so i havent lost anything since monday..only 10 days post op...so im thinking maybe i need to get in a few more calories if possible...i go and have some egg drop soup...and it comes back up...seriously...am I only meant to shed 20lbs? am I destined to be fat the rest of my life?

Just give it time. I had so many stalls but I am 8 months out and lost around 80lbs.... Trust me you are in a stall.... Just keep working your doing good.

As the fabulous people in my support group have told me over and over... Focus on hydration and not calories.. The weight is going to come off!!! You are still very early out... don't stress... sip, sip, sip!!!!!

Whether dieting or - in your case - a post-vsg stall, we all know the frustration when the scale doesn;t agree with our efforts. We just have to remember that the key to weight loss is mathematical and proportionate to the number of calories taken in as opposed to the number of calories burned. Even if the scale doesn;t agree from time to time, you ARE losing weight as long as your calorie intake is as low as it shoud be following surgery. Keep the faith, the stall is a common event and one of the most common comments on the forum.

I know that I didn't put the weight on over night...I guess I just thought that I would see more progress at this point.

Rome wasn't built in one day either. . . have patience, this works. . . I was on a stall after my 1st year which last 7 months. . . i didn't panic or get upset, i was like "whatever" . . this is a great tool and it works very well. . . so be patient and just do what your doing and one more thing "get rid of that scale" those things LOVE to sabatoge everything. . . only weigh once every 2 to 3 weeks. . . or even once a month. . .you'll be very pleased with the results. . . good luck
