Wow, I continue to be blown away by your experience. Now if only we could control this in a tangible and practical way. I think it was ms skinnyness that posted some good articles not too long ago about little tips for encouraging your body to dump Water faster, but man, 20 lbs over a weekend! I am floored!

I was stalled for almost 4 weeks' date=' SUCH TORTURE!!! Well, my stall broke Friday, and now on Sunday, 3 days later, Im 20 pounds lighter! Wtf??????? Un-believable. Truly. I was worried too, but I held onto hope and finally, BAM!!!! All I want you to take away from this is to be patient and stay the course, your body WILL catch up.[/quote']

Yay congrats!!

Absolutely. I know I worked harder to increase my Water intake to about 80 ounces a day, which took diligence because I am forgetful. But I did it. Kept on top of it religiously. I get approximately 70-75 grams of Protein a day. Only about 20 of that is animal Protein, the remainder of my protein comes from quinoa, plain greek yougurt mixed with Protein powder, and chai seeds added to my Water (brilliant idea by the way), and one of my favorite treats, a homemade avacado hummus ^_^ it provides great protien from the chickpeas and avacado has wonderful beneficial fats, Vitamins, Fiber, and flavor! Its just chickpeas, lime, avacado, and fresh garlic cloves. It goes great on anything, 2 tbsp a serving. Talking about it is making me hungry lol.

Anyhow, I had been working up my resistence train gradually from week 3 post op through week 5 post op. The 6th week I was up to 2 hours of resistance training a day broken up into 1 hour twice a day blocks. The 6th week I also began a training schedule to build up my running that I found online. For the first week you run/jog for 60 seconds, then walk for 90 seconds. You repeat this 8 times in a row, 3-5 times a week.

When I say Ive been dedicated, I mean it. That's why the stall was really getting to me, but I kept on anyway because everyone on here says stalls happen and pass, so I held on on the my thin shreds of patience.

      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.
