Surgery on 9.28 at 225. Today's 208 and stalled for a couple days. It's hard to see stalling when our caloric intake is so low!

So true.

I'm doing ok. Stalled at about 40 lb loss in total. Was having a hard time getting food down' date=' but if I eat slowly much better. On phase 3 which is supposed to be puréed but I mainly east soft food and do ok. Don't think I'm getting enough Protein so will add some of those delicious Protein Shakes (yuck). Need to also start walking. The 40 lbs off fell great. easier to walk, clothing is looser and sleeping better.

How are you doing?[/quote']

I stalled at 40 lb loss too for over three weeks and frustrated.

Surgery 9/10. 40 pounds lost (includes 9 lost during pre-op diet). Tired of eating the same old things but I really don't enjoy cooking for just me and my fiance doesn't really care for the same things I do........

Thank you all for posting. I started at 345 and was 337 when surgery was approved. Down to 323 after 2 weeks of liquids. I lost 10 pounds my first 17 days post-op. I was walking 2 times a day 1 mile and 2 miles. On my 4 week check up I was the same---no weight loss. Soooooo discouraged. I am now walking 2 miles a day with 5 burst of slow jog ( trying to extend each day) and have noticed recovery time for breathing is getting shorter. Haven't weighed again but planning to on Monday. My doctor told me that stall was okay. It helps so much to know that I am not alone and a lot of people are stalling but keep in keeping on. I was sleeved on September 24. I just want to reach my first goal of below 300. It's a marathon not a sprint! My new mantra.

Okay. so here is the wildest thing. I went to my doctor on October 25 (4 weeks post op) had not lost any weight in 2 weeks. Sooooo disappointed. Went home and continued to walk (2 miles with 5 intervals of slooooow jogging) and watch Water and Protein. This Monday, November 5th, I weighed before working out (now working out about 1 hour before work 30 mins cardio and 20 minutes weights) was down from 313 to 296! I didn't believe it. Got off scales and got back on same results. I asked if scale was right and lady said they weighed her right, maybe even a little heavy. Not sure what happened but am going with it. Sleeved 9/24 and now down total of 49lbs, 27 lbs since surgery. Sooooo happy but still don't know what the heck happened. lol

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
