2 plus weeks post op, zero weight loss



Recommended Posts

I'm between 2-3 weeks post op and literally have not lost anything since surgery. I weigh exactly the same as I did the day of surgery. Granted I lost all the surgical fluids and IV fluids that were pumped into me the two days in the hospital. Those fluids came off within days though. The three people that were sleeved the same day as I was have all lost between 11 and 24 pounds. They did have substantially higher BMI's than I did however, I'm the only one of the 4 of us that walks daily and I follow the program diligently. Is this common, the no loss part? On a lighter not, at least I won't have to worry about the dreaded 3 week stall. Protein intake? I aim for 90 per day with ease. I have regular bowel movements, drink minimum of 70 ounces of fluids 75% is Water. 50% of that is with lemon. sleep well and feel no different now than I did pre op. I feel great. Your thoughts?

I’m two weeks out and lost 21 pounds but now I’m at a stall. I suggest talking to your Nutrionist and/or doctor. They may have do something different. Are you exercising?

Stay the course. ((hugs)) I struggle with loss while on all Protein Drinks. I build up Fluid cuz they can be insulinogenic. I don't think I will really start losing until I'm able to get my insulin back down again while eating real food. That may take 3-5 weeks after surgery.

You might want to talk with your nutritionist about how much Protein you should be taking in. Mine told me between 70 and 80 grams a day. She said if i have too much i could gain weight.

      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.
