Today makes 3 weeks since surgery. The first 2 weeks I lost 30 pounds and 2 more the next day but NOTHING since. I've been doing everything I am suppose to do and don't know why I have not lost anything in a week. I know I'm not going to always lose a pound everyday but a week with no loss is killing me! Any advice??

Almost every single person who has had WLS goes through a stall at about this time. Stick to your diet. All is well!

do a search on the "three week stall". You'll find hundreds of posts on it. Happens to probably 99% of us. Just stay the course, stay off the scale, and your weight loss will start up again after a week or two.

To lose 30 lb in. the 1st few weeks is phenomenal. Don't get frustrated. I am 2 weeks out today and I've lost only 6 lb. I know it's a process so I'm not obsessing.

      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!

        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!!
