1 month post op - no weight lost in the last 10 days

[berkeleycurves 22]

I'm getting really disheartened. I haven't lost any weight in the past 10 days despite the incredibly limited diet.

Has this happened to anyone? I'm starting to worry that something's wrong or that this surgery isn't going to work for me.

I'd appreciate hearing anyone's experiences or advice

I am 5 weeks post op and haven't lost anything for 3 weeks. So frustrating, especially when you read all the big losses people are experiencing! Ughhhhh!

Yes me too!! Dr said it's normal. Drink lots if Water and make sure you're getting your Proteins. We should start exercising too.

It is normal to stall, in fact I think they call it the 3 week stall although it happens to some people earlier and later than 3 weeks. It is your body realizing that you are making big changes and it is not quite sure if it should let go of fat stores in your body. The most important thing you can do is stay the course on the plan. Drink 64 oz. of Water per day, get your Protein in, take your Vitamins and keep on exercising.

It will all of a sudden let go and you will start losing again.

I know it is frustrating, I had a stall that lasted 4 weeks and a couple more that lasted a week. All of a sudden weight will drop off.

Keep in mind it never comes off as quickly as that first month. Expect a couple of pounds a week if you are following the plan. Some people lose faster than that and it all depends on where you are. Heavier people usually lose more faster in the beginning. Everyone is different and you should not compare yourself to others. Also, if that scale is making you crazy, stay off of it. I actually weigh daily but I do not let the scale make me nuts. I use my clothing to gauge my weight loss. If my clothing is fitting loser, then I know I am losing inches.

Good luck and stay positive!

How much Protein are you getting? When I increase my protein, I lose. Also make sure you're getting in your Water. I know how hard this is during this early time though, I'm still not getting in as much water and protein as I'm supposed to be getting every day.

I haven't lost anything for a week now, but I've also had an INSANE week at work, and I know I'm low on water and protein.

Take your measurements. Maybe you've lost inches!! Could be Constipation related as well

I stalled 10 days after my surgery and it lasted for 17 days. It was very frustrating but I knew it had to end sometime and it did 2 days ago. Just be patient and follow your program. (Easier said than done, I know.)

Hi it is normal to have stalls I agree with the above statements, get in your Protein, Water, and Vitamins and exercise I have had several stalls just hang in their and stay focus .

How many calories do you eat a day when you up your protein? Do you only increase your protein but not carbs/fats as well? Because I worry so much about calories over all.

[amylynns 802]

I only concentrate on the Protein increase. The most calories I've had in a day is about 775. I physically cannot eat more than that.

Still nothing

Feeling disheartened. BOOO

h I hear ya! I have only lost 16 pounds since my surgery on December 18th. I am very frustrated. I am working on increasing my Water and Protein to see if this kickstarts things. I had an unrealistic expectation of losing 30 pounds in one week. LOL
