5 weeks post op and no weight loss



Recommended Posts

The only weight I've lost is the weight for my pre op diet (almost 20 lbs). I haven't lost any weight since surgery. I also can basically eat anything I want (I don't, but haven't had anything throwing up, nothing getting stuck. I'm also walking at least 10,000 steps a day (usually hit 15,000) I don't understand why I'm

Not losing. First fill isn't for another 2 weeks.

Advice on losing? Diet is still a couple

Protein shakes and small Protein meal. Do you lost more after fills?

Wake up- walk 2-3 miles- Protein shake (pre made same ones I used pre op), I am on feet all day for work- shake for lunch, hard boiled eggs (example) for snack, small Protein dinner. Bed around 11pm. No snacking. Probably 1000 calories a day. Maybe my portion sizes are too big because I'm not having any side effects and can still eat larger portions.

Are you measuring your food? My meals are no more then a half cup. I'm also only getting around 700 calories a day.

You seem to be doing well... With exercise and healthy food choices. Congratulations!

So I say Trust the Process.

It does work for many!

Gotta have some faith that this was a huge step in reclaiming your life!

Just keep being the great healthy version of your life and good things are coming your way

The fills will truly help on hunger and portion size if the doc manages them right.

Keep posting and let us know how you and your band are doing.

Are your shakes approx 100 calories? Does that mean your dinner is approx 800 calories? Maybe that is too much at the end of the day ; I have the sleeve and not the band - so maybe some differences ..... just wondering -are you tracking using an app like MFP or estimating

The shakes are 100 cal each. Snacks probably 200 cal in dinner around 3 to 400 calories. I guess I will see how I do after my first Fill. I just thought I would be down a lot more by now. I appreciate the replies and positiveness!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
