I am new at this too...my surgery is scheduled for this Monday; however, I've been reading about this surgery for years so a few questions for you: Have you changed anything recently that has led to this slow down? Same amount of Protein? Meeting Protein requirements and eating protein first? Same amount of Water? Have you added or eliminated Snacks?

We are all so different but maybe we can help you pinpoint if this was caused by a change. I am sure someone more experienced will let you know if this is common. I have read that a lot of others do a "reset" when things slow down or stall. I think the reset is just Protein Shakes and Water but you should DEFINITELY not take my word for it. Best of luck to you in your continued success! Even if it is slower than you would like, the scale is still definitely moving in the right direction and that is what counts the most. Be proud of your enormous accomplishment and go easy on yourself! :-)

Yup, it happens. You have to help it along at some point by either reducing/upping calories and increasing activity to move things along because our bodies get complacent after a while.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
