2 week post op stall? ????



Recommended Posts

Hey guys, hoping someone can help me out here. I'm 2 weeks post op today. I have not had any complications, no pain, vomiting etc (I'm NOT complaining)! My recovery has been amazing until today when I got on the scale and only dropped 2lbs!! I lost 13 my first week but only 2 this week! I'm so frustrated! Now, I do feel better, have been working out harder than "allowed to" cuz I feel like I can but scale wise I'm upset. Has this happened to anyone else? Words of advice? Thanks guy!

My advice: work on getting in all your Protein and Water every day and stay off the scale.

By the way, "only" losing 2 pounds is not a stall. You will stall throughout the process. Our bodies do not lose weight at a constant rate.

The best thing to do is focus on your Protein and Fluid goals and trust the process and weigh very infrequently.

Thanks Babbs! Trying not to get frustrated. I just felt like I was doing everything right and when I weighed myself this am I was bummed. But I will trust the journey!

I did the same. Dropped a bunch then seemed to stall. When I asked about it, I was told your body gets sort of shocked, and hangs back a second. . Most people experience it, but then it picks up again third week out. I was sceptical but, was true.. so hang tight, your body will catch up, trust the process :D

Thanks Livincrimson! It's good to know other people that have experienced it.

      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.
