Hi I am a month out haven’t loss any weight I went from 259 on surgery date to 245 a week later and since week two I’ve been at 240-241/242 I don’t know if I am doing something wrong sometimes I can see that I am losing inches and sometimes I can’t [emoji30] any suggestions I’m 27 and 5’7

Are you following the prescribed diet carefully? People lose at different rates. Just keep your nose to the grindstone and persevere. The scale will move.

Yeah man in the same boat. Started at 376, went down to 352 in like 10 days. It’s been a month and I’m still at 349. Idk I’ve been dieting well but nothing. Hopefully it’ll change when I’m able to work out

Yes for the most part not eating as much as recommended but I am eating healthy hopefully it catches up soon

It’s so nerve racking right... I just hope I am not one of those people who does not lose with surgery

Focus on getting the prescribed amount of liquid and protein in a day. That really helps. At a month out I remember taking over and hr to drink my protein shake in the morning but I pushed through it. At a month out you are of course still healing so not eating may sound more appealing sometimes than Getting that full feeling, but pace yourself! There is such thing as eating too little which could delay progress. But go by your prescribed plan! We all have different ones so that makes it tricky!

Thank you I really feel that might be my problem I am having a hard time getting my meals in... any suggestions? I know I need to eat like 4-5 times a day and it’s hard trying to space it out and things for me because I wake up later than most people and am trying not to eat super late I’m getting in 2-3 meals a day 3 on a good day

Personally, my program allowed only 3 "meals" a day, no more, no snacks, so we do have a different plan, but I'll share what worked for me. But it really was a struggle, so I hear you completely! I never felt hungry and I was dreading eating again at the next meal time. I also remember glaring at my cup of liquid and wishing it would just disappear. BUT I set alarms on my phone every 15 minutes to remind me to drink. I honestly did wake up earlier just because I needed more time to drink and get my ounces in. Try setting alarms for meal times and water/liquid reminders. It's probably all you think about, but when that buzzer goes off, gotta do it. Remember no liquids 30 minutes before or 30 minutes after a meal too. Early on, it's a lot of thinking and a lot of alarms or feeling like you are constantly trying to eat or drink. It gets a LOT better in my experience. I'm 5 months out now and it's less of a mind game, your body adjusts.

Good luck! Hopefully others keep posting with suggestions! It was a lot of mind over matter for me early on so if you believe you can get the protein and liquid in, you'll find a way to do it!

Protein shakes get your protein in and double as fluid intake. I take Premier Protein 30g of protein in 11 oz. 1g of sugar 160 calories 5g carbs 3g fat. 2 shakes meets my daily protein intake and gives me at least 22oz of fluid.

I do premier as well and have been making sure to atleast get two in a day most days and the days I don’t I try to get the protein in with chicken and things but I’m eating meat and really no veggies because once I’m half way through meat I am full

I’m in the same stall boat. I stalled at 3 weeks and then again at 7 weeks. It is frustrating. I’m trying to not weigh myself and just concentrate on sticking with my plan. I’m down 40lbs. In 8 weeks. Im glad I’m not alone in this! This forum is great.
