I started out my journey in January weighing 287. The day before my surgery I weighed 268. I am exactly one month post op and I weigh 249. I've not even lost 20lbs and I haven't lost a pound in almost a week. Anyone else had a stall in weight loss at one month post op and what did you do to jump start it back?

Any suggestions would be helpful.

I was in a stall for almost 2 months, it started 3 weeks after surgery. I changed up my diet and work out routine. I started to eat more calories and carbs and decreased my time at the gym but I'm slowly increasing that back up.

I hit a stall for a week (week 3 post), lost a couple of pounds and it looks like I have hit another stall. Today I am 5 weeks 1 day out....

I am 6 weeks post op today and i have been stalled for about 2 and a half weeks. I adjusted my Protein and decreased my carbs and i finally have broke my stall. Its sad to me that i still have to "diet" hard core with carb intake but this is just how my body is. I cannot eat carbs in a normal quantitiy because I will gain weight. I just got to roll with the punches. Good Luck :)

Tomorrow I will be post op 2 weeks out (I was sleeved on May 29th). I'm on purée foods and average about 500 calories a day. I'm working on increasing my Water intake (I've been averaging about 40 oz. a day- I know I need 64 oz.) While I was on the clear liquid diet the first 5 days, I dropped 10 pounds. But, since then for about a week I've lost nothing. I go for walks but didn't want to push my activity too much since I'm healing. Am I doing something wrong?

      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.
