Plateau of week one



Recommended Posts

So I lost 11 lbs week one and 19 altogether with the pre op diet. But every time I step on the scale at my house it’s the same number. Has anyone experienced that? I go to the doctor tmrw and I’ll get a better weigh in but just worries me. I don’t want to start stalling early.

This will happen. Keep drinking your Water and pay attention to your bowel habits. Also if you just had surgery, you will be swollen. I tend to stall and then lose weight and stall again and lose weight. I've noticed that I lose inches, but my weight doesn't always go down. Another member also mentioned to get a scale that measures your body fat too.

I am also post op 1 week and I experience the same thing. I think it is normal for us. I wouldn't get to worried and give it some time the body is still healing.

What do you mean by pay attention to bowels ? Mines are lose always and several times a day. I’m going to purée come Thursday. I’m worried I won’t lose once I transition

Stop worrying about the scale right now. Let your body heal from the surgery. Follow the program. The weight loss will come.

If the scale upsets you, put it away for a few weeks.

Some people get backed up so they think they are not losing.

It sounds like you're focusing on the scale way too much. You just had surgery. How often are you weighing? You may need to go down to just weighing once a week so that you're not so focused on the number on the scale.

Did anyone else gain weight in the hospital? I had sleeve surgery one week ago and I’m just now down to my pre-surgery weight. Trying not to focus on it but it’s frustrating. My abdomen is still visibly swollen so I’m guessing the fluids are the reason.

Yes, it's from all the fluids and CO2 they give you. Once you pass your surgery gas and have your first BM you'll start noticing the change. Do not get discouraged, and remember the weight did not appear in one day, it won't be gone in one either.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
