From reading LOTS of posts this is just normal. Your body is re-adjusting, and it WILL happen at various times. BUT you will continue to lose weight. Just follow the plan! Remember you are still averaging over 5# a week. That's AMAZING!

I am week 4 post op today, and I have been stalled since last week.

The scale hasn't moved. At least I know it's not due to me over eating!

Increase your intake,what i do is time my self to eat every two hours,so i set my timer,and i eat, even tho i;m never hungry..so it's been working for me also i stop walking on my treadmill for a while,and i started losing faster,i know crazy, lol.but i will start back soon just watching my body for now and also you could be losing inches that will not show on the scale, so don't get discourage it will start back soon..

Try not to stress. The stall will go away. Your at a common time. Im almost 7 weeks out and at 3 1/2 weeks I was down 34 pounds and then I stalled nothing for 3 weeks but a pound loss and this week im down 4 1/2 more pounds. Measure your inches, b/c Im sure your losing. Stay positive!

I had my surgery Jan. 28, 2013 and was losing nice and steady. I have been stalled for 4 weeks and it is driving me crazy. I swim 5 days a week, 3 of those days also include senior Water exercise classes, I walk 3/4 a mile on my tread mill, I keep a detailed log of everything I eat and drink with the time, and nothing moves. At 240, which is where most people start, I just can't seem to move on.

I did lose 30 pounds in the 6 months before surgery, and 45 since surgery, but none of the pre-sessions or post-sessions ever dealt with the plateaus that would face us.

Help me please.

I'm exactly the same I'm at 3 weeks post op and stalled after the first week. I still have not lost anymore since the first week. ARRGGHH! I'm so frustrated and thinking this isn't going to work for me.

After so many complications with the band I'm really over feeling this way :(

Hey guys, IT HAS to work... The Math makes it impossible to NOT work. Give up the scale and watch inches for a bit. Relax and practice your new life. All is well. Frustrating, but well!

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
