Miralax for the bathroom problem and make sure you are drinking enough water. If this is your first "not losing" week, welcome to the "Your body is adjusting to losing 30 lbs in five weeks" plateau. Don't worry, keep to your plan, and you will continue losing. The plateau happens to everyone, just some people have longer ones than others. You will be fine.

I dropped 30 lbs the first month and stayed the same weight for 4 - 5 weeks - then dropped another 8 lbs this week.

I about went crazy - you are fine!

THANKS THIS HELPS SOO MUCH TO KNOW THIS.. I AM IN THE SAME BOAT. 5 WEEKS OUT AND 30 POUNDS.....

Is this a powder you can add to shakes...sort of like metamucil? I'm trying to find one that is not gritty.

Thanks

Hey Ready4this...you told my story exactly...I am at the six week mark, and I am also at 30lbs., but I have started a new concern...extreme swelling in my feet, ankles and lower legs. Anyone else having this at six weeks post-op? I feel like it will never go away. Someone please help me.Thanks.

Thanks and I too will hang in there. My swelling is driving me crazy though. Any ideas on why this would be? I am drinking my water, at least 64 oz. a day, keeping the sodium low, and taking potassium to bablnce it all out. Am I doing something wrong?
