Not happy



Recommended Posts

I have read that week 3 is a slow week but I am on week 5 and no weight loss in 2 weeks. I am barely eating and it's hard to get down more than 1 Protein Drink. What am I doing wrong. So many others are down 30 or 40 pounds by week 5 I am only down 20.

Everyone is different. How many times are you eating a day? I eat about 5-6 times a day every 3-4 hours. Also you getting all your Protein and Water in? This could slow things down as well.

I wouldnt read to much into it just follow your doctors orders and if you havenet start doing some type of work out.

I had a seven week stall. Everyone is different and you just have to either try different things or go with the stall. It will work.. Just be patient

From my years of experience with various diets and physical trainers...I saw a red flag in your post.

You said you were barely eating..and that maybe why you're not losing. If you don't get in enough Protein, your body will go into starvation mode. You have to get your Protein in somehow. As others have noted, spread your meals out during the day, eat very small multiple meals if it helps.

Good luck.

I also eat 5-6 times a day 2 to 3 ounces at a time. You may need to up your calories so your body gets out of starvation mode.

Bingo.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
