Are you exercising? Try and get in at least 30 minutes of walking everyday. It makes a bit difference.

This is soooo normal. It might not move for another week or 2 but when it starts again you will drop a lot of weight fast again. Hang in there and keep doing what you are doing!

Nurselisa22,

I like your attitude! I too am stalled. It began at 3 weeks. Its been hanging around until week 5 thus far. I am dying to get the scale moving again. I work out alot, and am trying to get more Water in, but the stupid scale will not move.

Just reading your post peeped me up some. Thanks for the great attitude!

I am finally getting out of that stall. It started at three weeks and I only lost about a pound a week for over 2 weeks. Just this past week the scale has started moving again. Thanks to everyone here I realize how normal that was. What got me through it was taking my measurements instead. I was still losing inches even though the scales wasn't budging. And my clothes were getting bigger. During the stall I had to get new jeans because my old "skinny" ones were way too big.

Hang in there. The scale will start moving again.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
