Susie, may I bother you please? I am just over 4 weeks out, I drink 8 cups Water, 2 Protein Shakes (made w/ 1 cup skim milk each and eat 2 1/4 cups of Protein twice a day. I really can't eat anymore. Is that reasonable?

I was two weeks out and hit a stall for exactly 31 days. Very frustrating! It broke 6 days ago and I have been losing a pound a day. I'm so enjoying this and hope it lasts as long as the stall did. I went from a size 20-22 on surgery date to a size 16 in two months. I love it!

Wow that's a long stall. Today I am 11 days postop and have maybe lost 1 1/2 pounds. I have stared at the scale so many times I'm confused. Did your dr explain the long stall? So happy you're seeing some movement. :)

I talked to my nutritionist about it. She said it was normal and not to worry. People stall anywhere from 3days to 3months.

WOW! I am sooo relieved to know that I'm not the only one who has stalled. I thought someone was playing a little dirty joke on me after all the work with the pre-op/post op.

I'm 4 wks out and I'm doing all the right things, but I've stalled since 2 weeks ago. Energy is still a problem too, but that's actually getting a bit better. I just could not understand why I wasn't losing if I know I'm eating next to nothing every day.

Hopefully, we will all start losing again and then we can all do the happy dance. :P

I will be 9 weeks postop tomorrow and have already had 2 stalls. My second one ended over the weekend. The good thing is I've still lost 47 pounds.

Ive been hovering for 2 weeks at 406. I'm 8 weeks tomorrow. I got a depo lupron shot 2 weeks ago and I think that may be the culprit *sigh* In the meantime I'm doing Zumba 3x a week, limiting my carbs (which I was never instructed to do, but picked up from here), trying to drink more Water and waiting on a miracle lol.

Update...

My stall broke yesterday... My scale went down one pound. YEAH! Hopefully this will continue beyond the one pound.

I saw my doc for my 1 month post-op and told him what happened. He said this is totally normal. Of course it's really not very reassuring when your goal is to drop the pounds. But he said this will happen from time to time, and even if you are not losing 'weight', you are probably losing 'inches'. As long as you are on track with your progress, the weight WILL come off.

Anyway, he said Water, Water, water... and the subliminal jab at the forever in the back of your mind... 'EXCERCISE'. This is not so easy as it seems. Especially if you have physical challenges to begin with. My physical efforts have been reallllllly slow at getting up the enthusiasm. My spine specialist is waiting until my second month post-op to put me in a PT regemine. I'm sure at that time things will pick up.

Til then, walking in the water is my form of excercise.

I'm stalled AGAIN. I hit 25 lbs down on July 29th, and then gained a pound, stayed there for many days, and lost it again, so basically I haven't lost any weight since July 29th. And my surgery was just on July 11th. I am getting about 500-750 calories a day AND working out 4x a week. I am not getting all my Water in, but I should still be losing. This is so frusterating. No wonder I quit at so many diets before the surgery, hit a stall, and feel hopeless, then give up. Glad I can't give up now!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
