I'm right there with you. I have stayed the same weight since Friday so that's six days. the only thing that makes me feel better is that its predicted that most of us would have that dreaded 3 weeks stall. To look on the bright side we're probably doing something right!! Lol :-D I'm sure we will succeed, we just have to do what we're doing and greatness will follow, (along with a few stalls here and there.)

It was such a huge thrill to watch the scale keep dropping and now it hasn't moved for the past few days its such a downer and I'm trying super hard not to become depressed over it.

OMG god, thank you for admitting to stall. I'm so bummed I have only lost a pound from my post op visit. First I blamed my old ass scale, thinking well I will use this a new baseline but the damn thing hasn't budged except for up (in the evenings bc I like to torture myself).

I track my calories, 450-550 per day, 60g Protein (mainly from shakes but slowly adding more puréed food) and well hydrated with Water (no artificial staff).

My exercise efforts are dismal but this stall has me so unmotivated. Went back to work this week so I'm trying to reincorporated exercise but with so few calories I should lose something! Ugh, just need to vent this out....

Sad to admit, but so happy to see other July 8 ppl stalled, feel less like a failure.

Arghhhhhh

I feel the same! My Dr said that during my whole weight loss journey, it will be like this. Big amounts of weight will drop off during some periods, and then a complete stall or slight gain during other times. He said it will go back and forth like that through the whole journey. I hope this eases your mind a little more. (i haven't lost in almost a week either)

Thanks. That does help to know we are all going through the same thing. Everyday I'm starting o feel more "normal".

      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!

      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!!
