Hellos guys,

I'm kind of depresive today. 15 days post op and I haven't lost any weight in the past 9 days!! First week was amazing, I lost 12 pounds, and the past week I started with the full liquid diet, now I'm in the soft food stage, chew it a lot and I can eat it (meatloaf, deli chicken, vegies and soup).

This really freaking me out, I'm not eating alot, I'm trying to drink as much Proteins I can.

Any ideas on what I can do, or what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help!!

Magui, the weight will come off. It is impossible for it not to with such a deficit. I'm going through this right now too, but I have to keep positive and remember this is going to be something ongoing for a long time. I can't keep expecting to lose a Lb a day. It will slow down to about 3-4 lbs per week eventually and I'm ok with that. Better than the alternative!!

Magui, This happened to me up til day 10 lost 21 pounds, then nothing....nothing...nothing.... for 11 days- then I absolutely made sure I was getting in 60-70 Protein sometimes more (there were some days I was taking in 40 gr protein), and making sure I got my liquid intake 64oz. Then couple days later I started losing again. I would suggest go over all you eat, re-read the nut values on pkgs. Make sure your getting your protein & Water, and just wait it out, your body is adjusting...

Don't worry I'm 2 weeks today and I'm having the same problem the scale hasn't moved much at all at first it did but now it's staying the same, I even got my first period since surgery maybe that's why it hasn't moved!!!!! I'm gonna go take a walk on the treadmill and hopefully the scale will change nest week good luck to u and hope ur feeling well I'm pretty much to feeling normal again

Thank you for the advice. I'll reduce my Proteins between 40-50 gr daily

I'm happy today because finally the scale moves a bit

MAGUI,

I THINK MISUNDERSTOOD ME!

DONT REDUCE YOUR Protein, I WASNT LOSING BECAUSE MY PROTEIN LEVEL WAS 40-50 IT WAS MY MISTAKE WHEN I READ THE LABEL ON MY PROTEIN SUP.

WHEN I INCREASED MY PROTEIN 80+, I STARTED TO LOOSE AGAIN!! IF YOU REDUCE YOUR PROTEIN TO 40-50 YOU WONT LOSE!!

OMG! Thank you for the advice. I'll increase my protein now

All the best for you!

I'm in the same boat. I've lost 20 since my surgery and this week it's been nada. I weigh on Monday's and my dr appointment was today and the scale only showed about a half a pound. I get in 80+ protein a day, I'm sitll on liquids, I get up to 64 oz of water a day. I thought maybe it was the soups I was eating. I was told that my body is used to the weight and because I dropped it so fast my body is adjusting before letting go of more. He told me not to worry about the nutritional value in the soups I am eating because I am eating the healthy request campbell soups and that when I hit soft mushies I will need to worry about my intake at that point. I even asked a friend that had bypass done a long time ago and she said the same thing happened to her about 3 weeks out and that she would drink a little grapefruit juice. Don't know the point of that but I might try it. Good news is the scale isn't going up!
