knbothwell got a reaction from Circlesis in VGS on August 5th- EVERYTHING I eat makes me sickI have had both of my tubes removed. I am unable to get pregnant. -
Contact your medical team. It may be something simple like a stomach bug but because of our surgeries you have to get this checked out.
Good luck & I hope they find a cause & a solution quickly.

knbothwell reacted to Whittles1970 in First Plateau?I just had my surgery on the 24 of the month. I am very sore but pain is getting better. I have already started walking my mile on treadmill at a slower rate than before. I am just having a hard time consuming all the liquid in time frame at this point. I get full way too fast, can’t get all the 2 oz of broth down. Other than that feeling good. Get ready to start next diet phase.

knbothwell reacted to Hop_Scotch in First Plateau?You are doing great so far. Its not a plateau more likely a brief stall, and it won't likely be your last stall. It is very normal, there are no tricks other than keep sticking to your post op guidelines provided by your surgeon or dietician. Your weight loss will kick in again soon.

knbothwell reacted to joleza in First Plateau?Oh my gosh I just got on here to post the exact same thing I am now 8 weeks out and have lost 22 pounds. But for the last 10 days I've been at 22 pounds. while my diet has not been absolutely perfect I'm averaging between 509 and 800 calories a day, how is it even physically possible that I am not losing weight my gosh if this is a plateau and I finally get over it I'm going to drop 10 pounds overnight hahaha.

knbothwell reacted to Hop_Scotch in First Plateau?I think you need to set yourself some realistic expectations, you've started off at a fairly low weight compared to many. You are doing great so far. Because of your lower start weight your weight losses are likely to be lower and slower than most from now on. Stalls are normal even with weight loss surgery.

knbothwell reacted to catwoman7 in First Plateau?almost all of us experience our first major stall within the first 4-6 weeks after surgery. We call it "the three week stall" because it's usually the third week, but not always. Mine was weeks 2 & 3 - it broke during week 4, and I dropped like 6-8 lbs within a couple of days
we get a question on this early stall at least a couple of times a week, and if you do a search on "three week stall" on this site, you will see over 17,000 posts on it (and no, I am NOT kidding). It happens to almost everyone. And just so you know, you'll experience occasional stalls throughout your journey - it's a normal part of weight loss. Just stick to your program and stay off the scale for a week or two if you need to, and know that it WILL break. They usually last anywhere from 1-3 weeks...

knbothwell got a reaction from Lily66 in New here :)I just found this app and it seems like so much help already! I had my surgery 8/5/2020 so tomorrow marks 1 week post op! Is anyone else having any issues getting all your liquids in for the day? I think that’s what I’m struggling with the most at this point.
