sodium? hormones? Constipation? Could be any of those. Give it a couple of days and see if it drops again.

I literally just was dealing with the same problem. I'm 7 weeks post op and I stalled because of Constipation. Once I had a bowel movement I lost 5lbs. My biggest problem is that I'm always constipated and I not getting the weight off as fast because of it.

Well LOL we know what you were full of💩And I'm not really making fun of you, you see I also sing in the "When did I poo💩Last "choir. In fact there are times I am guest soloist. My best way through, Miralax twice a day, if no BM after 2 days I resort to liquid Ducolax, if the third day comes and no💩, we call out the Ducolax pills, when they start working you wouldn't to schedule me anywhere except 1 room from my tile and porcelain abode, because I WILL BE ABIDING THERE. You see I drew the trifecta of colonic misery . I am still,on pureed diet with minimal natural Fiber to it, I am getting every day older, well known fact, ageing colons are sluggish and my colon is perfectly happy to stuff and cram until,i get full and then refuses to push things out spontaneously. It thinks it can visit Myrtle Beach or First Lauderdale, but I'm stuck moaning here in Ohio. And after my journey to local hospital for the Milk and Molasses enema,😅oh stop giggling😅 , I literally lost 4.5 pounds. I'm sure in the medical notes it says something like "Lady arrived full,of it, successful evacuation of colon contents" much rather have it say " Frustr8 is a lovely lady and an absolute joy to visit here!" but you know it would be the first. not the nicey one!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
