I feel your pain. I'm one month today and my scale has been STUCK for the last 2 weeks. I haven't been cleared for vigorous workouts because I had beginning complications... So all I can do is walk...... This sucks!!! .....

But we gotta stay positive!! Soon! This will have just been a bump in our road to thinner days!!

Keep your chin up. I only lost 8 pounds in the first two weeks after surgery. Are you taking in enough fluids? Believe it or not your body will retain Water if you are dehydrated. That can keep the scale from moving.

Hopeful what's your beginning weight? The more you weigh the faster it comes off. Maybe

I eat. I drink all day long (sips). I walk. My beginning weight was before surgery was 248. I am 5'1. I am now at 221. But at a stall since surgery (5/23/12). Its just so frustrating. Not even 1lb gone.

Don't get frustrated it will happen stress doesn't help and you shouldn't be watching those scales like a volcher. Drink your fluids, if you don't drink enough your body will hold on to it so drink drink drink. Walk as much as you can but don't hurt yourself. The weight will fall off, you got to remember when we were in hospital they pumped us full of liquids so when we got home we were dropping Water weight first. I know it's hard to be patient but just have Alittle faith if your doing what doctor said you'll loose the weight.

      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.
