I had a 3 weeks stall at 2 weeks! I was so bummed but boy did the inches fall off at that time. The scale may not be moving but your still losing. Hang in there. I'm almost 3 months out and I've stalled 3x!!! I had RNY in April and have lost 44 pounds. Slow loser but that's perfectly fine with me. Take measurements. You'll be surprised

You look so good!

The left picture is the past summer and the right is this summer. I had RNY April 26,2016 and am down 44 pounds. I feel amazing. Would still like to lose 25 more.

Yayyyyy!!!! Good for you!

Don't ya hate it! It is so frustrating. Hopefully we both stop soon!

I'm from Pittsburgh Pa

My surgery was April 25th. I have my one month post-op appointment tommorrow.

Mine was the 26th and my one month follow up is Friday! Good luck to you! How have you been doing?

I so know all about that stall! I had one for almost 2 weeks! I was starting to get pretty disappointed but then I lost a pound and now I'm doing ok. I'm a slow loser. It's 4 weeks today and I'm only down 20 but that's ok. I'd rather be slow than quick anyways. Just those stalls really suck! Where are you from?

@catjackson89 checking in to see how your doing. It's been 2-1/2 weeks. Hope your doing well!!!

What part of PA?

My surgery is tomorrow @8am. I am so nervous and my family is still trying to discourage me. I am so scared.

I am so so sorry this is happening to you! If this is what you want then you do it! This is your life and your body. I had my surgery and don't have a lot to lose and still had it cause I know this is what was best for me! Everyone else will fall into place and if they can't handle it then they don't respect you enough.

I wish you the best of luck and I hope you have a wonderful experience and are so happy your making this decision. I'm here for you anytime you need me! You got me on fb. You msg me anytime. I'll be thinking of you sweetie!????????

I am justxseeingvthis now. Sorry. Haven't been on much at all. Thank you so so so much! My surgery went well and I'm healing nicely. Slot of trapped gas still but all in all I'm doing well! Thank you again for thinking of me!????????

Buy GENEPRO also. I put that into everything! 30g per scoop and the scoop is small! Doesn't change the taste or thickness. Nothing. Just adds protein! Wala!

The cream of mushroom sounds good. Maybe it was the milk. I've heard we can become lactose intolerant after this. I'm hoping not. Maybe you just weren't ready for it. Wait a couple days and try again. Maybe not as much. 1/4 cup this time and wait.

I still have trapped gas. It's like will it ever end! I finally went to the bathroom today and that helped at the time but I feel no different now. I'm back to being crampy and gassy. I too use the gas strips and also the chewy tabs. Not working yet.

So you understand the herniated feeling. It's horrible. I have 7 just in my lower back! I'm always in pain. Yes I am hoping big time that taking the weight off will help all of this including my fractured foot as well! Fingers crossed.

I started seeing my doctor in October. I didn't lose much but like 6 pounds. But good I didn't gain! They put me through so many tests! I stated off at 201 and am now down to 185. I was 191 presurgical. I'm already losing plus I lost what I gained in there. I'd like to get to around 135. I'm only 5' and all of my weight is in my lower half so my ass is huge and so are my legs!

So you were done the day before me! So we're on the same timing so to speak. Luckily my tastebuds at this point have only down me things taste sweeter. Everything is so sweet ???? Have you bought the Isopure flavorless powder to add to things? That's really helped me. I got it off Amazon. If not, give it a try!

I still have a lot of gas trapped also and still haven't went together bathroom. It's been 6 days???? But I've always been very constipated cause I'm on meds all the time for 7 herniated discs in my lower back and my neck so my system is always a mess. This will just make it a total disaster. Looking forward go feeling emptied tho that's for sure! Glad it's helped you and your feeling better now! That makes a world of difference!

So glad to talk to you again. What area are you from? I made a secret site on fb for my local area. How much would you like to lose?

I need to walk more also. I gotta get this has gone! I'm taking gasx drinking Smooth Move tea all these liquids and still nothin! ????

Your too sweet. Yes I feel better each day. Getting a lot of liquids in is so difficult. I'm trying to get the hang of it myself too! We had surgery on the same day. You had RNY right?

Right now I feel very cramped from drinking too much and I'm still not up to the 64oz! I got almost 90oz of Protein in by adding powder to tea and broth. That helps. I'm so worried my hair is going to fall out!!!!

Does your back hurt from laying around so much? Mine sure does. What are your stats? I'm 5' and before surgery I got down to 187. I was 200 when this all started.

Congrats on all who had their surgeries this past week like I did! Mine was the 26th I'm 4 days out now and wow do I have a back ache. First couple days of laying around so much did me in! Surgery went well. Went home late day two.

I'm working hard on my liquids thinking I'm getting about 40oz in and 60-70g Protein so I don't think that's so bad. I'm really bad with keeping track of things. broth and Isopure yum.

Keep posting everyone!!!

Thank you everyone! I had my surgery and all went well. A lot of pain on surgery day but other than the trapped gas I can't really complain about much. Yesterday my back started hurting from laying around so much. Wow is it sore! I keep having nightmares each time I doze off which is really hard to deal with. I cut back a little on the pain meds so I didn't fall asleep today during the day. One less dream is good! Hope that ends soon!

Yes I really feel this is the best decision for most people! I trust it.

I greatly appreciate your advice and guidance for me! Your really awesome.

Wow that's amazing!!! Way to go! Great work pays off doesn't it! Glad you got to get out today. It was nice. A little chilly but pretty. Does make a difference in your mindset when it's pretty outside ????

We definetly live very close to each other! Pretty cool!

For sure! Good luck!!!

Thanks so much!

Ya I also have a ton of things I want to do. I stopped after work today and got more liquid things and Jello. Busy weekend for both of us!

My hubby will be home with my 16yr old son. My daughter may come home from college for the weekend but will have to drive back on Sunday. I have a doxie that is paralyzed and requires to be manually expressed to go potty. I'm so worried about him. No one can express him completely like I can so I will be very unsettled until I can do him again myself.

Hopefully your guys make it without you fussing over them. They just may surprise you.

I am told I will be in for 2 full days. In on Tuesday and out Thursday as long as all goes well. I usually have trouble with my bp dropping way low so we shall see. I'm definitely not a good surgical candidate lol.

I live in McMurray Pa. South of Pittsburgh so we aren't too far away!????
