I haven't lost any weight since leaving the hospital! None! What's going on?

Well lucky u cause I've put on 8lbs!!

Im in the same boat. I had surgery December 3 and only lost 8 pounds. I thought i was on my own.

I mean 9lbs

If I remember right my real weight loss didn't start to kick in until I was on solids. I think metabolisms have to be healed and normalized. Once you get things moving and your body heals it will get going. Remember, it's fat loss you want, not smaller numbers on a scale. Inches lost trumps weight loss.

Are you tracking everything you eat? Are you measuring? Getting in the prescribed amount of Protein and Water in-take?

Some people are slow losers which isn't a bad thing at all.

I'd prefer to lose inches than weight (luckily right now it's both) but I agree with Gmanbat--inches definitely trump the scale.

I weigh ny food but suck when it comes to my liquid intake. I lost 13 pounds during my 2 week pre op diet and only lost 9 after surgery. I thought i would if been down 20 pounds after surgery by now.

Same here.. I thought I would never lose but after a while it just started coming off. Since surgery I have AVERAGED about 3.3 lbs per week. Slower than some... great by me! Hang in there

How far out are you?

My NUT told me, it is paramount to get your Water in because it helps breakdown the fat cells and shed the weight. I've made it so that I put liquid Protein in my water, so I kill two birds with one stone.

Try to sip it all day long..and only stop when the required time before and after your meals.

It works for me. I start as soon as I wake up and sip all day..before you know it, you're over 64 oz.

Good Luck. If all else fails, call your doctor's office and asked to see the NUT, they may have some suggestions to get you moving. From what I've read here, for some, it just takes longer and then it starts to come off quickly.

One month out.

it's normal i think - you have a ton of water weight from the iv's you've been hooked up to. i remember being weighed before surgery then weighing myself when i got home and i was really upset. your body is going to be pretty swollen a little while after surgery so it's going to take a little bit of time for that to come off, and when it does, you will start to see the numbers getting lower and lower. also, not to be too gross, but once you start having regular bowel movements that will help too. i know i drop a little bit of weight after i go lol

My Dr didn't give me very many post instructions. I'm on well chewed solids. I can eat almost anything. Still not losing any weight.

It's been a month, you'd think my hospital water weight would be gone.

Do you have any follow up with your doc or nutritionist? It might be a good idea to mention this to them. Of course, you could be losing inches without losing the lbs! Sometimes when people find themselves in a weight "stall," they still lose inches off their body! Are you meeting your targets when it comes to Fluid intake?
