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...

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!!

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! :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
