If you look through out all these forums you will read about the infamous 3-4 week stall. It happens, Stick to what your docs are telling you. This works. Stick to your program and youll be fine.

Yup! Most of us have a stall around the time you start introducing more and more solids. Make sure you focus on your Protein and Water goals, walk and exercise when allowed, and follow your guidelines. The stall seems scary but if you work the program, the program works for you!

Yep, What the posters above have said. It’s a common frustrating experience. This is an old link on stalls. You are not alone in this experience.

      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.
