I'm pretty excited today, I'm officially half way to my goal weight (120lbs/5'2"). I'm down 50lbs (CW 170lbs) and have 50 more to go to reach my goal. The first 50 went so fast, it had been slowing down a lot, but still seeing results. My old clothes are fitting and my pains are gone. Even my Gerd went away, I was nervous that it would get worse with the surgery, but I have no more issues with acid reflux. I can finally have coffee now, but don't need it for energy anymore. It was hard adjusting to these changes at first, but I'm finally at a point where I can say this is the best decision I've ever made (or at least one of them lol).

Don't do it... it may not hurt you, but you'll get back into drinking it. It's not good for you/us.

Right?! It is the weirdest plateau because my diet is super limited still and yet im not losing weight. He better have an answer for me because everytime i look at my scars im reminded of the big decision i made. Thank you for responding.

I will be 3 months post op on 3/6. I'm in my 2nd stall. My first came at about one month snd my second at about two months, which I believe is ending now; as I lost 1lb since yesterday. So don't worry, it won't last forever. It's frustrating, but it's part of the cycle. Good luck.

The loss you're seeing now is part of a cycle that started with surgery and your initial weight loss. Those hairs went into shock and stopped growing until a few months later they fall out. But the next stage starts right away, which is those hairs start growing again in your scalp. The sucky part is you will lose new shocked hairs due to the rapid weight loss, so your  hair will be going through this cycle until your weight stabilizes. There isn't anything you are doing wrong or missing out on to stop it. Get all your  Protein and then wait it out. This too shall pass!

I'm 2.5 months out and check my weight every morning. I've been stalled for several weeks. I've lost 30 lbs so far. Hoping to start losing again soon.

I've stalled a few times, its normal. My longest so far was right at 4 months! I stayed at 171 lbs for 3 weeks. Yet, my clothes were still getting looser. hang in there...your body is just adjusting!

I was sleeved a couple weeks before you and I'm just coming out of a month long stall. I don't know what caused the stall to break, but I will say that going shopping and buying clothes in a smaller size really helped my psyche...and the day after I did that, my stall broke.
(Shopping breaks stalls!!! LOLOL)

To break my stall, I upped my calorie intake. I was actually eating ice cream and still losing weight.

My Dr let me have string cheese during my soft foods. Yummy and 6 grams of protein!

Thank you for your reply. String

Every time I got on the digital scale at my surgeon's office it was always 10-15 pounds heavier than my digital scale at home.
At my 1 month post-op I was 398 pounds on my home scale and the same day at the surgeon's office they insisted that I was 412!
They insisted their scale was right. Well, today I had my 3 month post-op appointment and I brought my digital scale from home.
My scale said I was 360. Their scale said I was 360. Then they told me they recently had their scales calibrated because they were inaccurate.
HA! I WAS RIGHT! I AM VINDICATED!!!!
I just wanted to post this and vent.
Thanks.

I am just not having them! ????
I'm a month and a half out of surgery and I've probably had a handful of small bowel movements. I know im so backed up. Ugh anyone else going through this? I'm taking stool softeners and milk of magnesia. Any more suggestions??
Sorry I know this is TMI.

I love the preimer shakes...the strawberry is a bit too sweet. Docs office said to add a bit of Water to it...ICK Opted to add either the strawberry or vanilla to a blender with ice & low fat yogart. YUMMIE! And it's cold to help with the swelling.

liquids don't fill you up like lean solid Proteins.

I've been stalled the last 3 weeks. I finally lost 2 lbs yesterday, but they came back today. Some people say they can have 50-100 grams of carbs, but I believe I cannot have hardly any, probably less than 10 g a day.

I'm 4 months out, but have been stalled since 3 months. So basically over a month sitting at the same weight. It is really quite frustrating, and honestly depressing.
I know stalls are normal but this is like the stall from hell and so early out.

Don't let it put you off! I read that stalling is something that needs to happen in order for one to lose weight! Hope all goes well

I called and asked my surgeon if i could have a drink at the superbowl party i am going to and he said i may have one drink and just know that where i may have been able to have 2 and feel fine it will now be different and stick to a small drink. I am 3.5 months post op and only 50 pounds to go to my ideal weight.
