2 week post op stall? ????



Recommended Posts

Hey guys, hoping someone can help me out here. I'm 2 weeks post op today. I have not had any complications, no pain, vomiting etc (I'm NOT complaining)! My recovery has been amazing until today when I got on the scale and only dropped 2lbs!! I lost 13 my first week but only 2 this week! I'm so frustrated! Now, I do feel better, have been working out harder than "allowed to" cuz I feel like I can but scale wise I'm upset. Has this happened to anyone else? Words of advice? Thanks guy!

My advice: work on getting in all your Protein and Water every day and stay off the scale.

By the way, "only" losing 2 pounds is not a stall. You will stall throughout the process. Our bodies do not lose weight at a constant rate.

The best thing to do is focus on your Protein and Fluid goals and trust the process and weigh very infrequently.

Thanks Babbs! Trying not to get frustrated. I just felt like I was doing everything right and when I weighed myself this am I was bummed. But I will trust the journey!

I did the same. Dropped a bunch then seemed to stall. When I asked about it, I was told your body gets sort of shocked, and hangs back a second. . Most people experience it, but then it picks up again third week out. I was sceptical but, was true.. so hang tight, your body will catch up, trust the process :D

Thanks Livincrimson! It's good to know other people that have experienced it.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      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!!
