Wow 3 weeks already! Don't be too hard on yourself. I hear stalks are common. I had my consultation last week with Bolanowski. She scheduled me for Jan 23rd so I'll be joining you guys pretty soon.

Well everyone today is 3 weeks since RNY...and I'm only down 11 lbs since surgery...27 altogether. So not horrible but I'm definitely losing way slow!! It's kind of a bummer some days...how is everyone else doing lately?

I have had regular stalls for 2 -4 weeks right from the start but it seems that just as I am losing hope I will drop 5 or 6 pounds overnight. I often wonder where it went so suddenly lol. So now I have accepted that I will lose a big lump then not change at all for a few weeks.
Give it time and learn how YOUR new body is going to react .. remember that you are different from everyone else who has traveled this path and your journey will be different from anyone else's. Take comfort in the fact that by 6 months you should be able to see significant progress ... and don't panic unless you see the scales moving dramatically in the wrong direction.

I understand you're upset. I would be furious. This isn't the end though. You are still here, so unless today is your last day on earth, don't give up! You are worthy of this and you are worthy of doing this for yourself. You will get your surgery, dust yourself off and keep going, because you are definitely worth it.

I was also sleeved on 11/7, lost 15 lbs the first week, then just a few lbs the following week. I have been at a stall and fluctuating between 2 lbs for the past 3 weeks. It's very frustrating, but I am quickly realizing that I'm not the only one this happens to (thanks to this app!). Good luck to you! Sent from my VS985 4G using the BariatricPal App

You should watch dr. Weiners video on this on youtube. Basically he explains that weight loss in year 1 is largely determined by genetics...so it is not productive to compare yourself to others. After all we all know someone who eats macdonalds all day long and complains they cant gain weight and are stuck at 100lbs. As long as you develop good habits now you will be successful after that 1 year mark.
I'll have you know that you are losing way faster than I did and there are people who are losing at slower rates than me. In no definition of the word is 5lbs a week considered slow. I would consider that absurdly fast and do cartwheels if that was my rate of weight loss. I'm curious how quickly you've lost on diets before that you are disappointed at a 5 lb per week average loss Post-op.

I was sleeved 11/7. Lost 20 lbs the first two weeks, but I'm now 5 weeks out and haven't lost anything else. I do know that everyone loses at a different pace, so I'm not worried. Don't let it worry you. Stalls and plateaus are normal!

Well hello all! I survived!! Surgery was on 11/29 and I'm 4 days post op! I woke up this morning feeling about 80%! Still have a drain tube and walking pretty slow but I can lay down and on my sides. And my back pain finally went away! Can't wait for Tuesday I get to have oatmeal and mashed potatoes! Lol

You had WLS you are going to lose weight that's guaranteed. While you are waiting, are you getting in your Water and Protein count, looking for receipts for purée and solid food stage and walking. Try to get your mind off losing pounds because you are GUARANTEED to lose the weight. We are all different this is your weight loss journey not your co workers. So come on their is a lot to do on the journeeeyyy. Be encouraged your life began again on November 29th. Wishing you the best. @ krystalb4rny

You will lose!! Keep going and don't let this get you down!

Omg I meet with my surgeon on Thursday for my preop appointment!! I am nervous yet excited. It just so happens they scheduled me with the same surgeon my next door neighbor had her surgery with. She went in for her preop and he liked what her charts said and how much weight she had lost and scheduled her for surgery the very next day! What!!! Although I wouldn't mind the same quickness, I am hoping for the week right after Christmas. Whatever he has, I will take it!!

It's weird I'm 1 week post op and I feel full when I eat but nothing has bothered my pouch...had potatoes and cheese at 4 days and a chicharone and had Beans and guacamole and sour cream tonight for dinner. I've had no nausea or pain. I kinda feel like something is wrong because I'm not having any issues I see everyone complaining about.

You're going to be okay. I know what you're going through. People are going to be very hard on you...might even make u feel bad but do not listen to them. We're human and make mistakes. Pm me if u need support. I ate thanksgiving solids 6 days after surgery and I was fine buddy. Please pm me if u feel like you're up against the wall and have no one to turn to.

Yes super congrats to you! Glad to hear everything went well. I have my last class this Thursday so surgery will likely be at the end of Jan. In the meantime I look forward to hearing how well things are going.

So happy for you! Yet nervous as well. Good luck on your surgery today. You will certainly be in my prayers. Please keep us updated on your progress!

No I got added to my husbands insurance so with a secondary insurance I won't have to pay anything out of pocket before surgery.

Wow! You guys are having surgery the same day. Congrats to you both!
Krystal did something change with your payment? I was told from Kaiser my deductible and out of pocket max in 2017 would now apply so if it holds true the most I will have to pay is $1500. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I am with Kaiser to in Denver Colorado and I meet up with the surgeon on Tuesday at 11am. Just finished my six weeks class last Tuesday and they called me back on that Thursday. I am excited about it and wonder what all we are going to talk about when I get there. I am ready to start the liver strinking diet I have already been in the gym working out
