It is essential you get your liquids and Protein in for both healing and weightloss. I'd back off on the exercise until you can get more protein to support it. Check with your surgeons office for direction on not getting sick. Eating slowly and having tiny bites has worked for me.

Keep trying with liquids and Protein...body is probably in starvation mode and holding on to everything it gets...body needs to feel like it can let go...or you are in a stall...keep up the fight

I agree i think that's why i am not losing weight my body is in starvation. I have an appointment on Thursday to see what will help me eat more.

3 weeks post op and I've had a stall for about 10 or so days now. I just increased my Protein for 3 days now and still in a stall.

How long has some of you noticed the weight starts coming back off again once you get back to recommended Protein amounts? (My NUT said I was in starvation mode so been working hard to get the 70-80g everyday now)

@reeeee1978 I was sleeved a day after u, 10/18/16 and have lost 31 pound and has been stalled 3 different times since then. I believe I eat more and can tolerate almost every kind of food, but I do exercise a lot. I love to work out and that is the only thing that keep me going

@@Gucci believe it a head hunger, I'm 10 weeks out and that happen to me around the same time. Just keep drinking your protain shakes when u feel that way. Bc if u decide to eat what is out of your diet!, u will be stalled for a long. (My experience)

      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.
