I'm a little over 2 weeks post op. mine first week and a half the weight flew off me....I lost 16 lbs in just 8 days. Now I seemed to have lost nothing in 4 days. What gives? Any tips on how to get out of this??

I'm in the same boat. I actually gained 1 pound then lost it over 2 days. But still nothing significant in the past 5 days now. I was sleeved 1/21

What you are experiencing is completely normal and will pass- promise. We, I should say 95% of us, hit plateaus throughout our weight loss. Please check out this link that a member, butterthebean, on here has on his signature- it made me feel better when the scale wasn't moving. But be patient- you will lose. Promise! http://www.dsfacts.com/weight-loss-stall-or-plateau.html

That's great. Thanks. I'm going to ck this out now.

Thanks for this. I am exactly 3 weeks out today and I only lost 1.6 lbs. this last week. I have been at the same weight since Monday and was really starting to get frustrated. This article really helped me. Thank you!!

I'm a little over 3 weeks and gained 3lbs in the past 2 days. Super, super frustrating, but I'm just going to assume it's because my period is coming or something.

I lost 20 lbs in the first two weeks then nothing for two weeks and now I'm losing again! Be Patient and hang in there. It works in weird ways but it will start up again.

What you was drinking on your full liquid diet? Today is my first day. Don't know what to drink or eat. My surgery date is February 15 I'm in Miami fl.

I drink Vitamin Water which has some calories and plain water with water flavoring Mio's. I hate the taste of plain water. I also have flavored Propel water. I drink herbal teas and occasional hot chocolate for a treat. I have ready to drink Protein shakes. I like Total Lean by GNC and Muscle Milk. I bought cream of chicken to go Soups in a drinkable can that's really good. I drank chicken broth and had cream of broccoli Soup and veggie soup. That's about it. I'm not really creative in the kitchen and I can't bring myself to purée something that should be chewed lol. A lot of people on here have some great recipes that sound good.

Not losing weight in 4 days is not a stall. My doc says that a platoe is when you are not losing in months. I know it's hard but sometimes is better not to get on the scale every day. Consider that you are intaking lots of fluids and since your food intake is not much your body stores fluids and calories to survive. Your body is learning to adjust to a different life style. Also if you are not intaking enough fluids that can affect your progress. So do not stress over 4 days that you have not lost. Eventually weight loss will become slower but keep in mind that is not about how many pounds you lose but about the % of overweight that you have to lose. The more you lose, the smaller that percetange of exess weight you have to lose becomes.

In my case I sometimes don't see any changes on the scale for days or even weeks but I can feel that my clothes fit better so I realize I am still losing inches.

Don't feel discuraged or anxious, it is happening! just keep up the good work!!!!

Thank you a lot. I just can't wait for the special date.

you are pre-op? If so' date=' every doctor is different on their diets. I would call or email my surgeon and ask for spacifics

My surgeon reccomends Clear liquids with low sugar as possible. Vitamin Water is a great choice as Redy4chg.org, unsweet tea, all kinds of broth, miso soup, Jello, lite juices, lipton onion soup...just to name a few... Goodluck and give your surgeon a call [/quote']

yes im on my pre -op. My surgery date is next week February 15.

I'm glad to hear everyone is in the same boat. On Monday I will be 4 weeks out and haven't lost anything in about 7 days, but overall I've lost 17 since surgery. Will try to drink more if you guys thinks that it is a big help.
