I'm not quite 3 weeks out and my weight is stalling!! I'm still freaking hungry all the damn time! Why the hell did I alter my digestive system if I'm not going to lose weight..I'm beyond pissed this morning!! My scale is saying I've gained .6 lbs this weekend so far! I've stayed under 700 calories and I'm drinking plenty of water...This just horse shit!!

I know exactly how you feel cause I feel the same way BUT honestly, what can we do? We can't turn back time and even if we could, we would do it all over again cause we couldn't wait to be post-op! Yea these stalls suck but, you have lost some and if we hadn't have had the surgery we would be gaining still and be even more miserable. Everyone tells me to be patient, take my protien, drink my Water and consume my vitamines but all I really want is to look & feel better.... All we can do is keep it going and focus every day, there is no other options - a year from now we'll look back and this will be a stepping stone to greatness!

Keep your head up and know you are POST OP lots of people out there can't even get insurance approvals or are still waiting for the surgery and we are blessed enough to have had it already!!

I'm here if you need me!

I can always meet you 1/2 way for a protien shake

Well said!!!

But didn't you just have galbladder surgery? I'm sure your body is thinking what the Hell? Your body is rebelling

I had it out the 28th if December. That week of Christmas I lost 10 pounds. So it is in shock

I'm literally on the verge of tears...I just can't believe that the scale is moving up! I'm feeding myself every 3 1/2 hrs like my nut and surgeon said...I'm making excellent choices and I'm still not seeing results. I'm down 14lbs since 12/27..I was really hoping to be down at least 20lbs in the first month...but at this rate it's not looking like it's going to happen! What else do I need to do!!

Keep in mind u only to lose 15-20 pounds a month u doing fine

Wow I only lose like 5 to 10 a month so yeah you are doing excellent.

Same here. I'm a ten or less a month girl.

I'm 2 months out...i at least want to hit the 30 pound mark...stuck on 29..i keep track everyday..exc at least 30 min a day...is it my age(49) holding me back? I don't take any meds for thyroid but a few months ago I had ultra sound and found I have several growths on my thyroid..biopsy came back clear...is this affecting my weight loss?

Thats a good question for your doctor

Well I started this latest stall at about 8-9 weeks out so it seems the stalls all come about the same time like at 3 weeks then 9-10 weeks etc.

I hope I remember to ask at my next appt...I've forgotten 2x already lol! On the plus side I finally am down 31 lbs...5 in the last week.

Yep mine was 11/6 and only down 25lbs -- I really want to stop being obese!!! I'll be happy when I see overweight -- then hit NORMAL!!!!

I know how you feel I went 3 weeks without a loss, it's called a stall. They will happen frequently, but you just need to up your calories and exercise intensity and the most difficult of all be patient you are going to lose weight

No I have a stricture it only gets worst as each day goes by but there is nothing that can be done till next week. I did take a pain Med and so far hasn't made me sick like last time but I made sure I ate something with it this time
