three-week stall for sure. Happens to probably 90% of us. Just stick to your program and stay off the scale for a few days. It'll eventually break (usually takes 1-3 weeks) and you'll be on your merry way again...

I’m like what the hell just happen - on the day of my surgery The weight was 330 and now 289 which is not bad - I am 6’2 and my healthy weight is about 200 putting me at 130 pounds of excess weight and I’ve lost 41 pounds post op which is about 31% from that excess weight. But for the past week now matter what I do I think I hit a plateau 😤😤😤😤😤 stuck a 289. Is frustrating at the least but I know is a long love journey. I keep my food diary and basically I am doing Keto. Better get back to the drawing board and speak to my nutrition team. Anyone else has experience this post op in the initial stages????

@NovaLuna btw awesome pic and aka. This is why I love this forum. My wife was the the 1st to have her bypass done and she did stalled but it was like 7 months postop and yes it was disheartening and now I learned that there is a thing call the 3 week thingy 🤣🤣 I’ve learned. So grateful to be in this forum and thank you for sharing you story is brings hope and relief. Is part of my journey. God bless, happy holidays and I will keep posting my progress.

Yes 🙌 setting a timer ⏱ for 3:30 after each bite. I feel much better today. Not sure but my pain went away like magic. All I have now is more of sore muscles in my abdomen section. Other that still learning the since last of being full. Thank you for sharing and your advice. How are you doing postop????

I have finally started stage 3 omg 😱 how delicious 🤤 2 ounces of sous vide chicken thighs with 1 once garlic sautéed mash potatoes it nearly took an hour but how delicious 😋.

anyone else is just started there 3 stage of soft food? ??

Love this thread! I'm getting excited for my procedure in January I cannot wait. My stomach is sick to death from overeating. I had been doing so great on my diet this summer and now that I'm closer to my date - all I want to do is "eat all the junk that I won't be able to eat later on". Stupid logic.

Wishing you all the best with your appointment tomorrow!!

How did they know is was a popped stitch??? Did you get some kind of study done to determine it was exactly that? Just curious, and also very happy it has been resolved.

Than you

Hi everyone ! Just so happy bc I’m in ONEderland! Yay! I’m so grateful that I was approved for this surgery. I had posted my date was 10/19, since then I lost 31 lbs. No regrets, should have done this sooner! Only new challenge is learning to eat verrrry slowly since I started soft foods. Love this site, I’ve learned so much from you all! 😊

📿 praying for you!

Day 10
A couple things have changed since my last update.
I have a superficial thrombophlebitis in my arm above where my IV was. I did notice a couple days after being home that my upper arm was a bit sore and tender, mostly when I was using the arm. But then I noticed it was a little bit pink. Only then did I think “oh this could be a blood clot”. Now this isn’t a deep vein thrombosis, but really the only way to know is through ultrasound, and since i wasn’t willing to risk a PE, I went to the ER. No treatment, just warm compress.
The other thing that has developed is that my diaphragm feels really sensitive/tender. Kinda like when you get bumped (or hit) in you belly. So I feel slightly nauseous. Even my bra resting on the diaphragm area is irritating.
My muscles definitely feel weak.
I’ve mostly been surviving on Water, a couple ounces Greek yogurt, sugar free Jello, and sugar free pudding. I’m going to try another Protein Shake today. My dietitian said to basically stay hydrated and take my Vitamins.
I’m doing normal daily things, taking my kid to the playground (though i’m not playing), driving, Grocery shopping, and house work.
one more day until purées! Wahoo!

I had Nasir trauma surgery in 2013 car accident I'm getting bypass 11/30. I will be having 2 Hernias removed as well. A binder has already been discussed by my doctor due to my individual case. It doesn't hurt to ask.

I was hoping that my tastes would change after surgery, but they really did not, with the exception of french fries/fried potatoes (tried two different types out of curiosity and they just tasted mealy and gross). I enjoy the Protein Shakes and artificially sweetened yogurt. I haven't had any real sweets yet, so I guess I'm hoping to break up with those. I'm at my parents' house right now and there are some other guests so my mom bought my favorite cake from the fancy French bakery and I didn't try it. I am afraid that I will like it and I won't stop eating sweets. Also, I had a bit of fear of dumping, even though I had the sleeve. I ate a light and fit greek yogurt watching them eat the cake... it was a little sad.

I’m feeling great. Finally getting all my Water in. I’m looking for stuff to eat that’s not crazy in calories. 600 calories a day goes super quick. I cannot drink another shake.

Mine was 10/20/21

Thanks all, just looking for some peace, I can’t stand to see her hurting, but you are right, she is doing a little better each day. She is really missing eating right now. Told me this morning that she would kill for an omelet, lol.

Check-in everyone. How is everyone feeling today??? I am in my 8th day post-operative RNY and Hiatal Hernia repair. I feel as if I had done 100000000...abdominal crunches 😂😂 So I took a morning ride in my car 🚘 nope not recommend lol. Overall I am meeting my daily Fluid intake and Proteins thus far. Writing 📝 everything down. Using a timer to remind me to take fluids every 15 minutes Doing 60ml = 2 fluids oz that's a total of 8 oz an hour. This is just me. My wife was not able to keep it down so is going to be different for everyone.

The reason I am creating this thread is solely for support. I know by 1st hand how intimidating this process can be. With the mere thought of should ldl do it? I can tell you that I was not a walk in the ballpark. But I am so happy I took this decision. Today I am 5 days RNY AND hiatal hernia repair post-op. I feel fatigued, yet happy. Sore, yet excited. I can use many more adjectives. Please share and ask.

I had bypass on November 3 and it's very uncomfortable to sit down and stand up. Or to get up from laying down. I only have Tylenol which hasn't helped me much. I do have a binder but I didn't think it helped much.

Thank you @Christina J. I am 3 days post op and the abdominal pressure is really discomforting

So glad to hear that you are feeling better and being released.
