Hi All,

I had RNY on August 22nd. I weighed in at 236 the morning of surgery. At my one week post op I was 228. It's been over THREE WEEKS since surgery and today I am weighing in at 227, a ONE pound loss in two weeks. I am beyond frustrated. I am getting in at least 64oz of Water a day. I am eating at least 75-80 grams of Protein and am eating anywhere between 500 and 700 calories a day, following to a T my doctors instructions for the soft food stage I am currently in. Last week I tried to go back to full liquids because I have seen some people find that helpful and I still isn't lost any weight. Not even a single pound. I am beginning to regret my decision to have the surgery. I had lost more weight in the 3 weeks no starch period before surgery than I have since having the surgery. Everything I read mentions stalls around 4-6 weeks, but I have been stalled since 1 week out.

Can anyone offer insight or support or at least tell me that there is hope for me?? Thank you all for listening...

I'm guessing that you're still retaining Fluid from the actual procedure. I held onto mine for a few weeks. Just remember that it's physically impossible (against physics) to eat that little and not lose weight eventually. It can take time, you're still filled with fluid and are swollen. It will happen!

Don't get discouraged everyone's body is different! You have to understand your body went through a traumatic experience so it sometime reacts by stalling out! Give it time and continue your meal plan as directed. Are you adding any exercise like walking around your yard, lifting canned goods, or just leg/arm lifts and circles?
I would be honored to help or atleast be of encouragement to you if you'd like that! Mentally it's great to have a partner that can provide a sound mind because we are our worst critics!!!

I hope so!! I did have to stay an additional night in the hospital because of persistent nausea so I got a ton of IV fluids. I was thinking the same thing about eating so little and having to lose weight somehow, I am praying that in a week or so I will get on that scale and see a 5 pound loss! Thanks for your encouragement!

I would absolutely love a partner to share my ups and downs with! Thank you so so much for offering. I don't really know anyone that has gone through this so it's tough to know what to expect outside of what the doctors told us during nutrition classes! Are we able to message over this app?

I am exercising 3-4 times a week, walking 2-3 miles as well as walking around the neighborhood on the days in between...

Praying to break the stall soon!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
