It takes time...
I'm about 2 1/2 weeks post op and I've reached that point. In the beginning it was falling off every day. The last 3-4 days it has gone back and forth up 2lbs down a lb. Very frustrating trying to figure out what I'm doing to cause it, but i assume it's my body still adjusting. I need to take the advice of some of the others on here.....STAY OFF THE SCALE FOR A WHILE!
And like you said...6 months into it we will see a huge difference! Keep up the good work...you're doing great!
I start pureed next weekend. I'm not too excited about it. I'm content with my protein shakes.
Yes the constipation is horrible. I wonder how you can be constipated when all you take in is liquid!! OMG! I thought in the beginning I was going to be lactose intolerant because every time I had a shake I was running to the bathroom.....that didn't last. I'm wishing it had right now...LOL

My hubby moved the scale out of our bathroom. He noticed that I was weighing myself everyday. Which I know is not a good thing. But I just want to see the scale numbers drop. Anyway, he has not returned the scale to me. He said I should just relax, continue eating properly (according to my NUT) and everything will be fine. I have heard quite a bit about the 3 week stall. My NUT mentioned that in the first 3 weeks it's possible to gain a couple of pounds. I can honestly say, I have not idea, seeing that I don't have a scale...
My surgery was the day before you guys. I just started Stage 4 today. Not sure what I'm going to eat different. I would like to take it a little slower than my binder (NUT) is instructing me to. Also on the constipation.. I had it too. Soo bad. What I started doing is drinking Smooth Moves Tea every other day. Only about 4 ozs. But it sure does help.
I think my issue is protein. I can't find a shake I like. I am on purees now so that is better.
As far as the bathroom: I am directly the opposite. Usually after a shake I am not safe to leave the house for a while. That should be interesting when I go back to work. I am a teacher so I can't just run to the ladies room. Middle schoolers can't be left alone, EVER!
