For what I hear most people go thru stalls, I have not had my surgery yet but I have read a lot and it seems to be a common occurrence. Don't give up, make sure you are eating enough calories (proteins and the like, I heard of people who whe they upped their intake they actually began loosing again). Enjoy your journey, and hopefully you can tell me the same when I am the one batteling with a stall LOL.

may i tell you something? in the beginning i was doing so excellently, then 1 year came around and boom, i hit a stall which lasts 7 months! yup you heard right, 7 months. . . it was terrible and heartbreaking. . . then out of the blue one day i started moving again, but only for 10 more lbs. . . now at 3 years out i am maintaining between 200 - 215lbs. . i feel good, look good, and got to my doctors goal. . . i would have loved to get to 170 lbs, but i don't even remember weighing that as a teen or young girl. . . so for me that must have been an "unreasonable" goal. . . but i'm happy with my 150 lb loss and that i've been maintaining without any problems. . . be patient, it'll stop soon. . . good luck!

I agree with Lbeauty. Just hang in there make sure you are drinking enough fluids, Protein and walking. It will start back up again.

The last 2 months I have gone up and down 2 or 3 lbs until the week of my period and then I drop 5 lbs or so. I am wondering if this will be my pattern. Admittedly I expected my weight loss to be much faster and I have had moments where I feared it wasn't working, but I am eating well and getting my fluids in so I just have to continue to be patient.

This topic is a regular one on the board and that is how I know that most everyone struggles with stalling to some extent and that I am not alone. Neither are you. Hang in there!

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
