I am not losing weight



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on 4/29. My op weight was 317 and my first about was 307 May 7 but I have lost nothing since then. All I eat is these d&mn Protein Shakes and water! I am very aggravated and have my 3 week appt on 5/21

Although I'm not sleeved yet, I've read on many threads here that this happens to many people. Your body has just gone through trauma/stress and is adjusting to the lower calories, limited intake, etc. Just keep doing what you've been told by your doctor and it will work out in the end! Be sure to talk to your doctor on Tuesday - I'm sure s/he'll reassure you of the same :rolleyes:

Try not to weigh yourself. I only weighed myself on my doctor check ups. Now that I am close to maintenance, I have to weigh myself once a week at home to monitor how I am doing. I felt that way in the beginning... Then it comes off. How are you feeling otherwise?

Thanks again this site has been a Godsend for me. My husband and sister in law are so supportive but they don't understand both can blink hard and lose 10 lbs

I was sleeved 4/10 and am down 43lbs since then (weight surgery say was 300) .. I was at a stall for about 3 weeks. In that time I was almost hospitalized for dehydration, also making me notice I wasn't eating enough.. Since recovery from that I get in all my liquid, eat about 800 calories a day including 50-60 g of protein... 1st week of doing that I broke the stall and lost 4 lbs. although it is discouraging at times we can't give up- IT WILL HAPPEN!!

Stalls happen. It seems common to hit one at about 3 weeks out. After that you will loose a few more pounds and then stall again. Watch your carb intake during these times. Try to stay a low as you can. Up your Protein, drink as much Water as you can and exercise as much as you can. I also have noticed that during my cycle I will stall.

It is common to stall this early? I am also wondering if it is because of my cycle as well. I will just keep postive. My husband said I looked smaller to him but I actually and 2 lbs heavier and the doctor asked me if I was about to start my cycle

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
