Before my surgery I was 439 and then I went on liquid 2 week diet dropped to 419...So I had my surgery on Dec 31st and was at 419.. Then I was down to 398.. And now I've stalled for 3 weeks now. I've also had a hard time pooping. So I take a daily Fiber powder in my Water.. I check today and I've gained just about 3 lbs. my doc says don't worry it's normal.. I walk about 5 miles a day for exercise through out the day.. I drink about 70 oz of water.. Nothing else. I eat about 800 to 1100 calories as I was told. The only thing I can't eat until next week is white breads and Pasta.. And nuts.
Sigh okay done crying. I know I know it happens.. I've read tons of posts here.
So.. Okay. I'm done.

Sometimes people like to ask the question to help them feel better and have someone reassure them personally then rather read something from another person.

Here is another one for you. I started at 449, went on the liquird pre-op diet, dropped down to 419 the day I had the sleeve and now I am at 402.. so in less then 30 days I lost almost 50 pounds.

I am with you, I am about in the same stage as you, and I am SICK of the shakes and the Soup. I was on this diet 2 weeks before my surgery and now almost 3 weeks of this, so I am tired of everything. I even hit the "Stall" I've been reading about here.
I am just sticking to my guns, do the crap and counting the days down until I can eat something. Its all we can do.

Well the swelling was a common issue before I started the meds and after taking the meds it basically went away. My doctor had me have my legs checked, I don't have any blockages or anything, just poor circulation in them.
When the swelling went down, he told me that happens and a lot of doctors put people on a very low dose of Metformin to help with swelling in their legs.
Edit: sorry forgot to add, I can walk fine, I am back up to about 2 to 3 miles a day of walking with no issues.

@@loriemoms Thanks for the encouraging words, Amazing how you've done!
I know 103 is norm, in fact my sugar levels on meds never went above 130. When I got the meds, my A1C was almost 9, but since I went on a diet and stopped stuffing down sugars (months before my surgery) it dropped down to 5.7.
Why I am concerned? Well, the rise in numbers and my legs are starting to swell up (again).

Wow, I don't know why you were in that long, but I am cheering that you get to go home. I know myself, the one day I was in the hospital, I didn't care for, so 5 weeks..
Yep, happy is the way i'd be!

it's kinda like learning to drive stick. clutch, shift, gas, shift, cough, sputter, damn, clutch...weight will FLY OFF,then slow to a halt, without you doing anything differently. keep doing what you are supposed to do, it will all be fine. Protein, Fluid, and FITNESS should be 1, 2, & 3 on your "TO DO " list. i stalled 3 lbs from my HALF WAY mark for a week. frustrating, yes, but i hit it this morning! LIFE. IS. GOOD.
