Weight staying the same

[WIGLET]

I have only lost about 3lbs over the past 2 weeks, I think I am not eating enough. Will need to try to increase what I am eating.

You will find it much easier on soft foods to get enough protein in without being bored. It does go against habits of a lifetime to be told you are not eating enough, but it is very true. You don't want to be losing muscle tone, just the dreaded fat so you really need the protein to avoid muscle wastage. Guess what I have been using this past few weeks, Lynne Yep the vibrator is now in our conservatory & thus far I am accident free, lol xxx

OMG! have you warned the neighbours Denise? Please be careful. you have precious cargo inside you now xxx

I'm sorry but i have skimmed most of this thread. I just have one question for you....

What the hell are you joining a gym for at 4 weeks post op? Are you serious?

Firstly, you shouldn't be thinking of serious exercise until your surgeon gives you the go ahead. I know quite a few wls patients who have hernias, and a sure fire way to get one is to be doing silly things like strenuous exercise without surgical consent..... Seriously suspend your membership or only use the pool till you are told otherwise.

As for weight loss, your body is getting used to the surgery, you have swelling going on inside you and probably still some anaesthetic lurking. Be patient. You aren't taking in many cals at 500 a day. I know eating is tough, but if you can't physically eat them then drink them. Get some good protein rich milk down you, good for healing and good for the protein...

Believe me, you can't be the only one who has thought they were the one to beat the bypass and you won't be the last.

Now get on with being a big loser please xx
