if you're sticking to your program, then it's just a stall. Most of us have them periodically during out weight loss journey (the first one is usually within the first month for most of us , in fact). Just stick to the plan and stay off the scale if you need to. They usually break in 1-3 weeks.

if you follow your program, you WILL lose weight. You are likely just in a stall. They are very common. I had several of them along the way.

Stop eating three bites and start eating healthy and following your program. Takes time. You didn't gain it all in a few months...takes a while to lose it. You cannot reestablish a healthy metabolism by starving yourself. Nor can you reestablish a healthy metabolism by eating too much of the wrong food. Quit with the extremes. Talk to your Dietician. Make a calorie goal and a protien goal. Get some suggestions for menus. Get off the scale for a full month and eat what is recommended. Exercise. Stop the number obsession and focus on healthy eating. You'll be ok. I lost weight SUPER slow. Stalled for weeks sometimes. But I got there. You will, too. If you're feeling like you're at the end of your rope with the process...it might be time to see the therapist. ****, I STILL need to see the therapist sometimes to stay on track. Breathe. Everyone stalls.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
