Gained in hospital 12lbs, lost the 12 in a few days now not losing at all



Recommended Posts

Ok, i gained in the hospital 12 lbs, that was scary enough, after the fifth day of surgery I lost the 12 lbs but i am still not losing any more. I am walking, taking Vitamins, drinking about 48oz a day and trying to stomach as much Protein as possible.

Any suggestions, I am walking between 1-2 miles a day. am i expecting to much....

First of all, congrats on getting the "surgery weight" off. :-) As for the other weight, I know how fast it goes depends on things like how much total you have to lose, activity, Fluid and Protein intake.

I was losing about a pound per day being very careful to get in at least 80g of Protein (thank you Isopure! lol) and about 48oz of Water. I know I am not walking anywhere near what you are as I have an injured foot. The last few days I have pushed my fluids to 64oz and I have consistently dropped 2 pounds everyday since then.

I know we are all different but maybe try uping your Fluid a bit? How much protein are you getting per day? I hear that's crucial for making the pounds come off.

Don't know if any of that helps you but I'll send best wishes and positive energy your way at any rate. Good luck! :)

In the beginning your body is in a major heal mode. Keep with the Protein, Fluid and Vitamin daily requirements. Be a little patient and let the magic happen.

I am three weeks post-op, I am also walking between 1-2 miles a day and lost the surgery wight plus another 16 lbs and now am not losing at all. I am getting around 60 g of Protein and most days getting at least 60 oz of Fluid in. Is this normal? I'm starting to get discouraged!

I think mine is from not drinking enough. I am pushing as much as I can tolerate. I'm getting light headed when drinking Protein. But not when drinking fluids.

I know my body has to get used to this.

First, congrats!!

There is a lady on another forum that lost 1 pound the first week or couple of weeks, something like that! Well, she is down to goal and just had plastics! So hang in there! :)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
