once a week.

Stress doesn't help either, it will happen just follow your plan and take measurements don't relay just on the scale. Your body is still healing and adjusting, for some it seems to just fall of others may be a bit slower but at the end of the first year most all seem to be around the same percentage lost. :)

Three week stall? Search the forum it's all around here. Body is in shock and trying regroup. Did not loose a pound on 3rd week postop. Staying off the scale helps if you can. Easier said than done. I'm exactly where you are. I'm 14 down. You will break through! :-)

      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.
