Weightloss Plateau...

[sweet 98]

I have a few questions for all you guys that are post op...

I see a lot of ppl posting about what they eat even as early as a few days post op. I'm soon to be 9 weeks post op and I just begain to eat "real" food about 2 weeks ago. But seems like when I eat I either dnt lose weight or I will gain back a pound. Vs. When i was on my liquid diet I was dropping weight like crazy. The problem is now I actually get hungry :/

I usually will eat an egg for dinner with some crumbled fat free feta cheese. I'm not sure what the problem is. But I been at -52 lbs for about a week and a half.

I know it is frustrating, but plateaus do and will happen. You have averaged nearly 6 pounds a week so far. Your body is just saying "Hey... let me catch up" How many calories are you eating a day? Are you getting your Protein and Water?

I'm not exactly sure how many calories I intake a day. My Dr. Told me to concentrate on carbs and the amount each food contains. And to stay away from them! LOL

I do take my Protein shakes and drink Water all day long.

I am only about 4 weeks (march 21st surgery date) post op and I haven't lost any weight in a week. Not since I started eating real food. Maybe an ounce or 2. Its quite frustrating because I'm eating properly. Getting my Protein in as well as exercising. WTF???? Should I have hit a plateau this early in the game? This is extremely discouraging...should I call the nutritionist?

Hi Panda, I totally understand your frustration. I would probably call the nutritionist, it won't hurt. I am afraid that when I start mushies this week that I won't lose weight anymore, or it will at least slow way down. But, I know that I can't live on a liquid diet forever.

Grr! Yet another day and the same weight!

I should just stop weighing myself...

Yes, you should!!!!

I was driving myself crazy about my weight. I actually left a support group in tears because I was not losing and I was getting so depressed sitting and listening to people happy about how well they were doing.

I had my husband hide the scale, and I can't begin to tell you how much better I feel. What a relief!!!! I still am not losing any better, but at least the mental anguish and feelings of failure are gone.

Oh boy! I'm gonna do the same. It is torturous!

I hear ya. I asked my husband to hide the scale 3 nights in a row. 3 mornings in a row it was still there. Finally I told him "I'm gonna throw that lying piece of electronic crap off the deck" His reply??? "Just don't step on it"

Really?????????

If I could have stopped on my own I would have.

Now it's hidden.

And I feel better.

It's so funny there reaction to things that are so "simple" to THEM, yet so stressful to us women. Sometimes they just dnt understand.

Boys will be boys :/
