One month post op... Wait loss stall



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I am one month post op and have gone from 266lbs to 245lbs. Just transitioned to soft food 8 days ago and am at a complete stall. Only consuming 600 calories per day and getting almost all of my Water in. Trying not to get frustrated as I have another 110 lbs to lose... Is this normal?

My weight loss has slowed. I find this weird as I'm waaay more active than I was. I eat incredibly small portions compared to what I was.. I'm a month out & I can eat pretty much all foods-I've done steak etc.. I'm just going with the flow. I feel better & my clothes are a lot bigger.. I've lost quite a bit in regards to sizes.

You have to remember- the average weight loss is 1-3 pounds a week. Since you lost so much weight in such a short amount of time, your body needs time to catch up.

And I just realized I said wait loss instead of weight loss.... Perhaps a subconscious slip!!! Lol

my doctor has me between 600 and 800 for now. He will likely increase it when I got for my next visit next week, I think you're right though.

Thank you all for the support... I changed my habits and switched back to my old Protein powder with very few carbs and no sugar so I'm getting all of my Protein in with fewer carbs and the scale noticed! Immediately dropped 4 lbs :) yay! Back on track

      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.
