  15. The 2 pounds can be fluid. Next the scale is your enemy. Go by your clothes sizes. Are you still dropping clothes sizes ? If so you are still loosing. Next drink all the water you can. Change eating habits for a day or two so your body won't be use to the same amount of calories. The stall will stop. I hit a stall and stayed there 4 weeks. You can search on here and there is alot of info on the dreaded stall. You will start back losing pounds.
  16. I am also in the Alexandria area. Maybe we could meet some time. If you are interested I would love to have a walking partner at the compton park sometimes.
  17. the Dr told me 6 weeks for swelling to go down, but mine is still swollen some
  18. colace and miralax helps also. I find if you put miralax in something warm to drink it works better
  19. I am also cold alot. I sleep under electric blanket. Hubby thinks I am crazy. He has never seen me cold like this.
  20. walking. brisk walking helps. The more steps you walk the more it will help.
  21. you will get past it. I hit the stall at 2 weeks post op and stayed on the stall for 4 weeks. It will get better. Just remember the scale can be your enemy. I kept dropping clothes sizes and inches, but not pounds. Now I am losing pounds again. It will change. Hang in there.
