Congratulations losing 48 pounds in six weeks-that is great! As to the stall, I had the exact same issue. It is to be expected, I was warned about it by my doctor. I thought I was prepared, but when I didn't lose for over two weeks it really did mess with my head. I think I am out of it now, but I did extend my exercise a bit, drank more Water and tried to make sure I was eating very healthy. The stall between 3-8 (mine hit at 7.5 weeks) weeks is expected and normal, and you will have more stalls. I get it; I really do. I felt the same way you feel and was so frustrated about losing/gaining the same pound for 18 days. Measure yourself as one person suggested and just remember that it will pass. It is so frustrating, but hang in there. You can do this!

I had surgery Friday also. Everything went well, but I have this pain in my shoulder/neck. I am far enough out that I do not think it is gas pain. Has anyone else had this kind of pain? I am guessing it might be from how I was laying on the operating table. I feel pretty good. I am not having trouble getting Water or Protein Shakes down (though I definitely need to drink more as it is slow going). I haven't had to nap today at all. The first two days were a bit rough as I am pretty sensitive to anesthesia and the medications are too much for me. Now that it is over, I am doing okay.

Good luck with your recovery. I have surgery Friday.

Kendrajones. Thank you for sharing! I think the one thing I am worried about is how I will feel after surgery. I am glad to hear you did so well. I've had a hysterectomy and a c-section (not in that order, haha) and did fine. So I am sure. Just remember to be careful. When you feel okay you can overdo it. How are you with drinking? Are you hungry (some people say they are and some say hey are not)? Good luck and keep us posted.

Same here (Oct 16)!! Also bypass. Midway through the pre-op diet, kinda an emotional rollercoaster ride the first few days but doing well now. Best wishes to you (and all) on a successful start to a new life!

Hi! I’m scheduled for 27th October. Not started my pre op diet yet. Great to feel like I’m not alone. Wishing you all the best of luck :)

Good luck everyone. We are all getting close to our surgery dates!

I start my pre-op diet on October 13; does anyone else start that day or close to it?

I agree. It is exciting but scary.

October 9th for me!

I just started my pre-op diet today. I'm very fortunate and feeling very thankful that in addition to liquids, I get to eat 7 ounces of Protein a day. Two weeks to go until my surgery.
