I stalled after 1 week and it lasted 3 weeks. I lost 11 lbs in the first 4 weeks. I was soon upset, but then in the middle of week 4 I lost 3lbs in one day and roughly a lb a say since. By my doctors appointment at close to the week 5 mark I was down 21 lbs. You just have to wait it out. Everyone told me to through the scales out. I tell you what everyone told me. Your body is still healing and you will lose weight.

I was really surprised to see who your surgeon was. We have the same surgeon!
I have been noting all the problems others are having that I did not have including not having to sip sip sip my liquids. Dr Naik said I was the exception.
The one thing I have noticed is that I can't hardly burp. Most of the time when I feel like burping, my liquids come up instead of the air. This happens rarely though. Last night I drank my Protein shake too fast right behind a few bites of chicken and part of it came back up when I felt like I had to burp. Silly me!

I was able to get all my fluids and Protein in on the first day. I was able to drink regularly. I haven't had problems eating either. I'm on regular diet now and you can definitely feel the restrictions.

My all time heaviest was 408, I started the weight loss journey at 385. At surgery I weighted 340 and at 5 weeks out I'm 321. I too find it irksome to see people who need to lose just a little having surgery.
