I am about 6 weeks post op, and am feeling really frustrated. I can only eat about 2 or 3 bites of anything before I feel like I am going to throw up. I just introduced real food about a week ago and since then have lost no weight. Anyone experience this also.

the no weight loss since last week is almost certainly a stall. They're completely normal. They usually last 1-3 weeks, and you're likely to hit several of them on your weight loss journey. Just stick to your program and stay off the scale for a few days. They'll eventually break and you'll be on your way again.

the nausea part - I'd let your clinic know that...if nothing else, for peace of mind.

Just stick with it. Eat what you can and try again in a couple hours to get in what you need for nutrition reasons. This gets better, it really does.

Hi,

For the first 8 weeks my doctors have only 2-4 teaspoons of food for each meal. And only 3 meals per day. After that it is 1/4 cup per meal 3xs a day.

My doctors also advise to take miralax to make sure I don’t get constipated. My friend hit a stahl and turned out it was gas and constipation.

Check in with your weight loss team!

I was advised to eat only a 1/4 - 1/3 cup depending on the food from purée increasing as I was able. It was months & months before I was eating a cup. Make sure you’re eating slowly & what you’re eating isn’t too dry (keep it sloppy or very moist) or coarse. Also take small bites almost nibbles & see how you go.

It does get better.

I bought toddler silverware when I was first post op. It made meals seem easier and I was able to spend more time enjoying it over just a couple of bigger bites.

And I agree it’s likely a stall. Just keep going and it’ll get easier as time goes on.
