I also am at a stall. A bit frustrating but I know it won't last forever. I am down 18 lbs since starting my preop. It is so exciting to see the scale goung down so it just adds to the frustration of the stall!

Yesterday was the two week mark since surgery and I had a stall last week which ended as of Monday with another drop of a pound. I am down 28 pounds from the start of my pre-op liquid diet. I am feeling better each day and just looking forward to what each week will bring.

I've stalled out at exactly 215.0 pounds. scale is not even wavering 2/10 of a pound...for some weird reason I find this amusing instead of annoying.

I was stalled at that exact weight for 5 days....and I thought it was interesting rather than bothersome, too LOL

TMI warning: Had a BM and went down to 214. I'm taking it ;)

I'm also day 6 and will be in the secret group so we can keep in touch. I'm having minimal pain' date=' and am getting bored, no driving, no lifting, walking is the only allowed exercise. My biggest issue, and the one I will be addressing today is Constipation. I'm drinking more, committed to getting 3 Unjury Protein Shakes today. I've added Benefiber to the drinks, but no results yet. Maybe prune juice and a laxative.

My post op plan is 1 full week of clears. Then 2 week full, then very soft. No solid food until week 4. I'm finding the unflavored Unjury tastes best in Gatorade. And even at that, it's an effort to hang in with it. Water, Popsicles, and chicken broth are better. Today I promised myself to get all my Protein and fluids, and I feel like I can keep that promise. That's progress.

Dr sent me home with Toradol tabs that I am to take for pain every 6 hours. I feel it when I try to skip, and I'm not having side effects, so manage to take 3 or 4 per day. My pain is at the 2 larger incisions. Maybe it will be better when I'm not FOSdde04

I'm not too tempted by food yet. Nice to see I'm steadily loosing weight. Can't seem to skip a day checking the scale.< /p>

All good, in the scheme of things![/quote']

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
