Topic: RE: Four weeks out and no loss for two...
I am a little over 2.5 weeks and I lost 11 lbs since my surgery and in the last 8 days I have lost about 1 lbs. I have also tracked inches and I have lost 8.5 inches. I think sometimes we lose inches rather than pounds, it also takes our bodies time to get use to the changes we are making it can be a little discouraging but we will all lose a lot more weight it is just going to take time.
40 lbs lost pre-op

Well, I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Like I said, I know it happens but in my mind it just doesn't make sense. If you are taking in 2000 less calories/day then you are expending why don't we lose?? Just can't wrap my mind around it. I hope your loss continues! Thanks for replying.

I am a week a head of you and for weeks 2 and 3 I dropped less than a pound I was going crazy. It did start back up at the end of the week and I have lost almost 3 pounds this week.
I am one of the "bad" ones that weighs myself every day down to the .1 or whatever. Seeing that fraction of a pound move even by .2 or .3 was enough to keep me from getting too discouraged. Weighing everyday has allowed me to see trends and not be so focused on actually "weight" just that it is moving, just very slowly lol.
I wish I was one of the people that dropped 40 pounds in a month.

I will be four weeks out of surgery tommorrow and I have not lost any weight for almost two weeks. I know this happens, but I am so discouraged. I have been getting the protein in that I was told, eating 3 small meals a day (usu. one is protein shake to be sure I get enough protein). I usu. have some SF hot choc in the evening for a treat and my calories are between 500-700/day. I have been exercising, not every day but at least three times a week and getting my water and sleep. I am so glad I have this tiny pouch or I am sure I would give up and order a pizza and have a martini.
Anyone else having a stall this early?

I was just given this site the other day...lots of great things on it that I'm going to try. I've tried the hot chocolate (there's one called Proti-Diet) The hot chocolate has I believe 15gr. of protein and it's quite tasty. http://www.bariatricchoice.com/bariatric-diet-protein-hot-dr inks-14.html
Also, I'm not sure if you can have breads yet, but I use half of a whole wheat english muffin, spread it with lite herb and garlic cream cheese and add a low fat piece of turkey breast on it from the deli.
It gets easier the more foods you're able to eat.

Have you tried the protein bullet's? they have some with 25 g &45 g. They taste ok, kind of like cheap koolaid. They work in a pinch to get the extra protein in.

Hi - I had surgery the day after you and I have a hard tme getng in all of my protein too - I actually like the protein shakes, they just get old. I've heard and read a ton of reviews on the Nectar proteins, and my doc said that there is no way to get all you need from food yet, so he wants me to double up on the protein shakes. I'm going to get the roadside Lemonade and the Lemon Tea - that's what I used to drink before surgery mostly (not the protein versions), so I'm interested to see what they are like. Vitalady.com sells samples of them alll for like $2, so I'll probably get some from her as well.
As for the food I'm eating, I take 3 oz of Ricotta ( skim, lowfat) and add a 1/2 packet or so of Splenda (so good) and sometimes add unsweetened applesauce (8 gr protein)
Scrambled eggs (7 gr protein)
Tilapia ( 4 oz = 21 gr protein), pan-sauteed in Pam
SF Jello Pudding w protein powder in it - my faves are lemon, pistachio, and butterscotch
Tuna mixed with light may w Olive Oil or Miracle Whip Light ( use sparingly), and sometimes cream cheese and hot sauce for something different
Pintos & Cheese from taco bell
Wendy's Small Chili - divided into 3 or 4 servings
scrambled egg w cheese
I need to add sme eggies, but I get so full eating food that I don't think I have room just yet.
God luck finding something god - I get a lot of ideas from the Books "Before & After" and "Eting Well after weight Loss Surgery".

Have you treid different flavors and brands of protein? Necters make a lot of fruit flavored ones that some people tolerate better than the milk shake type.
Also some people can't have certain types of protein, like milk based, soy based or whatever. You should try experimenting with differn't kinds of protein. It is very difficult at this staget to get it all in without the shakes. You have to remember the shakes are our medicine.
If you just can't find something, try tuna it is high in protein. I do 2 tablesppons tuna with 1 tbsp light mayo for 10.5g protein, 1 carb, and 75 cal.
Ground turkey also has a high protein content and you can add whateve seasonings you want to it.
on http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/ has a lot of protein rich recipies you can look to try out. I love the baked riccotta one.

Well I do a lot of protein shakes so I can't really give you a menu but here are some ideas
SF Choc pudding with added Choc protein
SF Jello with added unflavored protein
Chili
eggs
Greek yogurt (has more protein than regular yogurt) you can add SF syrups
I have unflavored protein and you can add it to almost anything and you don't get protein taste it will help you get more protein
I hope at least some of these help you
