So I am not quite 5 months out and I have been in this stall for about 3 weeks and I feel like I am not going to lose anymore weight. I also feel like I can eat more food. I am still only able to eat a small amount of food but more than before. I thought if you eat more that it can actually cause a boost in weightloss because your body doesn't feel like it's in starvation mode. I am still eating right and excersing the the way I am supposed to. Any tips? ??? I don't I want this to be the end to my journey with about 40lbs left to go.

Hang in there it will happen. I don't weigh but once a month so I don't have to deal with the stalls and ups and downs. I am 4 months out, losing my hair 50 lbs down. I too can eat more and have been, I just concentrate on my Proteins and Water. But loving my sleeve

Yeah I started to lose my hair at month 2 which sucks but not too bad because my hair is really thick and I have a lot of it so you can't tell that its falling out. My problem is im a scale ***** and weigh myself everyday. I have had stalls that last a week but not 3 so it gets very discouraging. I've done well so far and shouldn't complain but it's hard not to think that I'm done ugh

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
