Sorry for the low Info title but theres no other way to put it.

My weight is just stuck! I came home from the hospital and lost 2-3 lbs a day for the first 7 days then on day 8-15 nothing, not a single pound!

I've heard of the week 3 stall but a stall at 1 week? Come on that not heard of or at least ibhavnt hear of it.

It's not like I'm a light weight either, I'm stuck at 392 lbs with a bmi of over 50 AND I'm a guy which means the weight should be falling off me, I just don't under stand.

Any one have any ideas on what's going on or what I can do to get the weight moving in the right direction again?

You're too soon out from surgery. Give it time. Focus on Protein and Water at this point. Nobody loses weight every single day. Losing weight is like walking down the stairs. Sometimes we walk down far and fast and other times we pause on certain steps and walk slower.

14-21 lbs in two weeks?! That is not stuck. Stay hydrated, walk, and focus on healing. Trust the process.

I think you miss understood rep, I've lost a total of 12lbs since surgery plus the couple lbs of Fluid from the iv but it was all with in the first 7 days, and absolutely nothing for the last 8 days, it seems way to soon for a stall, I've not heard of any one stalling at 7 days post op.

It's not as uncommon as you think. Especially if you had a pre-op liquid diet. Hang in there. I promise you, the weight will come off. You should be 100% focused on HEALING and making sure you are getting all your Protein, Water, and steps right now. STAY OFF THE SCALE!

I stall all the time. First started the 2nd week out and continues almost 6 months out. I know it's discouraging but try to skip a weeks weigh in if you can. Take measurements. You might notice a difference with that.

Stick with your program and the stall will break. Then you'll start losing like a champ again. Just keep making the right choices, every single time.....

      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.
