This happened to me too. I have only lost 9 pounds in 4 weeks. I went to the NUT and she told me to try to get my poop regular with MOM and Miralax. Well I tried and today- my weigh day and finally lost 2 more.

What are you using? Miralax and wjat else? I think that may my issue. I haven't been regular at all.

I am 4 weeks out today and have only lost 17#. I have lost NOTHING for 18 days. I guess I will have to their my scale off a building too. Hoping to start exercising and will see more loss. Reading this tonight really made me feel better. A lot better! I'm glad I'm normal. I was beginning to wonder if my stomach is too loose or the surgery won't work...

I'm almost 9 weeks out and have lost 32 lbs as of this morning (I only weigh once a week on Friday mornings). Given how much I have to lose, I've been surprised that I haven't lost more, but I'm happy that the scale is moving in the right direction. I am going to try to up my exercise with more time at the pool, since I am now having problems with my knees (which I never had pre-op...go figure!), plus I think I need to go back to having a Protein shake in the morning (I'm just having a hard time getting those last 20 grams or so of Protein in everyday).

Hang in there - we're gonna get there!

Vitamin C helps with constipation!! I chew 1000mgs and I'm on Iron pills 3X a day! Never constipated.
