New member here. 15day post op. Have to take hydrocodone for disc disease. Does this slow weight loss? Vsg surg. On nov.14. Hit a stall on day 8 still there.  No I'm not getting enough protein in. Just can't swallow the sweet shakes. Any ideas?

No, it won't stall your weight loss.

If you don't like the sweet shakes, try the Unjury chicken soup or add unflavored protein powder to broth and stuff.  You can also try adding less protein powder to make your shakes.  They will have less protein but taste less strong/sweet.  Or use half flavored protein powder and half unflavored in shakes.

That is a great idea poet, going 50/50 on the protein mix.

Weighing yourself daily keeps you from losing weight.

Seriously, all weighting daily will do is make you crazy. You're going to lose weight at the same rate whether you weigh or not, but if you DON'T weigh you won't worry about it so much.
