Weight stall

[misslady102 2]

I am 3 weeks post-op and this week I have been getting more food in. I know I get all my Protein, Vitamins and most of my liquids in.

Would did cause your weight to stall? 2 weeks out I lost 23 pounds. This week nothing

[Elode 8,093]

That's the 3 week stall, it's notorious and you should probably just keep off that scale for a couple weeks to not drive yourself nuts!

[misslady102 2]

OMG, Elode thank you. I thought I was doing something wrong while actually following the list. Protein first, getting liquids, and finally found Vitamins that didn't make me vomit.

Missylady what Vitamins did you find? I keep vomiting up every brand I try. I am also starting my third week post-op.

Glad to hear this. I'm at the stall as well, ANDI was given a steroid shot for bronchitis. I don't expect to lose any thing this week, but I'm still religious about the post op diet...

[Cognorati001 23]

I've lost exactly one pound as well.

I'm getting frustrated but then again I'm going to check my inches . Hopefully the weight starts moving on scale again lol

Centrum have a chewable Vitamin that is working for me. Tgat aee very small and was on my list. Citracal have a Gummy one.

I've taken the Centrum and like them a lot but they don't have Iron. What r you doing for iron?

Brace yourself because this is just the first of many The stalls come and go. Just do what @@Elode said and stay off of the scale! If you stay on track and follow your plan, the scale WILL move. Best of luck to you!

I am in my 3rd week also....and yup, I stalled! It's also my time of the month, so I doubt that's helping much either....nothing to do but follow doctor's orders and hope this stall ends soon!

I'm at a stall too at 3 weeks out SMH but I'm going to try to stay off the scale it's truly driving me crazy

Hi choosehope, I see you asked what Iron are you using? My nurse from post op recommended to take slow FE iron,..

It's time release that said it's easy to digest. I just make sure I take a few hours after I take my evening Vitamins, Calcium,

Because I heard with calcium so especially it will make the tummy upset.

Emily9654,

Thanks! I've used that before and handled it okay. I wonder if bypass patients can use it since it is time release. Anyone know?
