My VS journey began with a seminar led by Dr. Nicholson around April 2010. Over the next 90 days I did the recommended nutrition meetings and sleep study which led me to my surgery on 11/2/10 (which had been rescheduled from 10/26/10 due to irregular EKG). The surgery went well out of the hospital the 2nd day. I was back at work (worked from home) the 2nd week and in the office the 3rd week. I lost 13 lbs on the 2 week preop diet, gained 9 pounds the day of surgery from the gas, and another 17 since surgery, total of 31 pounds. Not shabby at all but now I'm on a stall. I haven't lost weight for more than 2 weeks now even though I take in less than 900 calories a day and get in my protein most days. And I've been walking at least 30 minutes or more 3-4 times a week. I know other people have talked about a stall and was wondering when it finally lifted, especially this early in the process?

You've probably lost more than that...I don't know if you weighed yourself the day of surgery and then the day after surgery, but I did and found out that I gained 9 pounds just from the gas they pumped in me for the surgery.
