Well I guess it's true what everone says about the third week! I've gained one pound over the last week and the scale hasn't moved since! I'm ok with that. I've lost 21 pounds and I'll be 4 weeks out on Saturday. Throughout my adult life I've lost 50-60 pounds and gained it all back 4 times. I don't eat unhealthy never eat fast food, only drink Water, and mostly only cook at home. My problem was I had an enormous appetite! I could eat like a football player! I guess with this surgery I'm not expecting to lose all my weight overnight. Even though it sucks after all we've been through going through with a major surgery! Haha. I'm glad I've found the support from the people on this site!

Your story is very similar to mine - I ear very healthy - just started drinking things like Vitamin Water because my NUT advised it.

My problem was also a HUGE appetite! Good luck!

My surgery was 11/8 and I too have "stalled" in my third week. Thank goodness for this site and my doctor, at least I was forwarned that this it typical. Will be happy when the scale starts "moving" downward again! Good luck to you.

Yep, welcome to the club, don't worry about the stall, and don't weigh every day. Your body goes up and down by a couple of pounds every week anyway. I'll get on the scale one day and be 4 lbs. lighter 2 days later. Unreal. Your body has a lot of physical adjustments to go through, as does your digestive system. You will lose weight. :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
