You are doing fabulous. You see yourself everyday, so you may not always notice it. Keep up the great work.

I'm 3 weeks post op, so I do know how hard it is! But, patience is a virtue right?

I have been sick a lot. I was positive for the H. Pylori bacteria that grows in your stomach so that's been had me sick a lot. It has its days.... sometimes I feel good. Sometimes I want to break down and cry.

Oh you poor thing! I had that a few years ago and it lasted a long time. Terrible. I hope you are cured of it very soon and be kind to your poor tummy. How awful to have had bariatric surgery and then have H. Pylori!

Feel better real soon. Have they talked to you about taking a probiotic? I highly recommend. I've been on them for years now and they are a Godsend!

Good job! I'm 4 weeks out. I lost 19lbs the first 2 weeks and I seem to have stalled. I've literally lost nothing the last 2 weeks since I started on soft foods. Any suggestions on how to get it started again? I feel like I'm behind and did this all for nothing. I started at 233 and I'm now at 214. I get all of my Protein in and workout in the evenings walking, riding my bike and lift small weights.

I feel the same way! But, in reading many of the posts here prior to surgery I know that there are stalls along the way. Many of the people have said to just keep doing what you know is right and follow the plan. You will get over the stall and suddenly begin losing weight again.

Just keep doing what you are doing. That's all we can do at this point right?

I stalled at 2 weeks and I had to take a deulcolax to jump start it again.

If you are going to do a probiotic again, might I suggest the Walmart Brand Equate? It is the same as Align but about $20 cheaper. I just purchased 42 pills for just under $25.00. That is the cheapest I've found and it works wonderful.

I think I just had a stall between week 2 and week 3, but fortunately I didn't need dolcolax to jump start it again. My body was able to do that all on its own (I credit the probiotic).

Thank you.. I am going to look for that.
