I don't know what to do! It's been over a month and the scale isn't moving! Actually, it's gonna UP a couple of pounds! My question is, is it NORMAL to be at a stall for THIS long??

Yes, I had just gained 8 pounds and had been in a stall for awhile!! I started drink about 10 cups of Water a day and have lost 2 of them already in 2 days! Be patient!

How long were you stalled? Glad you're not anymore!

I'm further out than you but about 3 months!

No fucking kidding, really?? Wow, I don't feel so bad then! But wait, IS it normal that I'm stalling for this long this soon out from surgery?

Everybody is different!! I lose nothing at times, then it just falls off me!! Drink your Water but not while eating!

Will do. Yeah, I actually wasn't drinking water because I hate it, and was drinking 2% milk.

I bought Mio and put it in my Water. Way easier to drink and since surgery, I am lactose intolerant. Crystal Light is okay too and Nestle makes a similar one to Mio.

Unfortunately, I don't like any of the things you can add to water. I just have to drink it straight up

bypass witch, what is a 5 day pouch test?

Yep! Embrace the stall. It happens. Stalled eating 800 calories a day for 20 days. Would not have believed it if I had not experienced it myself. Just Stalled up/down 2 lbs for 3 weeks. Then dropped 4 lbs in 4 days. Just keep following the rules. I also tried switching more animal Protein for milk or yogurt and that may have played a roll. Keep at it. You will succeed!

Wait....how much milk were you drinking to get your liquid requirements?

Were you drinking 60+ ounces a day of milk? If so, there's your problem. That's a lot of calories.

Why is it so critical not to eat and drink for half an hour apart?

To tell you the truth, I forget WHY it is important but only remember that it IS important!! I think it has something to do with emptying your pouch too fast and then you are hungry sooner and faster!!
