I have seen a few posts like yours, so you are not alone!

Hard to say what is up with you without a bit more detail - has it been a week, a month? Is it a brief stall and will come right? How’s your eating and exercise? Are you nearly at your goal? etc etc.

But one suggestion is to haul out your post surgery papers (or look here in the food/nutrition pages) and give yourself a refresher by repeating your post surgery eating weeks - pouch/sleeve “training” my surgeon calls it. So you will go back to liquids with Protein, then move on to purée - get that protein in and Vitamins, and 8 glasses of Water. And as you move into solids, keep a good record of what you are eating...

Keep us posted? This is a great community for advice and support!

Four months out and I haven't lost weight in three weeks. I'm not panicking as my goal was to get healthier and get off my daily regime of 10 medications. To date I'm down to only two medications and my blood sugar, BP,gout,snoring while sleeping and Gerd all got better. I'm eating better but much less and though I exercise I'm sure I could do more. Overall I'm happy with my progress.

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
