I’m in the same boat. Surgery 12/18. Dropped 35 pounds the first 5 weeks & stalled since. Was at group last week. One guy there said he had a stall that lasted 4 months. He lost 150 pounds in 13 months so I guess it’s normal. Just takes patience-which I have none!!

@freedom&bliss I was just walking for exercise. I also moved-so lifting boxes up and down steps, painting, etc.... to jumpstart things about 2 weeks ago, I started doing kettlebell exercises. Lunges, swings, goblet squats, etc... still no change. I’d be happy with a pound a week. At least there would be movement

I was sleeved on 12/18 Lost 25 lbs in first 2 weeks. Another 10 in the following 2 weeks. (Roughly) Been in a stall ever since. Do stalls last 5-6 weeks this early on? I’ve done all the research & work diligently with my nutritionist. Changed up my routines a bit to try & kickstart but having no luck. She says it’s normal and as long as I get in my water, protein and vitamins every day then I should be good. This does not seem normal to me. Any thoughts on this?

@fat2fabmyway Sounds like we are experiencing the same noises. Almost like an espresso machine going off inside my abdomen! He made bacon twice in the same day knowing you couldn’t share? That’s grounds for divorce!!!! Lol. My wife and I had my son’s birthday party the other night. Pizza, cheese and crackers, mini cupcakes, etc.... all foods you just pop in your mouth-hungry or not. Honestly I wanted none of it. Normal I’d pick at it every time I walked by but I just told myself that #1 you’re not hungry & #2 it’ll hurt your baby stomach. I’ve literally ingested 25 calories in the past five days and am Not hungry at all. Weird.

@fat2fabmyway. Hey. You and I got our surgery on the same day. I have pain as well. Mostly when I stand from sitting. Gotta take it slow. Bigger concern for me is the gas pain. I can’t shake it. Tried walking around the block but it doesn’t suffice. Gas X helps a little bit but I can hear the gas breaking up in my abdomen. Just doesn’t exit! My appetite is nonexistent however, head hunger is insane. 5 out of every 7 commercials on tv are for food/restaurants.
