I've read a few dozen of these posts on here already, and I thought either the poster was cheating or they were just impatient with some Water weight issues.

Now it's happened to me, and I'm losing my drive. I've logged every single bite. I've averaged 816 calories per day throughout this stall, without a single day over 1000. I'm getting 80+g of Protein and all my Water. My NUT says at my current weight, I'd need 2300+ calories a day just to break even.

Over the last two weeks, I've gained two pounds. WTF! How is that even physically possible? I don't understand.

It makes no sense. It seems calorically impossible. It is frustrating. I don't understand either, but I do know the loss varies.. and stalls, and resurmes. Most importantly, it resumes.

Don't weigh often= not daily nor weekly. Gains happen. It's natural. You fluctuate from 500 to 700 to 1000 calories and back so your body has to readjust.

I came to realize I went from probably 3000-4000 calories on a good day on avg down to 300-500 at surgery my body kind of went into shock. You're learning to live this new life just as your body is learning to live with this new stomach.

Apparently, I just needed to log in and whine to a bunch of strangers. The scale started moving the next morning, and I'm back on track again!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
