How early and long was everyone's first stall? Mine started a little into week two and has lasted almost three weeks.

Mine started after week 2. I'm almost 4 1/2 weeks out and I'm still stalled.

Yes!! I'm 4 weeks out and have the new pain. It's like it's a pulling feeling.

Im happy to see ur response and a few others as well. Are u working out, more then walking? I assume when doc releases me this coming monday he will still have restrictions on what kind of work outs I can do. I dont lift weights or anything but I do like yoga, pilaties and taebo...I was hoping the pain would go away soon so I could start tighting everything up....dont want to be a flab monster if I can help it lol

I'm not working out. I just chase my 4 yr old around the block and that's about it.

I do like weight for toning my arma, Wall and dance in the house....try my chair dancing videos sometimes to.i get tires so fast, and my last stitch still pills but its pulling less, so hopfully it will soon pop with relieve completely..

They put an IV in your neck?! I was mad because they put mine in my hand (I was terrified they were going to hit a bone with the needle). If they would have put an IV in my neck I would have to had asked them if they were nuts! LoL!

Hey ladies and gents...im 5 almost 6 weeks out. ..I have a question....none of my incisions hurt except the one they pulled the "trash stomach" out of. Is this just me? Its not always sore...but when I workout (still just walking on treadmill until im released) or if i clean the house our do a lityle more...I even notice I get a little puffy in my belly area too when its sore. Am I the only one? What do u do to help? Ive been icing it when it flares up.

Yes, everything seems heeled then I will get a pain or feel like ,t clothes are sticking to the area where my drain was....each day gets better but irs weird...looks like its healed....I have noticed if I put a dab of antibiotic cream on my wounds...they feel much better!

Hey guys I am stalling. I am smaller but the scale and I don't agree. I was a 24 but now I am in an 18. The scale has been the same for 2 weeks. I increased my Protein. I walk daily.

When did you have your surgery? My Dr told me not to get on a scale during weeks 3 to 6 because your body is trying to figure out what you are doing....another yoyo diet or are you for real. Said to use this time to notice the changes in how your clothes fit.....after all isn't it really about the clothes getting loser and not a number? The scale is really just a mind game....after all...I can't remember the last time someone asked me to get on a scale to see if I look better! Haha! Gotta stop the scale mind games and just look at your clothes! That's the real test! You're an 18. Yay! Not a 24 anymore! Get rid of those big clothes and keep moving forward! That is such an accomplishment!

I had surgery on June 10th so yeah I am in the 6 weeks of my body reajsuting. Thank You! I needed that. My Dr never told me that. I was telling my husband that I think my body is adjusting to my new diet and it will catch on to the idea that I am not starving myself and this is how life will be like from now on. I agree the smaller clothes is a much nicer reward that the number on a scale. I did get rid of a bunch of clothes and still had some that fit. But after this go around of clothes I am going to be naked unless I go shopping. I think I am good for a few weeks may be a month or two. My good friend started calling me Lilly, as in Lilly Tomlin the incredible shrinking woman. I see that I am loosing and I feel bones I have not felt in a very long time. This morning I finally lost 3 pounds. I was shocked. I am happy to have lost and feel bad for complaining. I am so scared that this surgery will not work for me because nothing ever worked before. I eat less than 1000 calories a day. I walk when I have a chance. I finally have more energy and I am doing so much more than I did last month. I guess I am scared. I so want this to work. I am tired of loosing and regaining the weight and even more weight. Thanks again. I am so happy for your advice. You Rock!
