Ok I'm 19 weeks today, and for the past three weeks I have only lost one pound a week... some weeks the darn scale won't even move. Not sure why its slowing down sooo much. I still have A lot to go! I'm starting to think that I'm not gonna reach my weight goal :(

Has anyone else gone thru this? I'm soon to be 5 mons... I was hoping to be a lot thinner by this point.

Mine took off at 1st girl and then stopped for 2 months and now that I'm loosing again I'm only loosing 2 lbs a week! I totally feel yea but my friend who is 2 years out told me about 5 months it slows down and by 6-7 months it speeds back up! I hope she's right!! I hate loosing this slow while everyone else is loosing a lot!

Very, very common and absolutely nothing to worry about. It's all part of the process. It seems to be different for everyone and occurs at different points in time, but just about everyone has stalls, lulls, plateaus - whatever you want to call it. Stay focused on the protocol, stay active and stay away from the scales for a couple of weeks. You'll be back on track in no time!!

I'm told if you hit a plateau, change up the exercise routine, add Protein, and make sure you are not washing out your pouch by drinking and eating at the same time.

You have done phenomenal so far, so you know this is just temporary! :)

I've been at a stall for about 2 weeks now and I'm only 3 months out. I just had my 3 month check up yesterday & talked to the dr and was just told it happens..that's it. Not real enthused with their answer :/

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
