It is normal.

Most people encounter stalls, most people's weight fluctuates some.

3 years post op perspective - does it really matter? what matters is getting to your goal and maintaining it.

If you were sleeved on the 7th, then you have probably hit the dreaded week 3 stall. You'll be fine. Keep getting in your Water and Protein and walking. Your weight is going to fluctuate from day-to-day by a couple of pounds. That's just a fact, as you retain and release water weight. If it's taking a psychological toll on you, then stop weighing yourself as oftern. Just weigh once a week or once a month.

Be sure to get your 70-80 Grams of Protein a Day, and stay as close to 800-1000 Calories a Day! I found that helped me to loose the weight!

      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!!
