No loss in one week/Dumping Syndrome

Hi, Aliese -

Two things:

Search for "3 week stall" or even just "stall" and you will find literally hundreds of posts discussing the lack of weight loss somewhere around the 2nd-4th week. It happens a lot. It is just your body taking a rest and adjusting. If you took measurements before your surgery and take some now, you'll probably see that the inches are still coming off even if the scale isn't dropping. If you stick with the plan, the weight will start coming off again soon.

With regard to the yogurt - I know you're not a fan, so it may not matter, but don't write it off just because it didn't do so well now. A lot of people find that certain foods don't sit so well right away, but if they come back to them a few weeks or months later, all of a sudden they're fine with that food now. I'm mostly telling you this so if it happens to you with a food you really WANT to introduce back into your diet, you won't get discouraged from it too quickly

Good luck!

Thanks SpaceDust! I will do just that. It's just hard to think that the stall is so soon. I figured maybe 3-4 months down the road but dang...this was quick. LOL I did take measurements but when I see myself, I really don't see that much of a difference. i see it a bit in my clothes when I put them on but not much. I haven't even dropped a pant size as of yet and I know that is probably just how and where my body is losing the weight but come on!!!! Ugh!!!

Yogurt is deceiving sometimes... be careful with sugars and carbs in yogurts. I only eat Dannon light and Fit yogurts or Carb Masters from Kroger. I have never had the dumping syndrome and am almost 4 months out. I like the sugar free fudgecicles too but only eat 1 a day at most. Another thing... I don't weigh at home at all. I wait to see the numbers at my Dr. visits. I have read so many that were discouraged due to increases or stalls. I won't weigh again till August. If I go through a stall, I won't even know it! LOL .............. Hang in there... each day gets easier and the journey is amazing!

Good points Diane_65. I will keep what you said in mind. For now, I will not even try yogurt. I can't imagine giving myself that kind of discomfort again and on purpose. LOL

I am sure your dumping syndrome was from the type of yogurt you chose. Diane 65 is right. I only eat chobani greek yogurt- plain flavor-- very high in protein--very low in sugar. I hated the taste at first but now I love it. I have never had a stall. But I really watch my carbs!!

I am going to be very careful with yogurt in the future. I will check out the kind you mentioned. Yoplait yogurt only had 10 g of sugar & 16 g of carbs and was 90 calories. My Ensure clear has 18 g of sugar and I did not experience dumping wtih that?
