I'm down 1 lb in 11 days and I am heated. lol! I'm stuck on bland purees for another 5 weeks and have already been on them 4 weeks. I want to enjoy some food progression with other people, and also not just lose 1 single pound while eating flavorless mush. So bent out if shape right now.

Update: Still bent out of shape. lmao. 1lb in 2 weeks now. The dietitian said to wait another THREE WEEKS before being concerned. FIVE WEEKS TOTAL? NO WAY. I am going to flip once I hit the three week mark. lmao. Sorry.

You are entitled to a freak out. Most of us have experienced the emotional bariatric rollercoaster. This is one of many weight loss mental battles to overcome. Hang on for the ride.

Sad face. What kind of purees are you eating? Maybe we can think of things to add some flavor [emoji171]

A stall 3-5 weeks post op is completely normal and expected. It is your metabolism's way of slamming on the breaks and catching up with what is happening in your body metabolically.

I'm 4.5 years post op, trust me that 'stalls' are normal, and generally most surgeons aren't concerned unless the scale doesn't move for a couple MONTHS!! Hang in there

This is totally for my own sanity and not because I need a logical reply... but feel free anyways. I am 5 weeks out today and...

I HAVE NOT LOST A SINGLE POUND IN 8 DAYS AND WTF I AM EATING 400 CALORIES A DAY AND 100% ON MY DIET GIVEN MY ULCER SITUATION, AND DOESN'T THE HUMAN BODY BURN LIKE 4 TO 5 TIMES THAT AMOUNT OF CALORIES JUST SITTING AND DOING NOTHING ALL DAY SO WHAT IS THE DEAL, BODY??!??!?! WHO EATS ALMOST PURE Protein AND EXTREMELY LOW FAT AND CARBS AND DOESN'T LOSE A SINGLE POUND IN OVER A WEEK? AND YES I AM FRIGGIN' HYDRATED. GET REAL, BODY! DO SOMETTHIIINNNGGG.

Aight, I'm better. Not really. But UGH! I lost this much on Atkins. FMLLLLL.

Just had to rant. Woooosssaaaa.

I would suggest you watch my YT video called "WLS STALLS SUCK"... I just broke a 4-week stall as I am 4-years out. I can assure you you need to increase calories, not reduced. Your body will not burn calories if it thinks you are starving. Search "Gastric Couple on YT... Joe

I'm not reducing calories. I'm eating the number of calories my surgeon told me to. I can't each much more anyways, even if I was allowed, because of my marginal ulcer.

Addy had an ulcer as well... you're doing great if that's the case.. 400 calories is not enough to lose weight and stay healthy.... did they give you Carafate or Protonics?

Addy has a "Complications" video as well... sounds like it may help you. Friend, this is a dangerous place to be... you staying hydrated is a HUGE victory!

I'm convinced most people should not weight often early on.
I agree but how do I resist the temptation of jumping on the scale? !? I tried putting the scale in an incovienent location and still found myself going through the effort to grab it.

In your situation, I would forget about weight loss and focus on getting intake down. 400 calories is not enough and I'm not aware of any professional who would tell someone that. Please reach out to Addy or myself directly if possible..... We are 4-years out and help ppl for free.... I'm worried for you.

I think you responded to the wrong person. Original poster is the one eating 400 calories a day, not me. I was just talking about being addicted to the scale.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
