So you have gained 4 pounds a week for the past 3 weeks or you lost 10 pounds the first week, gained 4 the second week and your weight has remained the same for three weeks. It hasn't even BEEN 4 weeks since 7/24. That's when I got my surgery.

What is pcos?

I had surgery one month ago. I was losing weight rapidly and then BOOM i've been stuck at 203 for like two weeks now...if not a little more than two weeks...I also have PCOS. Had not had a cycle in 5-6 months and I too finally got it.

It's extremely frustrating I just keep telling myself it's just a stall...it will break soon...it's taking a toll on me mentally and emotionally at this point.

I got stuck at exactly 2:03 also! I started at 2:23. I stayed at 2:03 for what seemed like 3 weeks and then all the sudden I was down to 190! Hang in there, it will come off I promise.

Having said that, I don't know anything about PCOS. It doesn't sound fun. So sorry you both have that to deal with along with your surgery.

My last stall I went to Vegas and LA and traveled up the California coast to San fran. Ate like ****, didn't exercise at all and lost 12 lbs when I got back..lol

Sometimes you need to back off and let your body adjust I guess.

yup...Basically...I think all the walking I did combined with the slight spike in calories forced my body to let go of the stall. You can eat whatever you want, just not much of it thats for sure.

Yup, I love a good slice of pizza. I can eat a whole normal slice now, barely. I used to do 4 easy. Pizza was one food that I told my doctor if i could never eat again I wasnt doing the surgery. I was serious...

PS California pizza is TRASH...I ordered when we were in LA and the guy at the hotel recommended the place as the best around and I couldnt believe that called that crap pizza.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
