Hi hesh I am the same I'm 2 weeks post op and when I'm eating or drinking I'm getting pains then burping it has eased off a bit as was worse last week. So I'm guessing it's quite common and completely normal x

 

[safc_chick]

awww I no its hard but u will get there try to stay positive, r u drinking plenty? I've had a few wks with just a 2lb loss but hopefully a slow steady loss mite mean no stalls??? am hoping anyway lol, the burping for me only happens if I've ate something I wasnt ready for or ate or drank too fast. Good Luck xx

Please please don't worry, after my op I put on 9lbs and 9 months on I have lost 10stone!!! I know it is disheartening but it will go down, it's your body just adjusting.

that is a great loss....so dont panic hun... it will come off...at first your body is getting used to your insides being totally brand new, also its is in slight sarvation mode... notmeaning your starving... but meaning its holding on to what it can for now... once your on pureed, then soft foods.. you will soon see a difference xx

 

[Tonibones10]

oh hun i can imagine it is disheartening! i hope you feel better soon but it is a great loss hun just keep going it will come off soon!!! were all here to try keep you positive and motivated! HUGS xoxoxox

I'm in exactly the same boat hun. 2 wks post op (op same day as Suzie) and my weigh in day is tomorrow but I'm pretty sure I'm looking at 2lbs.
I'm having the burpies too. I'll make a deal with you. I won't worry if you don't.
I was going to put off weighing myself until my 6-8wk hospital check but to be honest with my scales addiction it was never going to happen. We need to learn not to live by those blasted scales!!

Please dont worry. Your body will be retaining water at the moment and because you are so recently post op you wont be able to drink as much as your body needs. Dont despair, it will happen.

It is still a loss hun which is good. We all lose at different rates. Fingers crossed it will start moving soon for you.
I burp loads after I eat but I am hoping it is normal.

Mine was really slow for the first 4 weeks so i know how your feeling. It did kick in though so hang in there hun x

 

[MissyMustDoIt]

please remember that your insides are probably still swollen too, great advice above though hun x

 

[preetypee]

don't worry much hun you are doing great, keep up being positive you are on your way. xx

 

[Louise1]

My 2wk weigh in is 2.5lbs which isn't great but if I'd lost that as weight watchers or slimming world I'd be over the moon.
I'm just trying to put it into context that every loss is a loss!!
Chin up hun.

[hesh]

I'm a sleever and 7 weeks post op today, and my weight stalled for about 3 weeks; it might just have been 2 weeks but it felt like forever because I'm on the scales every day..can't stop myself. It's slowly moving again, and besides the scales I use a leather skirt I once fit into when i was last skinny (it's a size 14 and no "give" anywhere)...as a yardstick. I can see on that skirt that I am losing even though the scales don't agree!
