I had a lot of acid reflux the first 3 months. It has died down to nothing now. Thank goodness! It was pretty bad and I never had it pre-op. The strange things our bodies do! Hugs J

I had my surgery 11/7/05. This past month my weight loss has slowed down to almost nothing, but I am still losing inches. I think that this is normal at 4 months post op, based on other postings I have read.

Topic: RE: voice change
I am also just now 4 months out and have been terribly hoarse for over 2 months as well. NO clue what it is. I don't think it's acid reflux. I've been waiting for weeks and the soonest appointment I could get in to see an ENT is for April 6th. Hopefully, I'll know more then. I have a constant feeling of a very slight amount of phlegm in my throat at all times. Sometimes when I "clear" my throat, it improves my voice, but at other times I go to speak and no sound comes out. I'm really concerned that something was damaged with me during surgery. My breathing tube was left in far too long.

I have the exact same surgery date, and I'm having the same problem!

Topic: voice change
Hello I am 4 months out and my voice has been hoarse for 2 months. I talked with my doc and she thinks it may be acid reflux. What is your idea? Is it normal? I may have to see a ENT for a scope of the vocal cords if prilosec doesn't help. THANK YOU Angel

I had an 8 week stall. Just finally coming out of it. Surgery was 11/7/05, did great thru Christmas, then nothing until the first week of March when I was down 12 lbs. The only thing I did was increase my water ****il I feel like I'm floating away....) and increase the exercise. I hope that doesn't happen again real soon, it is depressing. Total loss now is 70 lbs. since surgery, 84 total. We couldn't have done that without the surgery, and hopefully it will continue on the downward spiral!

Topic: RE: 4 Months out - 1 Lb a week!
I guess we need to be patient and keep in mind that we all WILL get to our goal. I too, have stalled and wi**** would come off quicker, but I see I am not alone in this. Maybe the earth is at a weird angle and has halted our progress temporarily. LOL anyhow, lets all give ourselves a pat on the back for a job well done. Love and Hugs, Melannie

Samantha; I had a three week stall around -55 lbs. I think after losing that much weight so fast, our bodies just need to adjust for a few weeks. Increase your water, that will help. Also, your protein is good, are you maybe eating too many carbs? You didn't say what your carb count is averaging. Blessings, Jennifer 253 / 187 / ???

Hi Samantha, I really don't have too much advice but I can say I am doing the same thing so you are not alone. I too have been on a stall for a month and i am depressed about it. They keep telling me to lose the most weight in the first 6 months becasue after the 6 months it slows down so much it scares me to think i only have less than 2 months to lose more weight then i am going to have to fight the rest off hard. I don't know if it is entirely tru but it makes me try harder. I have lost 89 pounds 20 a month then I only lost 10 last month. I wanted to lose 120 in 6 months but it may not happen. I am trying to think about the fact I feel much better and look better so I came a long way. They explain plateaus is your body cathching up on the weight loss and to hang in there the scale will move again. Your not alone email me anytime Angel

OK, ok, I'm trying to keep my patience and optimism up, but....you know the story. I've been stalled at between 50 and 55 pounds for 'forever'. 34 first month, about 12 second month, then 8 or so, and now in nothing in like a month! Relevant facts: 1) 'Could' be drinking more fluids, I know, but pretty sure I'm getting at least the minimum 2) per fitday.com, averaging around 90 - 95 grams protein per day 3) taking all vitamins, but iron tested low - about to start prescription 4) exercising 40 - 90 mins 5 days/week, including 60-90 mins with strength training at gym 3 days/week. (I know there is that old thing about muscle vs. fat, but....c'mon!) 5) seem to have lost maybe 3/4" in hips, but that's about it Someone besides my barix please remind me that this can be normal????!!! (Or give tips - I've got the plateau-buster info, but don't want to go that route this 'soon' - I don't think.)
