I also had my surgery Feb 12. I was reminded about the week 3 stall earlier this week. I would just continue getting in your Protein and 64 oz of Water daily. We all lose at different rates. Starting weight plays into it as well.

You are "supposed" to lose a certain amount every week. None of us lose weight at a constant are steady rate. We all have periods of rapid weight loss and periods of no weight loss (stalls).

Almost everyone experiences their first stall about three weeks after surgery.

Just follow your program and focus on getting in all of your Protein and Water.

Embrace the Stall!

Hang in there, Kiddo. I lost 22 pounds pre-op and then gained 12 pounds back from IV fluids in the hospital. By the time I lost those 12 pounds, I was into week three.

It was not until week four that I really started to drop any measurable weight. Once I hit six months, the weight started coming off in Milligrams instead of pounds.

It is what it is. Some of us are just slow losers and every excess pound is going to go out kicking and screaming!

      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.
