I was stalled for 5 weeks. It can be very, very frustrating.

I started taking mega doses of Vitamin d3 and I'm back on track.

Type "week 3 stall' into the search box in the top right hand corner of this form..............you will be inundated with related posts. It is VERY common to have a stall around Week 3 post-op.

"mega does of Vitamin d3" can be dangerous. if you decide to try it then consult with your doctor and start with no more than 10,000iu daily. i started taking d3 a while back and it made a HUGE difference in how i feel. i am holding off on all Vitamins and meds until surgery (2/20) but will continue the d3 regimen as soon as I am able.

i was told at 4 weeks they expected me to loose less then gastric bypass patients which is 25% of your excess weight. I lost that exact amount. I am to eat 3 -1 ounce meals (protein) right now with a little bit of cooked veggie (a bite) and a Protein Shake. I have been having more than that bc I have had issues getting Protein in through shakes and still met their goal. Everyone is different and I find every dr is different. I was sleeved 1/16. Have you been walking?

I really hadn't thought about dangers of it. I didn't realize it was fat soluble and is stored. I've been taking high doses for about 2 weeks now (6,000 IU). Not sure if that qualifies for "high." As it did with you, it made an enormous difference in how I felt. I couldn't believe it. It did take about a week to feel the effects. And it took about a week before weight started dropping again.
