    Oh yeah. Same place here. Surgery on the 24th. Actually gained half a pound right at the beginning of week 3. Not worried, supposed to be normal Water gain as the body restores glycogen that it burnt through when we started very-low-calorie living.

    I started pureed yesterday. lunch was tuna salad. It set well. dinner, I pureed the taco meat, cheese, salsa and sour cream from the family's dinner. That didn't do so well. Didn't like the texture and it felt like a rock in my gut.

    All we can do is one day at a time. Keep on.

    Well I vomited first time this week then 2 more times different days. It was fat free Cottege cheese once and can’t remember the other but I learned that even a couple tablespoons can make you vomit if it’s too much for your tummy and it says noooo more so stop half way before feeling your done eating is the trick for me.

    yesterday I was hungry for some reason a few times during the day so bites here and there and that worked.

    the scale started to move ounces down at a time each day again. I’m happy with my progress going down now. Feel like I could be further ahead with the stages but week four and still feel like I should only eat puréed. Tummy hates me. Bored with ninja. Send help. SOS. LOL

    I have read a lot of stalls between weeks 2 and 4. I watched a video that talked about the three week stall. The doctor explained at first we are losing a lot of Water weight. Then as we get fluids we gain Fluid but is losing pounds. So it does not show we really are losing. If you do measurements you can see that you lost inches during this time. If you will google the 3 week stall with weight loss surgery or sleeve .... you can fine a lot of videos from different doctors. I am in a stall going on 10 days. I have heard people talking about long stalls but started losing faster. If your exercising you might gain muscle but losing fat. I belong to several gastic sleeve support groups ob face book and learned alot.

    That makes perfect sense! The way you put it lose gain drop !!

    I definitely feel restriction. I can't eat chicken even pureed. It's just easier to eat soft or pureed food. I did over eat on chicken and it was painful. I had to throw that up. Lesson learned. I try to remember to stop eating before I am full. It takes a bit for your brain to catch up to your stomach. I have always been a fast eater. So learning to slow down has been an issue.

    So two things - one - does anyone know if this is normal to stop losing beginning of week 3 and actually went up .4 ??
    two - chicken- I tried pulverized chicken breast with a bit of fat free mayo yesterday my left side of tummy gut hurts yesterday and this morning. I feel like as soon as I introduced something other than liquid I am getting constipated also. I think back to Soups for a couple days. Very discouraging set back but I’ll keep on keepin on.

    I just had my surgery on the 26th, so I’m fresh off the table lol it’s been a struggle remembering to sip my liquids and get some walking in. Especially because I felt so tired and lethargic after the first couple of days. I feel a little more energized now though! Good luck to everyone else.

    How are you doing?

    I did my measurements and found I lost an inch in my waist, hips and chest each. I am doing what I suppose to but have not lost weight in the last 12 days. I am 24 days po. I have lost 14lb since day 3 po. The scales are driving me crazy. I want to numbers move so bad just for some encouragement. I hear from. So many that their weight lost started to pick up after a long stall.

    Patience is not easy is it? Guess one day at a time !

    Update on my progress. Surgery was May 13. I lost a pound per day the first week, then stalled for 2 weeks. Finally loosing again! Down 26lbs so far, including pre-op diet. Have been working out 5 days per week on elliptical and on regular food now as of Friday. Struggling to get my 60 oz of Water in, but started using my timer yesterday to remind me to sip something every 15 minutes except before and after meals. I have only had nausea once and have only vomited once - both times caused by drinking too close to meals.

    Overall, this has been a much better experience than I anticipated since I am 62 yrs old. Surgeon says I'm doing great! I only took 3 days off work, and then worked from home for 2 weeks (desk job).

    Any chance you experienced similar to me? My surgery was 23rd of May only lost 9 and it’s The 6th of June. It is coming off literally in 2 oz or nothing at a time. With less than 500 cal a day not sure I understand that. Getting Water and Protein in. Doing everything doc said. ? Puzzled. I lost 9 from the 4th to the 23rd on the 1200 cal and bike and walking.

    Good luck tomorrow! I'll see you on the other side of this! I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am tomorrow! Getting VERY nervous! Also hoping I've shrunk my liver enough. scale has hardly moved this week even though I haven't cheated at all! Hoping its just muscle gain since I've been going to the gym all week.

    Hey there! I wish you all the luck! Mine is 24th and I am doing my best to lose some before the date. You are 5'4, I am 5'3, gonna be exciting!!
