it's a stall. Your 500-600 calories a day is fine - and do NOT worry about calories at this point. Only focus on protein and fluid intake. you are what we call a "lightweight" and you're not going to lose nearly as fast as someone who starts at over 300 lbs. Combine that with the stall and....you're probably right where you need to be. Just stick to your plan. The weight will start to drop again once the stall breaks, and you WILL lose your excess weight as long as you stick to your surgeon's plan.

For the past few weeks the scale has been going back and forth between 198-200lbs. I refused to count it until I was under 197-today is that day😄😁 1st goal get under 200lbs met!

Hi Pepper, I'm at 4 months post op & I've had zero complications. I didn't have any digestive or heartburn issues going into this & I don't have any after. I'd say nothing has changed for me at all except I eat a lot less & I wish I'd done this sooner.

👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 23 MONTHS POST VSG/ 3 MONTHS POST RNY CONVERSION 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤weight: 153❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Updates: Stricture appears to be resolved 👏 Only a few incidents happened around certain foods that I have now avoided (still cannot eat mechanically separated poultry (turkey sausage, chicken deli meat, breads bread textured products, refined sugars etc. my body still rejects it... No big deal don't like it anyway) Mostly maintaining despite being on the road for a while but now back to a very simplistic diet 🙌 Life is basically back to normal now but features are vacay selfies and food pics All in all very very good ❤

Surgery went well. I felt fairly good after. Came home two days ago and a bit sore, especially on my left side......I don’t think messing up my pre-op diet did anything although the dr wanted me to have lost more weight before.......still up in weight because of fluids. Home recovering......

Update, now that I'm home from the hospital having major pain here on day 3 - go figure. I think I have the right meds though going to take in a few..........

Hahahaha.... I am such a rebel, that made me giggle... 🙂.

They called today and my surgery is scheduled for October 9th. I am so excited!
