Awesome! I couldn’t find anyone near my surgery date until now 😁.

hows everything going for you? Weight loss? Weight gain?

So far, just stalled. I was 263 at surgery. Got down to 240 on November 1st. For the past 9 days I've just been at 240.8 or 240.6 or 240.4, 240.0 etc. How about yourself?

This also appears to have happened with me. I lost 33 lbs after the first week and during my 6 week post surgical visit I hadn’t lost anymore. I also posted on this. The doctor just asked me if I was snacking. Which again I’m eating way less then what I used to eat so that answer was no. I’m pretty much sticking to the routine. Water intake has been a bit challenging for me too. I’m making an effort to drink drink drink. I’m told that Water, tea, ices, all sugar free beverages, and Soup all count as Fluid intake.

good luck.

you're practically my surgery sister, I was 9/28

It's nice to know that it's not only me. I am tracking my calories and eating around the same amount as you and walking daily. My surgeon said I am able to start doing strength training tomorrow, so I plan to start doing that too. The thing I have the biggest issue with is my Water intake. I was bad with getting in enough Water before surgery as well, so it's a work in progress. I hope we both start losing lots again soon! 💗

Water is the big one for me too! Good luck girlie! I hope we get some progress soon

I have had the same issue. I lost 20 pounds in the first week after surgery, then after that I was just gaining and losing the same 5 pounds...then 3 pounds and now I'm just stalled. 24 pounds down for month 1. I am just now entering my second month and I log everything I eat and drink. I usually net about 400-600 cals a day. I started just walking a mile or 2 after dinner and it seemed to help, also I was not drinking enough Water, so I've been making it a point to just keep a 40 oz bottle on hand and sip all day, and refill once more and sip all evening.

I've been in this gain/loss/stall since Oct. 5th actually. But the inches are definitely coming off! Log everything, and eventually it will break the stall I think! I'm telling myself that everyday at least.

I am using Dr. Malladi at Dallas Methodist. https://www.drmalladi.com/ Her staff have been great and my surgery is in 2 weeks. I started with her May 28th
