Topic: RE: is it possible to have a stall 2 weeks post-op?
I am so happy! After almost 3 weeks with no weight lost it has finally started again.
The doctor told me to drink more water I did and notthing. He told me to up my protien It was so horrible but I did and still notthing. Finally he told me to eat every two to three hours and SCORE!!! It worked I started that about 3 days ago and today I weighed in at a 4lb weight loss. I hope this will continue. I am so relieved I was actually to the point of tears a few days ago.

I had my lap RNY on the 27th of may and it has been almost 2 weeks since I have lost anything. In fact I gained a pound today. Who ever said calories in vs. calories burned equal wt lostt is an idiot. I'm not getting in my calories, my liquids or my protein, how can I not be loseing weight. I know the story about my body being in starvation mode/shock but it is still hard to accept.
My husband has to have a colonoscopy tomorrow and has to be on clear liquids today and he expects me to be sympathetic?
give me a break, only one day?

Yup its normal and it will **** you off!!! Your body is starving and it is a little confused now.. Give it about a week and a half and you will drop about 10 lbs. That is what happened to me and I am about 12 days before you in surgery. Keep plugging along!!!

Topic: RE: ONE WEEK CHECK UP !!!! WOWWWW
That is so awesome!!!!!!!!!!! 22 lbs. in 6 days!!!! I have my 10 day appt. on June 25. So far, I'm down 11. I can't wait to eat cottage cheese! Can't believe I'm saying that, but I want to chew .
Of course, getting my protein in is a hassle - what do you do? I see you wrote this on 6/1 so you're probably on regular foods now, right? How is that???
Take Care and congratulations!

Topic: What are you guys eating????
I had y surgery on the 26th and am looking for ideas. I don't eat yogurt or, cottage cheese. I am trying to up my proteins with food, but am finding it difficult. I eat cheese or deviled eggs. Those seem to be the only things that go down without getting stuck. Chicken and tuna get stuck, no matter how long I chew them.
Topic: RE: HOW are all the May Flowers doing ?
Wow = we are all doing pretty good. I've been at a bit of a stall for almost 2 weeks but keep doing the right things and I'm hoping my Sunday weigh day will show something down. I'll be sure to get a two mile walk in and pee before I weigh tho! LOL
