I'm 2.5 weeks out and it seems I've already stalled. The first week I lost like 10 lbs and now my weight has barely budged in a week and a half. I thought the weight would just be melting off. Was very successful with full liquids and puréed stage...no nausea. Just starting soft foods stage. When will the weight start coming off again?!

U cant worry so much and how many times are u getting on the scale ! ????the weight is going to come off but it takes a while esp when you moving from different diet stages ..as long as u sticking to ur diet and doing ur excercise u will see the weight come off ..just dont be too impatient and i kno easier said than done ..just remember ull lose then ull plateau a lil then lose again .. Hope this helps ????

Hello, I have the same problem too, I'm 7 weeks post op and stalling, I haven't lost any in 2 weeks now and I am following the diet, what's going on here??

I had one at two weeks that lasted two weeks, but things are moving along fine now. Do everything you are supposed to do and trust your tool. It will happen!

Best of luck!

@@lwprice and @@Dkiss37 If you are working out and doing weight training. You may be putting on muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat. So it could be that you are still loosing fat and gaining muscle. Measure yourself in inches lost and you will see that change that you desire. Neck, bust, waist, hips, thigh, calf, upper arm, wrist. You choose.

Don't feel bad, I'm at 3 weeks and a day and I'm UP 4lbs! I think it's due to not drinking enough Water because I only pee once a day and my ankles are swollen (so I'm retaining everything I drink). Plus, I haven't pooped since Sunday. I'm also having an issue getting Protein in, but I'm coming in under 400 calories a day, so it's mathematically impossible that those 4 pounds are fat.

So today is all about drinking. I'm sure my 4lbs will be gone in a couple days, it's just so frustrating when you aren't eating and still feel so weak.

Thank you guys for the advise, I'm going to try and drink more water, I think that is where's problem is.

angel, everything you shared here worries me. First you must drink your water. I cannot tell you how important it is. I know from experience and learned the hard way. Right after my surgery I became dehydrated because I did not get in the required water. This caused severe constipation. My dr suggested something stronger then just Benifiber. I took Dulcolax. She also prescribed that I have an ennema (fun ????). Well, this was successful as far as the constipation issue, but I became severely dehydrated because of all the loss in fluids. Ended up in the hospital ER with an IV drip.

400 calories is not enough! Your body needs more then that to function. You need to be concerned with malnutrition. Get in your protein requirements and it will help with your weakness.

Keep with the program and get in your water and protein and you will see progress in your weight loss. A lot of us have complained about stalls, etc only to find out a few more calories and a bit of exercise moved us back into the weight loss stage.

Jjinwa-agreed! I'm working on it. I couldn't stand the "milky" shakes, so I bought the isopure ones yesterday. I don't really like them, but they don't give me the phlegm feeling.

Try the syntax nectar protein powders. Not milky and a bit lighter. I also like the click expresso (decaf for me) protein powder. A nice change to my premier shakes that are milk based.

I'm four weeks out an have stalled for the past two weeks no gain but no loss..I walk everyday drink my water an get in one 30gm protein shake an then able to eat some lean shaved deli turkey an have 1tbsp of peanut butter for lunch an 1/4 cup edamomba beans to get in the rest of protein due to lactose intolerance causing chronic diarrhea. I have great diet tolerance of food. This scares me due to I can tolerate mire than they said I would. I didn't put myself thr this for only 24lbs.

I see this was posted some time ago and I am in the same slow spot as you lwprice now. What has your progress been since?

I'm at the four week stalk I haven't lost any weight. for a week I've been at 258.5
