Behind every success is effort...Behind every effort is passion...Behind every passion is someone with the courage to try.

Wowww.... I see that I am not alone. I was beginning to wonder if I had chosen the wrong WLS. I too have STALLED. I get all of my water and protein in and walk, however I haven't lost any weight since week 1 and I am now on week 3.
I went to my doctor today and got a chance to speak with my bariatric nurse as well. She said that I need to up my calories. I currently get about 500 calories a day, so she said that's the problem. She said I need to be around 1000 calories a day and mild exercising.
I am going to try and up my calories from now on and see if that helps. Some consistent advice that I've received is "IT WILL EVENTUALLY COME OFF", and "DON'T BE A SLAVE TO THE SCALE". She assured me that even if I may not see a change on the scale, I am losing inches.
Good luck to everyone.

Fay - so sorry it's been so rough for you!
Maybe after my sleeve and some recovery time we could exercise some together since we're both Laurel girls!

No problem - I'm Polyanna anyway - you'll regret taking me up on the offer cause I'm always positive (drives my family nuts!)
