I am 5 weeks post op and lost 18 lbs in the first 2 weeks and only 4 lbs in the last 3. I been the same weight for a week now. I don't eat a lot. I take a couple bites and I can't eat. Should I take diet pills ???

You need to eat more. Your body is in starvation mode and hanging on to whatever you are eating. And are you seriously asking if you should take diet pills??? Because you should know what the answer to that is.

Even if you don't have much of an appetite drink. Drink water to fill you up. Your appetite will return. You sound like your in your first stall. Increase your water intake. Try walking just change things up.

It's my second stall

I'm doing the same thing stall at 14days post op up a lbs then down I'm going to up my water and add more protein and more walking and see if that helps and it's hard to get my water in a day!!

Do not take diet pills........ This is part of the process, your body is adjusting in other ways. Perhaps sit back, take a deep breath, and remind yourself that this will take a little time. It will move again. Remember to drink a lot of water to cleanse and hydrate your body. I know at this point it's difficult to eat a much of anything, but focus on getting your protein in. Drink protein shakes to help with dropping more weight.

Please no diet pills! I'm 3 weeks out and I haven't loss anything in a week. I going to just try some of the suggestion that are above.

I'm confused. You take a few bites then can't eat anymore. What do you think the diet pills will do? I'm not trying to sound snotty (please don't take it that way) but usually diet pills are used for curbing appetite. Try increasing exercise and make sure you're getting in all your Protein and Water. It's just going to take time. Try not to get discouraged and please do not take diet pills!

stalls are normal! 22 pounds in 5 weeks is fantastic. Make sure you get your 65 grams of protein and enough water... that's it! The weight will come off. Please NO DIET PILLS!!!!!

I was starting to get discouraged myself. It has been a week since i started eating "foods" and i havent lost anything but swelling. Im glad to know that this is normal. We can all get through this together!!

Stuck at 206 4 weeks out.
