You're likely in a stall. They happen and typically last between 1-3 weeks (I've had few that lasted longer though and the longest was 30 days, but in the week following that stall I lost 6 pounds so... it sometimes makes up for it). Everyone loses at their own pace. Stalls happen. Some people deal with them more than others (I'm one of those who has gotten them CONSTANTLY though my whole journey starting in month 3). You can try and adjust what you're eating to see if something different will work. For me, what broke me out of my 30 day stall (which ended just over a week ago) I cut my sodium down. By a LOT. And it worked.

If your profile is correct then you’ll probably lose weight slower than those who still have a lot to lose. Just keep going and I agree that switching things up once in a while helps continue the loss phase. Hang in there!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
