Weight loss stopped after a couple of days!



Recommended Posts

I had my bypass surgery on April 11th, and lost about 18 lbs in one week. However, since then, the weight is the same and frankly it's unbelievably frustrating.

Does anyone know why this might be happening?

Just calculate how many calories your body must burn to lose 18 lbs and how much of this weight you lost was most likely only Water that is now stored back.

you're in the "three week stall". Almost everyone has it - do a search for it on this site

It happened the second week though.. Kinda de-motivating...

it's not *always* the third week, but it is for most people. I had mine weeks 2 and 3. I started dropping weight quickly again during week 4. Just hang in there and stick to your program. The stall will break.

I'm so glad to hear there's a "three-week stall" because I think I'm there. I think part of mine is Constipation, too. I've started taking Miralax in hopes of turning that around. I'm down 22 since starting pre-op liquids, but nothing the past week. So frustrating, even though I seem to be losing inches still. Here's hoping we all see a big WHOOSH soon!

      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.
