Stopped losing after the first week ....



Recommended Posts

Stalls are common and happen frequently. Talk to your doctor if you're concerned, but I stalled after a week as well and stayed that way until about 3 weeks out. My Weightloss tends to happen in intervals, like I'll be stuck at the same weight FOREVER then I suddenly lose 10lbs in two weeks

I lost 20 lbs during the pre-op diet, but haven't lost a single lb after that. Was sleeved on 5/9, today is 5/15. I know it's only been 6 days, but I'm disappointed that I haven't even dropped a pound. I'm following post-op perfectly, only Protein Powder, Water and 2 ozs of creamy chicken Soup now & then, plus a Protein Shake now & then. Getting 300-500 calories per day, and 50-80 grams of Protein per day. What gives?

A week out from surgery the scale wasnt moving for me because I was still getting rid of excess Fluid and gas from surgery...most of my pants didn't fit!! Remember they pump you full of salt water in the hospital. Not sure how you're feeling but it was 3 weeks before the bloating went away for me.

I also had surgery on 5/9. Morning of surgery at hospital I weighed 228, once I was discharged home the next evening, I weighed in at 234.6...I was up 6.6 lbs! I currently weigh 226.4 lbs as of this morning. So I have lost 8.2 lbs, but 6.6 lbs were from hospital fluids. So actually I've lost 1.6 lbs! HA :) So my body has been through a lots in 6 days! Hang in there and we will start sending results soon, I hope! :D

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
