I'm 7 weeks out and I've hit a stall again. I've been the same for 2 weeks any suggestions on how to break this stupid stall? I have lost 31 lbs so far but its taken me a month to lose 8-10 lbs ..I'm getting really discouraged

I completely understand your frustration. I stalled out at 7 weeks also......and am still stalled out at 11 weeks. Haven't lost a lb. to speak of. I keep fluctuating 3-5 lbs each day. I'm ready to pull my hair out (if it wasn't already falling out, thank you very much anesthetic!). Everything I have read says it will get moving again when the old body is ready to. I just wish it would happen soon!

I think that is one of the BIGGEST frustrations for ALL of us during this process. BUT, with that being said, most of all of us hit plateaus all the time. I hit a plateau for the entire MONTH of January :( . But I am not discouraged because I know I am doing all the right things- exercise and good diet. I think our bodies just have a different idea about adjusting to our weight loss. Especially since I have never lost weight this fast before- I think my body is freaking out a bit. You will totally get through this- hang in there! You will start losing again and if you aren't losing- I have noticed my clothes fit better even if the scale isn't moving.Thanks for your post. Keep up what you are doing! Butterthbean (a wise member) has a link regarding plateaus- check it out. http://www.dsfacts.com/weight-loss-stall-or-plateau.html

      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.
