Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing weight.

None of us lose at a constant or steady rate and if you intend to lose a large amount of weight you will stall.

Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids (at least 64 oz) every day, take your Vitamins and supplements as directed, and exercise.

It sounds like you need to work on getting more Water.

Embrace the Stall!

Increase you Water to 64 ounces. Otherwise just continue to follow your program.

FYI -- Sleevers don't have pouches.

it's a term often used, I didn't mean literally a pouch, but if you look up the definition of a pouch, maybe then you would understand why a stomach is reference to a pouch ????

      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.
