Hey everyone I just wanted to tell everyone what is going on and hopefully i can get some advise....i had my surgery on the 8th and i've lost only 11 lbs but ive been stalled at 11 lbs for like 4-5 days..what is going on??so I looked at what i'm doing and the only thing i can think of that may have caused the problem is cream of potato soup that i've had several times..they said cream soups were fine and i haven't liked the chicken or mushroom or the broths very much so tried the potato and when i looked today after not losing anymore it says that it has 15 g carbs and i'm just not sure if that is bad or not and if that caused me to not lose or if im doing good but in a stall..i've heard of 2nd week stalls but 1st week stalls???other that that im drinking my protein, sugar free jell-o, pudding , light yogurt and thats pretty much all i eat every day...i'm so ready for the next stage...also i just started walking today so other than taking care of my babies and constantly being up walking around the house i havent had much exercise...I just wanted to break this down and see if anyone has any thoughts . I'm really hoping to start losing more..also my starting weight was 214 so my weight lose may be slower that some peoples....uggghhh i just don't know...

My life changed on the 5th and I feel almost the same way as you. I have a deal with myself that I wasn't going to weigh myself until I was a week into normal food (end of week 4). Your body has to adjust to what has happened to it and its not fair to you and your emotions while this process is going on.

Good luck

I was sleeved on the 6th and have lost 12lbs since surgery. I have also experienced a stall for the past 4-5 days despite walking an hour everyday for the last week! Am only on liquid diet and drinking my protein shakes so can't be what I eat .... so just hang in there I am sure we will see some scale movement soon!! I have decided I will only weigh myself weekly from now on .....

Watch the sodium on processed foods. Make your home made vegetable soup and only use sea salt. High sodium makes you retain Water.

thanks everyone..i really hope the scales starts moving in the direction i want..i need to check the sodium on the cream soups and i haven't tried any home made anything since surgery except broth.
