I had surgery on 8/24. I lost 17 pounds during my two week preop diet and then 13 pounds since surgery. I have been in a three week stall. I am not losing anymore weight even though I am following the diet and walking a mile a day. It has me a bit worried.

I had surgery on 8/24 and I just broke through a 2 week stall. I eat between 2 to 3 oz per meal. I would not be able to eat 6 oz. my calorie intake is between 500 and 800 a day. I am also walking a mile a day. I have lost 13 pounds since surgery and 17 pounds during my preop diet. 30 pounds in 5 weeks.

I felt the same way as if maybe the surgery didn't work for me because I was able to get a lot of liquid and soft foods in. But as soon as I advanced to the stage where I can eat real food I get full super fast. I had turkey breast for dinner and could barely eat 2 oz. I agree with everyone about liquid and soft foods they are easier to get down. I also visited my therapist this week and she introduced me to intuitive eating. I was feeling hungry all the time and couldn't stop thinking about food. But after applying her tips on intuitive eating I realized that I am not actually hungry all the time and I was just so used to eating all the time that my head was still thinking that way. It really helped talking to my therapist. Good luck on your journey.

I am almost three weeks post op and I feel like I am ready to exercise but my surgeon never really said when I could. I have been walking every day since I have been home.

How long do your stalls last?

My surgeon was dr mark beatty.

I have been having the same worries. I am one week post op and have no issues drinking plenty of water and my protein shakes. I have been having between 8 and 11 oz shake for breakfast and then a coffee mug of broth for lunch. I find that in the evenings is when I have difficulty. I can only drink 6 oz or less of protein shake for dinner. Throughout the day I have 2 popsicles and when I am extra hungry I have a jello. I don't feel any real bad discomfort when drinking or eating the jello. I feel like it's almost too easy. I am worried about this because surgery was my last resort. I lost 17 pounds on my 2 week preop diet. I had surgery exactly a week ago today and have lost 7 pounds in that week.

I am on day 6 and I have lost 11 pounds

I am taking 6 weeks. I have a desk job but I really don't want to be sitting for 8 hours a day. I feel like after this surgery I should be moving not more sitting. I am taking the time to focus on myself.

I finally got approval and I am set for surgery on the 24th. I'm in the middle of my pre op diet now.

I am doing good. Have stuck to the diet so far. I also weighed myself this morning and to my surprise I have already lost 5 pounds and it's only been 2 days. So yay lol. How are u doing?

I have to do a 2 week diet. Today is day 2. It is pretty hard. I am getting hunger headaches at night. That's when it seems to be the hardest. I am a little nervous about tomorrow because I will be home all day. Weekends are when I usually over eat because I am home instead of working. I really don't want to blow it though.

I am having surgery August 24th and I live in Fort Pierce Florida

Good Luck! I am nervous about officially starting tomorrow. I have been trying it out this week just during breakfast and lunch and I was so hungry.

Oh wow lol. When do you start?
