**HELP 3 week stall 2 months post op!
Hi Jan,
Your DS will work and you will lose weight. You are just in a "catch up" phase where your body is readjusting to the weight lost. I know what it is like to have no appetite. That caused me a fair amount of despair during my first 5 months or so. I remember when my stomach "woke up", to use Val G's words. Your appetite will return. In the mean time, you just need to put something in it every 3 hours or so. Just something small - a couple spoons of yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. Good for you for getting your water and protein in. You really are doing amazingly well.

I went through the same thing at a month out. I just seemed to be fighting with the same reading on the scale for like 2 weeks! I just allowed myself to eat some carbs and it started up about half way through the third week. I am now able to eat a lot more and you will get there too. Another thing was I know I was still loosing inches when I wasn't loosing pounds. I am sure you are also. Start taking measurments and you can see if that's true. I need an actual number to tell me I am loosing! LOL
Hey darlin...I can't think of anything else to say that these awesome people already haven't, but you are doing AWESOME! Trust your DS....it will work for you! I stalled too for 3 weeks, just like the majority of people...it sucked and it was a downer, but don't worry, it will pick up...you are doing great!!! Keep doing what you do, lady!
