Are you being active? Watch the sugar in your protein. I use Premier Protein.

All i can say is stick with it and I promise results will come. I felt so badly for not loosing anything pre-op and first week out of surgery, and then it did happen come the 2nd week. I am only 6weeks po-op and have lost 24lbs now, but if you read about other people's results of losing 40+ lbs in just a few weeks and say why not me? It's because we are not them. Everyone has different start out weights and age makes a difference when it comes to metabolism as well. Keep faith in knowing your turn is next, and stay off the scales. Only weigh yourself once a week and in morning is the best time.
Good luck on your journey and know your not alone!!!

Give your body a little time to heal. My weight loss was very slow to non existent through my 2nd week..it seemed impossible given the calories I was eating. But after that it picked back up, still do sit at the same weight for 3-4 days then drop. Hang in there, you will start losing...

It sounds like you are doing the right things. Just try to make sure you're getting in your liquids. Don't weigh yourself until you are exactly 2 weeks to the day. The first week you were pump with so much gas and fluids. I only lost 7 lbs 2 weeks out.

My weightloss was very slow the first month. There are a couple reasons why you might not be loosing weight. 1 they likely pumped you full of fluids in the hospital so you might still be retaining the fluid. 2, your body is trying to recover from major surgery so it's likely holding onto nutrients. 3, your not as active directly after surgery and that's normal. It will happen.

I lost only 10 pounds in the first month in fact I've only lost 24 pounds in the first two months of surgery - For some of us it takes a little longer to see the scale change. My advice hide the scale and concentrate on how your clothes feel. I've moved from a 3X in February when I started the process to a 2x by 8/14 surgery to a 14 . It is not instant and will take time - keep walking and drinking lots of water.

I didn't start seeing loss until 3 weeks after surgery. It will happen. Many of us have had the same problem with doing everything we are supposed to but nothing changes, then you just start dropping weight like crazy.

This is something i am also dealing with! I am exactly 1 week out and have not lost a pound not even one [emoji19]I have been sticking to my diet all liquid for another two weeks! I have been getting my protein in! I went to a med management i weigh the same as i did on the day of surgery! I will continue to follow my surgeons orders and hope that soon i will see the numbers go down! Just know your not alone!!

Me too I actually lost like 20 lbs then in one day I gained like 12 lbs back I don't know what's up it must be water retention so I'm drinking lemon water and I took one of my water pills ( lasix) I'm going to my 1 St follow up appt and I'm scared to show him what I weigh but I was 256 yesterday and now I weigh 270 wtf is up wit that ?? I did eat salty crackers mushy in my broth so it has to be the salt hopefully this goes away my appt is at 2 pm I have 2 more hours to get rid of water .. I hope I poop everyday so I should be losing more I started at 278 so if it shows only 8 lbs lost I will be embarrassed OMG I feel your pain dude . Ok thanks for your post I don't feel alone . Marcy

Week 2? You are probably still pumped up with the fluids from the hospital. My doc said she doesn't start looking at weight loss until week 4.
I know I wasn't active at my second week.
You are going to get on the scale soon and have dropped a lot of weight. It catches up! Try to be patient!!

It can take several weeks for your body to let go of all the extra fluids they pumped you full of in the hospital. I know people who gained 20 lbs in the hospital! it was all fluid...your body is inflamed, so it is going to retain that water....Just keep sipping your liquids and you will be fine. The scale will reflect the loss...it just takes time.
