To the 2 week post-op - make sure you're taking in enough calories! I experienced the same thing and collapsed twice due to too few calories. To the 6 week post-op - are you on blood pressure medication? I agree with the response above that it could be low B/P - check with your doctor.

Congratulations!!! Truly amazing!

That is absolutely wonderful and amazing!! So happy for you!!

If you search "stall" on this site, you will probably see that almost everyone stalls at the 3-4 mark. Some for 1 week, some more - I was 3 weeks... and handled it the same as you. My body had been through an assault - even with no complications - liquids, surgery, soft foods... I switched to 1/week weighing as well. Since the stall I have lost consistently from 1-2 pounds a week. I am totally good with this! The stall will end and you will continue your journey to health!

Congratulations!!!

Unless you're running a fever, I don't think it will interfere with your surgery.

I lost about 24 pound in the first month. Since then, 1-2 pounds a week. I am totally happy with that. However, I'm equally happy with the changes in my clothes. I have had a few mornings this week where I have tried on 5 outfits - things that were fitting me last week looked huge on me this week. I am taking joy in every little (and big) indication of weight loss. I'm also hoping that if I lose slower, my hair loss might not be as dramatic!

I was given a restaurant card as well, but I don't eat anywhere that has kids meals. I've been ordering what I'm in the mood for, eat my teeny tiny portion and then bring the rest home for the next day, the kids, my hubby...

Congratulations!!

What about a pureed lentil soup? That was one of my first soups after coming off clears (at 2 weeks). It was delicious and easy to get down.

Junior Guru, I would be hurt too, because it's just downright mean. Just know it's okay to feel the hurt, and then realize your joy and success does not depend on these people. You were feeling good before they spoke because you have lost 30 pounds in about 6 weeks!!! Be thrilled - not just because of what you've lost, but because you are going to continue to lose! This family may never affirm you. There's some unhappiness in that family and it's seeping out onto you. Be encouraged - everyone here is rooting for you!

82 pounds!!! Woohoo!!! Your smile in the picture says it all! Congratulations!

When in doubt, call your surgeon. It is only you surgeon who can give you peace of mind in these situations.

I was told the internal incision should be fully healed at 6 weeks.

Thick soups - lentil, Applebee's chili...
