It's ok and it's normal. Follow the plan and it will pick back up! Your body is still recovering for surgery.

you have just gone through a major organ surgery... just follow the diet plan your NUT & Doc put in place for you... everyone goes through some kind of stall or period of time without weight loss... your body just has to catch up... it will happen... just make sure you are getting in your Water & Protein every day and start walking. Good Luck!!!

Be patient - you're recovering from major surgery. Your body is trying to figure out what you've done to it...You've had surgery and you're eating/consuming close to nothing.

My suggestion is to weigh yourself once per week (more if you can stand it). The scale is not your friend right now. Take this time to heal and take care of yourself. Your body will react when it's ready - and that timeline may be different than what your mind wants it to be.

I totally understand your frustration! My first week out I lost 12lbs then nothing for 2 weeks then when I didn't expect it I lost 6lbs the 4th week, 4lbs the 5th week and 3lbs the 6th week, so the weight will come off! When I was dealing with my stall I assumed the surgery wasn't going to work for me but like everyone here suggesting, be patient! Good luck

      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! 😞
