Hi, May 5th wls people or others really close to that date. I am wondering about your weight loss, how quick is the weight coming off and have you got to a point yet that the weight loss has almost stopped. I am asking because i am not sure if i am doing something wrong. For the last week or maybe a little longer i have not lost but 2 lbs and that comes and goes from day to day. Thanks for your input, Debra

Thank you Heidi for sharing that with me because that is what my weight is doing. I was getting depressed thinking maybe i was doing something wrong, or that the wls was not working right and that i may have to get a revision. This makes me feel a little better. Debra

You're welcome...I have been eating mostly LF cottage cheese and non fat yogurt which I think are slider foods.(?)...I need to graduate to other proteins such as chicken and fish..

Debra, I had surgery on May 14th and I have lost as of yesterday 31 pounds. When I hit the three weeks mark I slowed down as well. The support group I go to said that 3 week and 7 week and 3 months you will hit plateaus.So I expeced it. They did say push harder on exercise and it will help you get through it faster.Hope this helps. Tammy

Hi! A stall around 3-4 weeks is pretty normal, your body goes into starvation mode and refuses to lose anymore...just ride it out and keep doin what you're doin and it will pass! FYI, I lost 28 pounds in 20 days and then totally stalled for two weeks, I am just starting to see a little movement again! Don't worry!

I am a May 5ther and haven't stalled yet. I know, I know, don't hate me. I am down 23 pounds since surgery, and 36 total. I like this slow and steady without a stall. I probably just jinxed myself and will stall now. I just need to regulate my bowels and things will be fine I hope.
