I’m about 3 and a half months post op and I have only lost 2 pounds in the past 2-3 weeks. Is this a common time to have a stall? I’ve (only?) lost 42 pounds post surgery.

It appears it is common for you. Weight loss is very individual (we are individuals after all) and your genetics, habits, diet, SciFi preference, exercise, environment, stress level, bougie size, etc. will dictate your loss pattern. Some people go in a straight down trend, others stair step (me) ,some go down/up/down again. No discernable rhyme or reason.

If you are staying on plan your weight loss will pick up again , but be honest with yourself if you've drifted and correct as soon as possible.

Safe Journey!

WOW! I think you are losing fast, 42 lbs in 3.5 months...that's almost 3.5 lbs a week, I'll take that anyday.

You may have hit a stall but you have not lost slowly. I just hit a month and am down 30lbs and I am very happy with that. Keep with your program and it'll kick back into gear. Good luck to you and congrats on your success so far!!!!!

BTW what's a bougie and what is the proper size?

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
