Just curious what others are experiencing. I and 4 wks po and lost 20lb in the first two weeks. The last two I have only lost 2lbs. Is this normal? I am introducing new foods but sticking to Protein, fish, cottage cheese, cheese, Protein drinks and a few veggies.

I lost 17 pounds the first two weeks. I have lost 1 pound in the last 2 weeks. Kinda discouraging

Sounds like we are in the same situation. Hope it picks up soon for both of us!

Question for you ... Are you guys ever hungry? I don't get hungry I only get nauseous when I don't eat for a while. I need to do better with keeping up with eating.

I'm hungry all the time. Even after i eat I'll be hungry 1-2 hrs after. All I eat is Protein so not sure what the problem is...

Do you take an acid reducer? If you drink Water at that time - does the "hunger" go away? If this continues - talk to your surgeon.

No I am not hungry at all. If I wait to eat I do get queasy.

My doc said I only needed to take it for the first 4 weeks (I'm at about 5 weeks now). It was making me a little Nauseous so I couldn't wait to stop it. If I drink Water it does calm the hunger down for a few minutes but as soon as I stop drinking I feel my tummy asking for something to digest.

I was starting to think this is the new norm? I only eat about 400-500 cals a day because even though I am eating every 2-3 hours I'm eating like 1 or 2 ounces of something.

My whole day is spent eating or drinking something. It's quite inconvenient especially if I'm out and about.

@@LA_lady It sounds like it could be acid rather than hunger. Maybe a different acid reducer would be better. Are you still drinking Protein Shakes? My plan has me eating every 3 hours - but for the first 6 weeks I'm supposed to keep drinking 3 Protein shakes too. How you feel should not be the new norm!

I weighed in yesterday at my one month anniversary. I'm down a total of 24.6 lbs which includes 4 lbs lost on my pre op diet. First two weeks or so I lost a little more than a pound a day. I'm at a good rate of 2-3 lbs/week right now, and so happy with that rate. I'm exercising (ran/walked 4 miles this morning-- I could walk 10-12 miles before surgery but could not jog to the end of the street, so this is big!). I have acid almost daily and am taking Prilosec. When I've lost 30 lbs my primary doctor will see if I can get off my BP meds. Lab work shows I'm

not insulin resistant anymore.

I'm grateful beyond my ability to express for this surgery and for this forum.

Plus-- we have a German exchange student who is living with us this year, he arrived earlier this week and is super athletic. He hugged me at the airport and said "you don't look much like your photo from June. I was expecting someone rounder. You are really quite pretty in a mom way!"

This is the best thing I've ever done done for myself.

Same here! What was your BMI starting out? I've been told & read repeatedly that lower BMI's drop weight slower. Then you know there's the legendary 3 week stall that can last for weeks. Hang in there. I've stopped going on the scale bc I'd feel discouraged. I now only weigh once per week.
