Maintaining my weight between 160 and 164. Happily so. Will be getting my knee replacements this coming winter !! Newest odd thing that happened ? My weight has been stable for many months - and I am thrilled at being comfortable in my skin ( in all of it's lovely looseness ) - I noted my bras not fitting well. Decided to go in and have a proper fitting. I have been wearing a 40 D - was measured at between a 36 and 38 DD - Huh ? Really ? Tried on said correct sizes depending on brand. And They fit beautifully. Even at 67 years old our bodies change is such strange and unexpected ways, even years after losing the weight !

Yeah for sure, I've definitely learned that walk around trick early on. Just want to make sure those bigger sips don't have any other underlying problems other than that 'stuck in the throat' feeling.

I started sleeping on my stomach again around 4 days post-op. My neck and back were so messed up from sleeping upright and I just couldn’t do it anymore. I had to turn a little slower at first, but no worries at all now (two weeks post-op).

1-3 weeks is pretty common for a stall - but a month is not unheard of. You're only 11 days into it - so it's not an issue yet.

Hello! i’m new here and my surgery is scheduled for july 19th! i’m pretty excited. i’m doing alright on my pre op diet, maybe because i’m drinking a lot of electrolytes haha

Surgery buddy! I'm scheduled for the 11th too! I'm glad you got your anxiety addressed. 🙂

I have two weeks to go. Today is one week down. Total of 3 weeks. July 10 is my surgery date. We can do this!!!!

just wait it out. It'll break on its own. Stalls are a very normal part of weight loss - this will likely be the first among several. Just stick to your program and stay off the scale for a few days. They typically last 1-3 weeks. Once it breaks, you'll be on your way again.

well my poop must be made of bricks then lol one of my fave past times a couple years ago was doing before and after weigh ins for poop times (and pees, showers, eating a large meal, menstual cycles, workouts, etc, but i digress lol) ...and in the case of pooping, i almost always weigh less after. mind u i only poop every 3 days or so (a post-wls phenomenon for me), so i get pretty backed up. there have been a couple/few times i went on vacay (or had surgery) and didn't poop for like 10+ days and when i finally did i would drop up to 2.5 lbs. *shudder*

Well, since you wanted things to read: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1333426/ Yes. people even study how much poop weighs.
