STUCK AT 203 ONLY 2 1/2 WEEKS OUT

Hello my Aug family, I had surgeryon the 16th of Aug so I will be 3 weeks post op on Tuesday. I seem to be stuck at about 203. I have done everthing I am suppose to do. i lost 18 pounds the first week and 6 over the next week but nothing since. i am at the stage where I can have cream soups, sf pudding, applesaice. Next week I can add chesse, mashed potatoes, cream of whaet and bananas. So My qusetion is what should I do? Take care, Chrissy

My surgery was 15 Aug, so I am only one day ahead of you. (However, I don't start blended foods until tomorrow.) I too lost right away, 23 lbs in the first 2 weeks, then have stalled. For me, I know it is temporary as my body adjusts and it hasn't bothered me. One thing I have seen on the Main Board here is the reoccuring advice of protein. That staying hydrated and getting all your protein is Key to this new tool working. So, while I am at the same post op window as you, I don't have an answer, except what I have noticed others pointing out which is: Are you getting enough protein?

Hello, I am getting about 65 grams of protein a day plus my water is at about 40 ozs a day. I am wondering if I need to increase my exercise. Take care, Chrissy

Hey Chrissy, Go back to the page before this and check out the replies to my topic of "Weight Loss, Not". It says it all and I found a few to be really great in creating a different mindset, which I think is more important. Dawn
