I know it's hard to hear but...... It will pass. You have hit a stall. Once passed it the weight will just come off. Make sure you are getting your protein and water. That's all you can do at this stage.

Week 9 post op. Down 43 pounds.

I was the same way. Couldn't use ice before. But now I need ice. I can take about 3 gulps too. But I am not hitting my water (or protein) goal. I keep trying.

Just had it this week. Week 4.

that's what I am thinking.

I have one poking out now too. Oh I am so glad you posted your question. I think it's a stich. I tried using tweezers and quickly stopped. Not a good idea. I am going to call my doc office today.

the spray helped me. I got it post op. Keep it on my nightstand. During the night I can reach over and get it. Dehydration is a major issue. Mouth dryness is bad in the middle of the night.

I am going on 4 weeks post op. I have lose 32 pounds since starting pre op. And today my husband said I am lazy. He thinks I could have lose the weight with exercise and limiting how much I eat. I told him I did not have the Will power. He said we won't be able to go out and enjoy ourselves at a buffet. He has never had a weight problem. He is clueless. I asked him does he think we would have a better time out if I ate 3 plates of food than if I ate a small plate of food. He said no but he's just know getting it. He saw how much I ate tonight. He said that's not enough. I had almost 3oz. 3oz is my limit. My husband is clueless and non-supportive. I am glad we have an online support resources.

I know my husband is going to leave me. Another 30 pounds and that will be one of his excuses.

I am starting 4 weeks. I eat almost everything. Except hard meats and vegetables. Try scrambled egg. Refried beans is a good one too.

I am going on 4 weeks post op. I am sitting at a restaurant now. I just had my first drink. Shared with my husband. I had 3 sips. That is enough. I wouldn't want to drive!!!! 3 sips.

My doctor had me swallowing pills day 2. I had surgery Monday. Tuesday I was taking pills, whole.

I have entered the 3week stall arena!!!! Not happy about it. ????????????

. I have lost 30 pounds. I have hit the 3-week stall. Recovery wasn't that bad. In the hospital for 2 nights. Feeling pretty well. Weighing food is a must for me. Eating to much is a killer. Hurts like ****.

Haven't found a good flavor yet. Have you? What's good?

I did. But based on what other people have written I am not the norm. I have never vomited. However a few times I ate to much and then felt like I was going to die. Listen to your body. Don't over do it. I started soft foods at 2 weeks. I am starting week 4 tomorrow and I eat almost anything as long as it fairly soft. And I chew well

I went to Vitamin Shoppe and GNC. I have bought some. Ind. packages. I have tried cinnamon bun and lemon pie not that good. Tomorrow I will try cookies and cream

I started vitamins when I came home. Day 3.

My doctor told me to hit 1000 calories. I am lucky to get to 800. I trying to get in protein and water. It's hard. I am 3 weeks post op. I am down 30lbs since pre-op.

My doctor never mentioned it. I had sex week 2.

I just got my explanation of benefits. My surgery cost 15K. I am responsible for $0. Not bad. Blue Cross Blue Shield - Carefirst!!!! Thank you.

Me too. I wish I had not bought the cases of boost from BJs.

I told a small group of people that I was going to a NUT 6 months prior to surgery. It's true I was. I just left out the part about the surgery. I don't want to tell them specific. The other day someone did come in to my office and was blunt. "What are you doing". She is overweight her self. When I mentioned the NUT helped a lot. Which is true. She said oh. I won't do that.

My doctor had me swallowing pills on day 2. Before I left the hospital.

I drove 4 days after. Doctor just said be careful with driving and taking Meds.
