I am 9 weeks post op. Surgery was 10/14/13. Started eating food November 21st. Been in a stall since then, losing 2 lbs, gaining 2lbs, not really going anywhere. Eating small 3-4 ounce meals 3 times a day, have a Protein drink once a day, have small applesauce once a day, drink caffine free coffee with splenda once a day. For my Water, I am actually drinking sugar=free Jello Water, its flavorful, 40 calories for the whole package and provides 4 grams of Protein. Not able to exercise much as I am driving and sitting at my job in a call center for 14 hours of the day. WHEN WILL MY STALL END!

I suspect its the same as if you are flying and find yourself in a stall. Just relax, let the pressure off the controls and let the nose ease forward. Sometimes the solution happens on its own. Otherwise....PANIC !

I'm 9 weeks out, too, and in stall for about 3 weeks or so. Someone suggested I wasn't eating enough and drinking enough, so I'm trying to up this. I've heard people say to up the carbs for a day or two to shock your system. Others say stay the course,keep calm and carry on.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
