Just wanted to share that my stall finally broke! And I also put on the scrubs I haven't worn since my last shift on May 10th and they are now HUGE on me!

My stall broke today! After about a week and a half! Be patient!

I'm 21! I had gastric bypass! If you need support, just let me know!

Don't feel so bad! I've been struggling to get under 290 for the past week! The scale will move, you're most likely stalled.

Oh no! Have you tried eliminating certain things from your diet? When did you stop taking the painkillers? I thought I'd gotten mine from my painkillers!

It took a couple weeks. It wasn't fully gone until my two week post op appointment.

Hi Amy! I live in Iowa and I had my RNY on May 11th! So not quite a month out! It's been challenging but so so rewarding and you will do just fine!

I dealt with this today as well. Took miralax two days in a row with nothing so finally just went out and bought a bottle of magnesium citrate and drank half and that did the trick!

I got a rash as well. It stayed on my lower abdomen close to my incisions. I never got anything prescribed to me, but I always made sure to keep the area uncovered as often as I could.

Hi JennYes, for sure, scale can be just plain frustrating. I only weigh myself once a week. Body weight fluctuates too much day to day. More accurate weight if weigh weekly. Just sharing my thoughts and how I manage weighing myself. I'm not looking forward to the stalls. And I'm sure there will be stalls. ???? It's so easy getting caught up in weighing everyday!!!! I admit I have been and need to quit. It's making frustrated, and losing sight I lost 42lbs in 5 weeks, totally takes away from that victory... I guess every Monday will be my new weigh in and measurement day. My stall has been for about a week and a half give or take.. I know the fat is redistributing itself right now, I feel it differently when being on my feet all day at work. I called my insurance, and asked about chiropractic work and its coverage. I receive 30 free visit a year yay.. So I'm definitely taking advantage of every session. Good luck My May Peeps and keep up the good fight.. We are doing it ????❤️???? I also weigh everyday. I might still weigh everyday but only record my weight on Mondays! I also hadn't had a BM for about a week I realized so I took some mag citrate and it took care of the issue! So I'm hoping this will allow my body to figure itself out! Like you, I lost 40 pounds my first 2 1/2 weeks. It's definitely a lot in a short period so I have hopes my body will straighten itself out as I'm sure yours will too!

Once you're all healed up, you'll be good as new! Don't get too down although I know things must feel super rough right now. Thinking of you! Keep us updated!

This makes me so happy. I, too, am 21 and I'm very excited to begin to see more progress. (I'm not even a month out from my surgery date)

Ello everyone! I finally kicked the scale to the curb today. I entered the three-week stall and just have been getting frustrated, so I'm now only weighing weekly instead! I should have known this stall was coming because there was a lot of hormones in my body because of my period! Hopefully this stall ends soooon, it's a little frustrating.

It's 'eat slower' on the apple market.

Oh gosh! Oh no! That's terrible news! But you're tough! Keep a positive attitude and keep us posted what they do! We're all thinking about you!

Oh goodness! This isn't good news at all! Keep us all posted, please..

Yep yep yep! Walk as much as you can! That gas pain gets YA!

I went shopping today! Got some cute dresses (that are shirts on me because I'm so tall) that will still fit as I lose weight! Happy to announce that I have gone down from a size 3x in shirts or dresses to an XL-2x I'm so excited!

On another note I just started taking the vitamins today. I got the advanced multi one so the only other one I would need is calcium And The calcium is yummy But the multi one....that'll take some getting used to...

Rest up and feel better!Thanks JennHow is it going with you. Of course, I hAve never had diverticulitis but I've heard it's painful!As for me, I am doing pretty well. Had my two week post op and was cleared for soft foods! Although the way my CNP was talking, she basically said I could have whatever as long as it's well chewed. I haven't had much weight loss the past 4 days but I credit that to my period because I haven't done anything that I haven't been doing before! I'm hoping you get to feeling better soon!

Rest up and feel better!
