I had my surgery 4 days before you and have had a couple of plateaus. I think it is normal. I need to start exercising and I know that will help. Try not to compare yourself to others! EVERYONE is different.

Welcome!

hey mrshull!

i was the day after you and have had struggles, as well. Thankfully not a complication just some struggles with eating. currently having the bathroom issue as well but hopefully that will "all come out ok." haha... take care and welcome to VST!

Mrshull, hang in there. Seems like it's pretty typical for stalls and for us to get discouraged regarding them, but it is only temporary. Keep reading the message board and you will see that many of us went through the same things. It's hard to not get discouraged. Keep on doing what you are suppose to do and the lbs will fall off.

I had and still have problems with going to the bathroom. Someone mentioned miralax in another thread and it has definitely helped me alot. Best wishes to you on your journey.

My doc told me to sip on milk of magnesia a couple of times a day.
