I'm starting my 3rd month Surgery date 2/24/14 Height 5'1 SW: 215 BMI:40 CW:179 (but it goes up an down from 181 to 179) First month I dropped 30+lbs like it was melting off of me! What a feeling. All during my second month I struggled to lose weight. I'm doing all sorts of cool interval & strength training exercising. I'm journaling and staying with all my cals, carbs, protein... Love it but I really want to see the pay off on the scale or in my clothes. I guess it's slower than I thought. My doctor and my support team at the weight loss center say I'm doing everything ok. So why is it so slow. Will it be a struggle forever. Everyone says it will just start coming off again...is that true? I'm hopeful for this month...maybe I'll lose the 1 to 2 lbs they said I would when I invested my life savings into this procedure, food, gym, training, etc! Just venting...thanks for listening So happy to have found this forum for us shorties

CupofJojo: thank you for the response. I'm on my second week of stall. I actually lost a pound just to regain it. I just realized my doc asked me not to drink 15mins before eating and wait 45-60mins to drink after a meal. I've not been doing that... And my 1st month appt was last week and doc said I can now eat veggies but yay my Protein intake needs to increase. Was just getting in 50grams. I've got to get it to at least 80grams. What is your favorite per-made Protein Drink? Is it just me but I hate making these drinks all the time. And when I do I end up sipping it and then placing in the frig and then I don't want it. Err

Covatila 84, I'm going through the exact same thing. I'm feeling so down. Like I won't see the results I was expecting! Please let me know how you are doing now? Have you seen better results?

HW: 215 SW (feb 24): 215 CW (4 weeks post op): 185 Loss from surgery to today: 30 lbs GW: 125. (I am 5'1") I have not lost any weight in over 5 days. It's like it just stopped. Is this normal?? Should I be concerned?

HW: 215 SW: 215 Today: 3/24/14 (exactly 1 month) 185 Lost 30lbs GW: 125 I'm at a stand still with my weight. I used to drop a pound a day. I have not lost a pound in 5 days. Is this normal?

I'm new to the forum and had my vg surgery on 2/24. Tonight I'm having extremely loud stomach noises, like I'm empty or hungry but I do not feel hungry. Any suggestions? I'm still on my liquid diet until March 11. Would also love to meet others that have had a late feb surgery.

I do take Prilosec every morning. Well just started after reading more of these forums. Tonight the noises are much better. Just know hope one day I'm at a movie theater and I have these noises Hope I do NOT have these noises. Lol looks like I'm getting tried

Today is my tenth day post opt and I'm doing ok I think... Actually got out this morning and drove for the first time for more than 4 mins. And I helped a friend with a newborn session. So there was some bending and movements I haven't done since 2/24. BUT I'm so tried of this liquid diet... I want real food and I was so hungry tonight. It scared me. Anyone else get really hungry certain days or times of the day? I'm just so upset right now. I'm missing food I guess.

Just saying hi. My surgery was on 2/24 and I'm excited to meet all you wonderful feb losers
