5 weeks post op and no weight loss



Recommended Posts

The only weight I've lost is the weight for my pre op diet (almost 20 lbs). I haven't lost any weight since surgery. I also can basically eat anything I want (I don't, but haven't had anything throwing up, nothing getting stuck. I'm also walking at least 10,000 steps a day (usually hit 15,000) I don't understand why I'm

Not losing. First fill isn't for another 2 weeks.

Advice on losing? Diet is still a couple

Protein shakes and small Protein meal. Do you lost more after fills?

Wake up- walk 2-3 miles- Protein shake (pre made same ones I used pre op), I am on feet all day for work- shake for lunch, hard boiled eggs (example) for snack, small Protein dinner. Bed around 11pm. No snacking. Probably 1000 calories a day. Maybe my portion sizes are too big because I'm not having any side effects and can still eat larger portions.

Are you measuring your food? My meals are no more then a half cup. I'm also only getting around 700 calories a day.

You seem to be doing well... With exercise and healthy food choices. Congratulations!

So I say Trust the Process.

It does work for many!

Gotta have some faith that this was a huge step in reclaiming your life!

Just keep being the great healthy version of your life and good things are coming your way

The fills will truly help on hunger and portion size if the doc manages them right.

Keep posting and let us know how you and your band are doing.

Are your shakes approx 100 calories? Does that mean your dinner is approx 800 calories? Maybe that is too much at the end of the day ; I have the sleeve and not the band - so maybe some differences ..... just wondering -are you tracking using an app like MFP or estimating

The shakes are 100 cal each. Snacks probably 200 cal in dinner around 3 to 400 calories. I guess I will see how I do after my first Fill. I just thought I would be down a lot more by now. I appreciate the replies and positiveness!

      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.
