I'm sorry you're in a stall. First, stop freaking out over this. Freaking out isn't helping you. When you're only 47 days out, the scale going up 2 lbs seems like the end of the world. It isn't. Our bodies naturally fluctuate that much daily.

That said, if you do the same things, you'll get the same results. If you want something different to happen, you've got to do something different. Are you doing any exercise?

3 yrs post op congrats. I am 1yr post op and doing okay, but I have read a lot and seen people that have gained weight back once past a yr or more. What do you do to keep the weight off. I still do not eat more than I should and try to stay way from the sweets and wine.

Thanks! I gained some weight back. I lost a total of 108lbs & have regained about 40. I'm not proud of that. Luckily I require no prescription medications, as all my other vital signs are well within normal limits. This journey we're all on is hard!

do you worry that you'll gain the rest back too?

Not really. I'd have to start really overeating to pack on much more. My weight has been steady for months.

Instead of spending brainpower worry about regaining, I'll spend brainpower working on how to lose more.

I'm sorry to read you're constipated. I'd suggest more Fiber, but you're too soon past surgery. Drink as much Water as you can. Consider a stool softener. Sooner or later nature WILL take its course! Good luck!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
