I am 7 weeks post-op, have all of a sudden been doing well with tolerating foods, therefore have increased my variety. Still eating very little, but not losing...what's going on?

Let me clarify, no loss this week.

Entirely normal I think. Keep trying to get in 4 oz of Protein from something that had a mother three times a day. Drink at least 64 oz of Water a day and try walking 60 minutes a day even if you have to spread the walking into 20 minute segments three times a day. Eventually your body will adjust and you will start losing again.

I am 8 weeks out and I still can't have dairy so no yogurt, sugar free pudding, limited cheese, and other dairy products like sour cream, cream, milk, etc.

Try not to snack between meals. Take your meals at a regular schedule about 4-5 hours apart.

I am eating 1/2 C cooked or raw vegetables at one meal and 1/2 C berries or other fruit (no bananas) at one other meal.

@@Yrkybarry just had first visit with doctor post-op on Tuesday and he said try to eat only two meals and if I am hungry (not thirsty - drink first to see if you are truly hungry) I could eat fruit or vegetables as much as I wanted. I finished the rest of my day doing that and yesterday and the scale moved today. I rounded up, my scale can reflect 239.5, so tomorrow if I weigh 239 I will officially be in the 230s!!!!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
