Stop losing weight

[jo 18]

I had my surgery on August 14,2017 and my weight was 235.

At my second month check up I was 200. I just begin with solid foods 2 weeks ago.My weight at my 3rd month check was 195... (no more weight lost!!!!

I am not complaining about how much I loose because my hw was 250 and now I am 195 but I need help to go out of the stall.I am eating only 30 gr of Protein a day and around 36 to 40 ounces of Water .

Thanks

I had mine around the same time and I have had two stalls lasting a week or more. Most people suggest increasing Protein and lowering carbs. Protein first. I just stuck to my program and trusted the process. I had further surgeries and that caused small stops due to Fluid Constipation etc the last surgery was last week. Just starting to move again. I've lost about 100lbs since Aug which I'm happy with. I wasn't quite so happy about constipation and kidney stones lol

Thanks for answering!
I am following the program but I was constipated too and went to the ER and gain some weight without eating anything!,, I think it was something that they put on my IV that has a lot of Proteins and Vitamins ( they call it the bariatric fluid) . I will be more patient!!!
Thanks

Seems like you need to up your Protein intake to 60g per day. Did you get solid nutritional counseling before you had the surgery? There is some great information out there. I am still learning so much! Stay tuned to these boards, and it will help your journey a lot ️

I agree with Cathy_Anne. Your Protein intake is pretty low. I had my surgery 9 weeks ago today. My suggested protein intake is 70g. I could do it before surgery but since I have had a hard time getting without my Protein Shakes. I had a stall at 3 weeks and I've stalled this past week. I haven't been feeling great last week and didn't get enough protein, fluids or food in. So this next week should be better. I don't expect to go crazy during Thanksgiving and not really I'm worried about it. I'm still only able to get 2-4 oz of food down at a given time so the smart & healthy foods will go in first. Good luck with your stall and hit that protein.

Hi! I know i need more Protein but even at 3 months post I can not tolerate more! When i tried I vomit! I was checked and I am ok but I am getting more protein each day! I am trying to be patient and get more protein as I can.

thanks

Yes I did but I had several problems eating Protein in the first 2 months. I could not eat any then I supplement with Liquid Protein but even with that I had problems to drink eat and keep it in my stomach.I had several exams and went to the emergency room twice and even been hospitalized once.Now I am eating 40 grams of protein that I know is low for other people but it is a lot of effort for me! I will continue trying to eat more protein and maybe the stall will finish!

Hi how is it all coming along now? Have you started losing again? I hear what you are saying about IV fluids I have been back in hospital a few times and came out heavier each time!

Yes, GwennyPenny I agree each time I went to the Hospital I regained weight. This last few days I was trying to eat Protein all day and I went to 50 grams and it really help because I lost a pound! And after 4 days 3 pounds! Yeeeahhh!
