Hey everyone! I entering week four today and I am feeling so discouraged! I haven't lost a single pound in 2 weeks..... I was so happy to start soft foods, but can barely eat 2 bites... it hurts to swallow like it's getting caught in my esophagus and I'm chewing 30 times each bite! I don't k ow what is wrong but I'm feeling so depressed from not losing a single pound in 2 weeks... help? [emoji30]

I'm sorry you're discouraged. It's SO COMMON tho. Honestly. I had the famous three week stall. Make sure you're drinking all your Water and let your body heal. This first month is about healing. It WILL come off. Are you tracking your Protein and water ?

Yes I am tracking and getting plenty of water! I have never had a problem with Water, I love it!! I actually wish I could tolerate more! Lol

My Protein however is a little short.. but I can't get any more in!!!

I'm also stalled! [emoji17] I'm at five weeks out and been stalled for two. I've been pretty good at Water and Protein. Need to go back thru logs to check calories but I'm pretty sure I'm within all my parameters. So frustrating [emoji29][emoji29][emoji29]

Google three week stall. Everyone goes through it. Remember that this journey is a marathon and not a sprint. You have to make lifelong changes to be successful long term.

Hang in there.

Don’t worry we’ve all been there!!!! Make sure your not trying to eat too early. Guideline or not if YOUR body isn’t ready for soft foods don’t eat it. Stick with liquids a little longer. Good luck!!! [emoji4]

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
