Topic: RE: 4 weeks post op question, please help!!!
I am 3 wks post op with an band, my weight loss has slowed but from my research that is common as the swelling around the band decreases, our appetites increase even just a bit, and being post op I have not returned to my regular activity level yet. So I would venture a guess the body is recovering you are taking in less then before and you activitiy is down some as you recover, well that makes your body hold the nutriants for healing.
Hope this helps,

Topic: RE: More Questions
I am not a RNY however, I am a student nurse and recommend you call the Dr. and discuss this, I do think you may need to look at yoru protien intake and possibly he can give you an anti nausea patch to help you through.
Please call them and let them get you something.

I actually signed on tonight to post the exact same question. I lost 20lbs my first week and 1/2 now I'm on my 3rd week and have not lost. I'm fluctuating between 2lbs. I wasn't worried until I went an entire week and did not lose. I'm hoping this is normal!!!

Topic: More Questions
Had my RNY 8/31. Still pretty painful! My problem is I'm constantly nauseated! I also have a constant sweet taste in my mouth. I thinking that may be from where I'm in a state of ketosis. Have any suggestions? I'm struggling to get my fluids in although I do manage. I haven't been able to get any of my protien in as I'm still on clear liquids and can't tolerate the clear liquid protien drinks well because of the nausea. Back to see Dr. Thurs and should be able to start EAS protien drinks then.
Topic: RE: Special K protein shake ok?
Had my appointment with Dr Balder September 3rd. He said i was a perfect for the lab band surgery. Gave me lab work orders and i have to have the scope thing down my throat since i have indegestion quite often. He wants to make sure i dont have a bacteria in my stomach that is causing the indegestion. I am more scared of that procedure than the WLS surgery. The scope is scheduled for Sept 11th at 645 am at the Rivertown Medical blg in Conway, SC. Then WLS surgery will be scheduled for sometime in October. Wil let everyone know how things go. again thanks for all the help and information i have been getting. it really helps.

same here, I am 4 weeks post op and my weight loss has slowed from 3 lbs a week to just barely a lb this week. I also started solids last week though and I think my body needs some time to recover from those big losses the weeks previous.

Take heart that you are not the only one experiencing this. I had my surgery 17 days ago. I lost 13 punds the first week, but have only lost 4.5 in the last 10 days. I thought that seemed odd, but everyone is saying "just hang tight, your body has just undergone major surgery and is adjusting." I hope your weight loss picks up...and mine too!!
