My surgery was 04/24/15, I went from 245 down to 232lbs, but have not lost any additional weight, and I'm 5 weeks post op. They took me off my Water pill/blood pressure, and I think I maybe retaining Fluid. My left ankle seems to swell up slightly, but that's it. They won't put me on a water pill to get rid of the fluid as I may dehydrate. I will drink 32oz of fluid while at work, and never use the bathroom. I hope I'm not having kidney issues on top of this.

Weight loss stalls are very common. I stalled for a while at 5 weeks. It will pick up again, I assure you. The not going to the bathroom is a bit worrisome. Please keep a eye on this. I do notice I don't go as much as before surgery. My Fluid intake is just not high enough to have enough to go a lot. I monitor my intake carefully but there are only so many hours in the day I can drink and with meals and wait times, I can only drink so much. Not to mention the tiny stomach. Sipping all day is the game. I used to call it my full time job. The other jobs were part-time in comparison because drinking enough was by far my hardest job at week 5. It gets easier as time passes. I am 6 months ahead of you and I have lost 93lbs. Our stats were not too different before surgery. I was a little heavier but I am also a little taller. I think our BMI is comparable.
