I'm almost one month out and in total with pre op liquid diet I've only lost 27 lbs, is this slow?? I've been weighing myself everyday, should I stop? I'm stressing myself out I have this huge fear that I will not be successful and that I will not lose anymore weight? Will my weight loss pick up once I start working out? Please tell me my weight loss is not over I have so much more to lose, someone please assure me that I'm just panicking I've been stuck on 245 for about a week and a day now

You are having the week 3 stall on schedule! Not to worry, everyone gets it. I got mine early at 9 days out. Your body is adjusting to the new calorie amount and needs a little time to reset.

Search "embrace the stall", it explains it in more detail.

I'm 4 weeks out and I stalled 3wks in and at my month f/up I lost 29.8 lbs (I'm calling it 30lb), dieticians says we will go through a lot of stalls as our diet change and activities.. I don't weigh myself as often as you so because the scale stresses me out..always have..only weigh once a week but I can tell in my clothes more than anything..down in inches and a pants size..:D that excited me more than that scale!

I'm literally in the exact same position. I'll be a month out this Thursday and so far including pre op I lost 25lbs. I too feel like it's slower than what I expected but I'm not going to stress over it. Also I try to only weight myself once a week. I know weight fluctuates a lot and I'm not trying to stress myself out. Don't worry we'll get there!

      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!!
