it's the infamous three-week stall - it just came early for you. Mine was weeks 2 & 3. Almost everyone goes through that early stall. Just stick to your program and it'll eventually break. It always does!

You are correct! I’ve started moving on the scale again but not checking everyday (which is a bad habit)!

I am 25 days PO and am currently afraid it isn't going to work. I dropped 20 lbs in the first 10 days and haven't lost a pound since. I am measuring and tracking everything, following my program and getting my fluids. I am hoping things start moving soon.

The same for me! I am nervous! I lost 8 pounds pre surgery and then 12 within the first week or so. I had my surgery Feb. 4th. I haven’t lost a pound since the first post week! 🥺

Thanks everyone for all the advice! Exactly 2 weeks post op and I feel 10x better than I did! I have moved from the gas to the limo in my throat feeling I keep reading about lol! No longer feeling weak so I’ll take the lump over that feeling any day! I can finally take a big sip of Water lol and I’m down 24 lbs!!!

I totally understand. Yesterday was day 5 and I felt good. I woke up this morning feeling terrible. I am so weak today. I am honestly thinking about going to the doc. All I keep thinking is this too shall pass. 😢

I had mine on Feb 4th! And like everyone said each experience is different! I came home the same day and only took pain meds for 1 day. (They always make me nauseous). I work from home so I was able to do so. My only issue is I don’t feel like I’m getting enough fluids ( just don’t want any) but I’m adjusting and doing better today! Anddddddd I’m down 18 pounds! You got this! ❤️

I feel your pain. My husband keeps asking if my smelly farts will eventually go away! I know that my gas is directly related to what I eat. If I sneak a few pieces of candy, or a cookie, or a muffin, I know I'm going to be miserable with gas pain.

I'm trying very, very hard to change my snacking habits, but it is really hard. I eat according to plan up until about 7 pm. Then I find myself grazing on the wrong foods while watching TV. Hence, I end up farting all night long. I understand why my husband is frustrated!

I know I'll never be able to sustain my weight loss until I change my relationship with sweets. I wish I didn't have it in the house, but my husband (who has never had a weight problem) considers Cookies, pastries and donuts a staple of life!

No excuse, since I'm responsible for myself, but I hope you can all relate to the temptation!!!

Yes! My daughter is a huge snacker (no weight issues) and I didn’t realize how much until me being restricted. I am a bored snacker and love bread sweets but jolly ranchers and almonds were my thing! I miss them so! I have noticed that my gas wasn’t too bad today but I feel weak. I know it’s because I’m not eating but I can’t bring myself to drink some of these shakes.

I had my surgery on Feb. 4th. The doc did tell me of some gas discomfort but this is crazy! First 2 days I was vomiting (general anesthesia does that to me) but now it is constant gas pains. Does it get any better?!

So sorry to hear about your mother. You’ll be fine. I am 4 days post op and today was the first day I felt a little hungry. I’m not sure about the hair part (mine is already thin) but I’ll keep u posted.
