I promise the stall won't last long!!! Walk a few extra steps, and make SURE you are getting enough protein. DO NOT deprive yourself of food to lose more. If you do, your body holds on to what it has in case no more food comes down the pike! Drink as much water as you can, up that protein! (Eat some meat if you can, taco meat, chicken salad,etc) It won't take long...in 18 weeks, I have had 2 stalls, and the support on here taught me the advice i just gave you! It works! PS: 27 pounds in 6 weeks is great: You could not have done that without this surgery!

I am going through the same thing right now and am about 6 weeks out. been at the same weight up and down a pound for a week. I think it is our bodies adjusting. I bet next week we will loose 5 pounds. It is difficult to know you are working so hard and nothing is moving. Just remember the body is strange and miraculous and sometimes a week or 2 at a stand still just means your body is taking the time it needs to do what it needs to do. As long as you are following what you are supposed to do just ride it out. 27 pounds is awesome. I wish you all the best.

Gone through it and still going through it several times over the past 7 months. 27lbs in 6 weeks in incredible. Almost 5lbs a week! Just ask yourself, "How fast was I losing weight pre-surgery?" I bet it wasn't 4lbs a week. You are going to go through stalls, we all do. It's part of the process. :-)

I'm fearful more than anything because of the unknown, I hear these stories of ppl who experience it and I'm scared! I'm 2 weeks post op on Thursday and I'm feeling so many emotions! I've never felt this vulnerable in my life! I never knew the emotional attachment I had with food till this surgery it's a bittersweet feeling. Thx guys

Thx guys I'm trying to come up with a meal plan before, I'm nervous and excited lets see how this goes.

I move all day, go for long walks with my husband and kids, it's finally day 8 and the neck pain is there but not that bad now. Good luck to all of us

I haven't had my surgery yet, but I did have 3 c-sections. It will definitely get better. :-)

This too shall pass

Ha Ha My tattoo on my rib says that it takes a while hang in there you can do this I felt like a new person in a span of 24 hours

I am right there with you. However, I am 5 days out. I'm not getting enough protein and everything I eat I poop out.

The only thing you can do for the gas is walk around. It sucks, I know! It hurts and makes it hard to breathe sometimes, but it will go away.
