I am just concerned. My surgery was July23 which I lost 13 pre op. Went to the dr. for my one week checkup and was down 23lbs. but since getting put on full liquids (pudding, protein shakes, cream soups, all  sugarfree) I havent lost ant weight.That was the 30th and today is Aug 8th. My question is does people think I am at a stall or am I eating the wrong things?  I am walking approx 1 mile atleast 4 times a week and my bowels are back to normal most likely cuz of the skim milk and my meds ultram slow my bowels down. anyway any  advise would be helpful thanks

 I'm thinking the culprit is your big first week weight loss. You may be a person who loses in spurts- 23 lbs in one week and then nothing for a while and then bang a big loss.  Don't let this play with your head- it sounds like you are doing well on your plan!

Thanks. I just keep getting scared that maybe my stomach is getting strectched or maybe the dr. didnt really do the surg. on me. I am not having any problems at all. except what I mentioned and that I get over full only after it is to late. I am not getting in enough liquids and it is scaring me.

I didn't have a loss weeks 2,3 or 4. Don't worry - it will start again - just keep following doc's plan.

 My situation is very similar to yours.  When I came home from the hospital I was 11 lbs. up (from all the fluids they pump into you).  By the next week, I was down that 11 + an additional 11 for a total of 22 lbs.  The next week I only lost 2 lbs. and here I am, 3 weeks tomorrow, and I'm stuck at a net loss of 13 lbs. from my weight the day of surgery.  I'm trying not to get discouraged, because apparently this is not uncommon.  I've been delligently following the doc's plan and I've been to the pool everyday this week, so I know I'll be okay.  And you will too!  Be encouraged!

That happened to me too!  I know its maddening because you are barely eating but it will start up again.
