Surgery july 23 and scale hasnt moved since the 30th
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

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!

I know how you feel. My surgery was July 24 and I have lost 30 lbs including preop and nothing for over a week.
