Hi everyone,

I'm concerned, for the past 2 weeks, I didn't lose any weight and I'm always in pain after I eat, any suggestions or advise??? I omit to mention that I had my surgery only 7 weeks ago. Thanks.

Stalls are so common that someone here coined the phrase "Embrace the Stall". Just meet your daily Protein, Fluid, and Vitamin requirements; walk about 30 minutes per day [or equivalent exercise]; follow the meal plan you were given by the surgeon's office and let the magic happen.

The pain that you are experiencing at 7 weeks post-op could be due to a stricture or the manner in which you eat. At around 7 weeks I transitioned into solid foods. That transition can be difficult. Solid foods (such as steak) can be more difficult to eat than softer foods (chili and soups). Therefore I relied heavily on softer foods at this stage. There is nothing that says you need to speed up your transition to solids. Just give your stomach a little more time to heal. Also it is very important with solid foods to chew, chew, chew.

^{I am 10 weeks out and just got out of my second one that lasted 3 weeks.}

^{My shape keeps getting smaller, and I feel better, just the weight loss is stop and go.}

^{I have learned to take it as part of the long term process, and now sweat the short term scale.}
