Hey I’m scheduled for bypass November 23rd. Anyone else that same time frame? I’d like to build a group if anyone is interested in going through this as a team?

It is frustrating! My pain has finally gone so I feel much more like myself but it seems like the pain went and was replaced with a stall! Just trying to focus on my exercise plan for the new year now so I have something to think about instead of the scale. Did yours just last a week?

Unfortunately, no. I am looking at my app and it was from Dec. 5 to Dec. 14. So 10 days.

Ahh well. My wife finishes work for Christmas on Friday so at least I’ll have something to take my mind off it!

Yes, you can go for walks with your wife. Your 10 pounds will come off....just not always when we want it by. But at Christmas you will be better than you were 1 month ago and certainly better than last Christmas!

I’ve hit the dreaded stall! 3.5 weeks out from surgery so it was kind of expected but still really annoying. I’d hoped to lose another 10 lbs by Christmas but I can’t see that happening now. Anyone else in the same boat?

Mine has slowed to 2 lbs. but I am still losing. It had been 4 lbs. a week.I’ll take what I can get. I did discovered a new breakfast for me tho, — Skippy PROTEIN PEANUT BUTTER AND LIGHT ENGLISH MUFFINS! A VERY WELCOME CHANGE!!

Always good when you find something that suits to eat! I’m still on puréed/soft food (and supposed to stay on this until week 8) but I have to admit, I’m not completely sticking to puréed foods-mainly because I can’t stand them!

Don't you love finding something new?? The different tastes are so welcoming. When I was able to have a few crackers I was in heaven! I find I eat the same thing for at least 5 days because it lasts so long. My head is still in the "make extra".

Yes Im in the same boat, 5 weeks post op and no loss for the past 1.5 weeks ??.

Grammie, did you find that after the stall you were consistently losing 4 pounds a week up until now at 2 pounds a week?

The 2 lbs. IS my stall. It hasn’t changed for 2 weeks. This may not be my stall, but I’m 6 weeks post op. I’m sure there will be more stalls according to all I’ve read so far. We just gotta keep keeping on!?

I haven’t really moved since 2.5 weeks...we got this!!

In the last few days, it's slowed down for me. bouncing back and forth a few tenths of a lb. I was hoping to be down 50 by the end of the year... Nevermind on that lol
