On feb 7th will be my one month post op. The first two weeks I lost 15 lbs... Now I've gained 4 lbs! My doc gave me no restrictions on food except steak and tough meat, which I haven't consumed. I make healthy choices... For example, I will chose salad over pizza or grilled chicken instead of fried. Anyone else going through or have gone through what I'm going through? Thanks! ❤️

Oh, wow, that's no fun at all. But sometimes the weight can go up or down a pound or two on any given day. This could be part of "the three week stall" we've heard so much about.

How is your Fluid intake? What are your potion sizes? Are you writing down what you eat and tracking calorie/protein/carb intake? Are you drinking Protein shakes to supplement the nutrients for what you're eating? Are you constipated?

It's definitely worth tracking those things and taking the information to your doctor during a follow-up to see if there's a way you can kick your weight loss back into gear.

The main thing-- don't let it stress you out. Develop a healthy eating plan and stick to it! You can do it. :)

I haven't been tracking... I will start doing that today. I am constipated but not as bad as I was when I was on pain meds but it's still going on. I am just drinking chocolate whey isolate shakes in the morning. I can usually take about a cup of food or less but def no more than a cup.

I would track/log everything for a few days to see if there's room for improvement. Make sure you're getting your Protein in and Water. You might want to try upping a each a little once you get your baseline.

Also, how about exercising? You you doing anything?

It seems early to be able to eat anything, at two weeks i was still on pureed food. My plan says don't exceed a half of a cup of food per meal. Are you making sure that you eat Protein first, it will make a difference. Most days if I eat my Protein first then veggies I have no room for any starch or anything else. Also it is important not to drink a half and hour before or after you eat. You may want to also check the calories and carbs on the Protein shake you are drinking because not all are made equal. I use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and this has 22 protein and scope is 100 cal and there is zero fat and 3 grams of carbs. This is the Protein powder my doctor's office allowed on the pre diet.

But keep chugging along and it will come off. I did stall at 3 weeks out but i keep going and it started to move again and now at 6 weeks out I will still have a few days I don't loose anything and then it will move again. As alot of people on her say that this is not a race its a marathon.

Another good idea is to weigh and measure everything it helps alot because some foods are more dense than others.

One way I look at my eating challenges and Portion Control is scientifically: You cannot control that which you do not measure.

I do work out at least 3x a week so I guess I will up that to 5-6 days a week. I just went grocery shopping and got all Proteins, no carbs. I just need to stay positive and be patient

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
