Hey everyone. I am 6 weeks post op. I did great the first month losing 28 pounds. But I am not losing any weight and I’m scared and frustrated. I’m at 32lbs and have not moved. I even think I gained 2 pounds. I have only been drinking Protein Shakes for the most part. Some times I eat eggs when I can stand it. But Protein shakes seem to be the only thing I can handle. Especially since back at work. I haven’t gone to the gym yet but I’m on my feet at work for 10 or more hours and I walk on my 30 min lunch break and have been doing exercise videos a couple days. Do I need to exercise more ? What am I doing wrong. 😩

You’re not doing anything wrong...do a search on the site for stalls, it’s normal what you are going through right now.

You’ve done well and lost a lot of weight in such a short time, congratulations!! keep following your plan, the stall will eventually break and you’ll start losing again. I wish you the best!!

To echo what everyone else has said, you're doing great! You should take your measurements—when the scale isn't moving it can be helpful to have these to show that even though the scale isn't moving, that your measurements are changing.

You’re so right. I guess I need to just let go of my expectations of this miracle loss every week. Just hard because the first month was so amazing. Thank you so much 🖤

You’re so right I am having a bunch of non scale victories. I think measuring myself would help me feel those little victories even more. Thank you 🖤

Yes, you are doing great. But if you are stalling at this point, you might want to look at your overall caloric intake. If you aren't getting at least 800 cals a day, your body probably is in preservation mode. Check with your nutritionist!

You’re right. I thought of that too I don’t have a nutritionist. But I will start using MyFitnessPal pal again to monitor because I think
You’re right. I’m sure I’m no where near that.

      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.
