2 Weeks Post Insertion Need Advice Please

[Kez6670 1]

I had the Orbera 365 inserted 2 weeks ago. In the first week I lost 3 pounds and this week I haven’t lost anything at all. Is this normal? I am eating around 800 calories and walking 30 mins a day. Has anyone else had the same experience?

Thanks

Everything discussed over there also applies to you.

It was a big shock to me that I wouldn't loose every day/week after my surgery. I also asked on here and the answer was, You will have stall weeks and the further out you are the longer they will last. You can't break them by diet or exercise, you just have to be patient. I eventually got used to it.

The fact that you have a different type of tool will not make a difference. You are eating a very reduced amount of food, 800 calories. You are in a huge deficit, remember that. Weight loss is inevitable. Like everything else in life, it does not happen as we dream it to be. It is highly annoying though.

As long as you are tracking your food and drink and are moving more every week then you can't fail.
