I havent posted here forever or bothered updating my stats. I am almost 4.5 months post op and my weight loss seems to have slowed to a barely moving pace. When did all of you start slowing down? I am down 100 lbs from a year ago and down about 70 from surgery. I keep bouncing between 210-213. I just want out of the 200s and feel like its never gonna happen!

I am 2 months and 3 days post gastric bypass. It has been a very, very, long road. Still cant eat much of anything and having alot of trouble hydrating properly. At 2 wks post op I knew something wasn't right. After numerous calls, complaints and nagging, I got an egd scheduled. Turned out I had a stricture and ulcers. I had my 3rd egd yesterday and am finally cleared (with 3 meds) to begin to try "anything I think I can tolerate" I havent been able to tolerate anything but homemade broth and some ph Water for the most part. Hoping this is the end of the procedures and beginning of the good part. On a positive note, I'm down over 70 lbs.

I havent been on a PC to update and todays my first day on in about 2 mos. I am 232.4 as of yesterday

I still have issues with Water. In order to stay hydrated I did hot peppermint tea and I do ph water. It has to be room temperature or slightly warmer for me to tolerate it.

I seem to be losing from the boobs up and butt down only. I look like humpty dumpty kinda. Belly isnt budging!

Thank you ChrisB, facing my third EDJ November 9th for same reasons, almost as long for me, I think 8 weeks today. This reducing mama on infant style diet, nutritionist says I haven't hurt myself yet, yeah but emotionally puffy. Nuked a sweet,potato last might, took out the pulp and stirred into sk8m milk, added scoop of GENEPRO, yeah not highest quality but you do what you can. Made it like a cream Soup. Ate my iddy bitty 1/4 cup , sat in chair fight my pouch until she stopped trying to puke it up. Then in a couple hours I felt like I could lie down, maybe sleep. This is NOT the journey I booked for!

@FluffyChix Thank you very much!

Glad you're progressing! Sorry you've had such a rough go! But congrats on 70lbs lost!!! Woot!

@Luzbella Thank you for the kind words and advice. I appreciate it. Congrats on your success adjusting and your loss so far as well! Cant wait till I get to that point!

Wow, I'm so sorry to see you are having such a difficult time. My RNY was 07/30/18 and I am now 64 lbs down. It truly is a had process and one we deal with of our health's sake. The first 2 months were the worst for me. I feel like I am now dealing better with all the adjustments we have to make in our lives and eating habits. I do trow up about once or twice a week still, but it depends on different things. Am I listening to my body's hints that I am full, like hiccups and sneeze... Yes, for me, those are my key hints that I am full. Am I eating something new today? I try to focus on eating small meals 5-6 times a day. That way I now I have eaten all of the Protein I need. On bad days I do not go to sleep until I have downed a bottle of Isopure Water which has 40 gram of protein! Stay firm. Stay active. Stay focused. It does get better. Congrats of the 70 lbs!

I get not PUSHING beliefs on others, but i dont feel any of your posts have ever done this. There are people talking about being vegan after surgery, just because I am not vegan doesnt mean i cant read or need to be offended that they are different. Whats going to happen if a non Christian reads your post? Will it burn holes through their retinas, no! I feel that whether i share it or not, if someone is using their beliefs in a positive way, there is no harm done. This world needs as much POSITIVITY as it can get! I welcome, thoughts, vibes, prayers to whatever god u believe in, because the fact that you took a minute of YOUR day to do something positive for me is very thoughtful. Just my opinion......

I like Kraft fat free Catalina

Is it food related?
Or could it be tonsil stones? My daughter gets them and I have to remove them...

I had something similar. It felt like something (I described it as a piece of flesh) hanging in my throat. The doctors checked and said nothing was there, but I felt it. Four months later, it's finally gone.

I dont have a date yet, but my last appointment is July 16th. I am thinking that i should definitely be in Aug. Are you part of the summer 2018 surgeries group? If not, check it out. There are alot of people in it and one member even compiled a list of everyones surgery date so you can find someone the same date as you.

I am 42 just had mine 9 days ago. I have always been overweight and thought I could eventually lose it on my own. Then, about a year and a half to 2 yrs ago my thyroid went wacky and I piled on approx. another 75 lbs. and knew I had to do something.

Now now, let’s think through this...
1. You are eating now, have you had a BM? Sometimes you can get backed up.
2. Have you increased Sodium? Could be Water.
3. Is it around your cycle time? Could bevwater?
4. Did you have something with high carb or sugar? Could be your liver swelling with glycogen.

5. Have you been taking in your water? Could be retention.
6. Are your scales right? Could they be off?

Unless you have somehow managed to eat 7000 cals above what you spent, it’s can’t be fat. I know it’s easier heard than believed, but that’s a fact. Hang in there and stick to your plan and they should roll off soon.

Thank you all. I'm not going to get overly concerned because I am getting Fluid in my shakes and through popsicles etc. I will keep trying different things and if that doesnt work, try a thickening agent. I appreciate everyones help, thanks!
