That's good to hear I'm glad it moved for you, I'm taking the same advice and had my husband hide the scale and I'm just going to focus on eating well ,getting my liquids, and exercising and I will weigh in once I'm 6 weeks post op which is next Monday that'll have been 2 weeks of no weigh ins so I'm hoping the scale will be down a few pounds by then.

Thank you for saying this, I've had so many people questioning why I had the surgery because I wasn't "that big" and everytime I would ask myself in my head what does "that big " mean and "how big" do I need to be to make a life changing decision? I'm also 4'11 and had a slew of health conditions that by having this surgery would help control or eliminate, is it so bad that I'm 30 years young and would like to live long enough to have babies and raise them and be healthy enough to do so?! Why do I have to be a certain "big" to want to change for the better?! I just wish some people would go back to basics, if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything!

My surgery was 7/11 and I hit a stall at 2 weeks post op and have only lost 14lbs my start weight was 200lbs so a little on the smaller side, I didn't dry my expectations to high but I did expect to see a few lbs loss per week! It was suggested to me to measure myself to see if I'm loosing inches instead of bothering with the scale and driving myself mad, so I had my husband hide the scale and I will not get on it for 2 weeks, I'm just going to focus on getting in my protein/fluids and work out and pray for a loss in 2 weeks! Don't be discouraged good luck Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've been experiencing the same thing and my husband told me he thinks it's the Protein Shakes because of the lactose, how did you determine that you'd become lactose intolerant because I used the same shakes and almond milk pre op with no issues but I cannot seem to figure out what's causing the diarrhea?!

I'm so down, that's a great idea, definitely need to start the day more positively! I just told my husband once I go to bed in a minute to take the scale and hide it until next Monday, and I need to read that do I just google it or where can I find it?

@@betterme38 I will definitely try the tape measure, thanks got the tip Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@higher Yes I've been trying to stick to just once a week but for the last 2 weeks I weighed and didn't see a loss it makes me want to keep getting on the scale, maybe I'll have my husband take the scale and put it somewhere so that I cannot keep torturing myself!

Wow crazy we're experiencing the exact same thing, I'm eating the same amount of protein per day as you and getting the same amount of calories, I'm not getting all the water in but I try to at least get 40-50 oz in and I'm walking at least 1.25-1.5 miles everyday and still nothing, I have my one month post op tomorrow so I'm hoping to get releases so I can hit the gym and add in some weight lifting and such in hopes that that'll help! Glad to know I'm not alone, sounds like we got our surgeries around the same time, we should keep in touch and follow each others progress Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello all today I'm 4 weeks post op and I've already hit a stall I've lost 12-14 lbs(it keeps fluctuating) but it's been like that since post op week 2, has anyone else experienced a stall this early? Also I do fine with with eating/drinking during the day and don't have any cravings what so ever, but once night hits im feel like I'm starving and craving everything is this normal? TIA for all the info! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Right?! Me too, I'd like the recipe as well please Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 3 weeks post up but my tummy isn't liking a whole lot of soft/mushy foods, so far I've been able to add cheese, tuna, eggs, chicken salad, and lunch meat along to the liquids. My NUT told me no salad or raw fruits until 6-8 weeks and I'm not sure about the Protein bars, I suppose if they're soft enough and chewed really well and tolerated you could have them Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I think that's where I messed up I was so exited to add some food to my diet, that I didn't just try one thing at a time, although my instructions didn't say to do it that way I just figured that I don't know what's being tolerated because I'm trying so many different things. But I will try it that way this week and hopefully things will be better Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've been keeping a diary and I can't see the NUT until the 11th but I plan to discuss this issue with her, just wanted to get some insight from people who may be going thru or went to the same things! Thank you for your input I think I will do liquids all day tomorrow, then try to introduce one thing every couple of days this week and see if I can figure out what's causing this! Thanks again Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ok, that's good to know, did they recommend continuing with the stages as planned or go back to liquids? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
