Hi:chores016:
I just wanted to wish you luck for all that's ahead. You've got such a powerful reason to succeed with it. I'm so sorry that you lost your little boy.
I'm a newbie too, so unfortunately I can't give you much advice! I'm having the balloon inserted on monday, (ARGHHHHH), & getting nervous now!

Take care

Hi and welcome. So sorry to hear about your loss.
It is normal for your weight loss to stall in the beginning, as your body goes into stavation mode. This is where it thinks it isn't gonna get much more fuel (food) and so holds on to what is already there. Keep up the good, hard, work and your body will learn that food will keep coming, just less of it, and you'll notice the weight slip away.
Best of luck with your weight loss journey, and best wishes for a healthy, happy future. xx

Hi and welcome to this friendly and informative site.

Sorry I can't advise you about the weight loss as I am only one week post op at the moment myself, but I am sure that some of the other memebers would be able to give you their thoughts.

Welcome on board and good luck with all your future plans honey. xx

Hi and welcome from me too . I too have exactly the same problem as yourself in that I lost really well in the first two weeks but nothing at all in week three. Thankfully thanks to the advice on here my mind has been put as rest and I just hope that my body starts to behave very soon and starts losing weight again

I was so sorry to hear about your loss of your little baby. I wish you all the very best for the future sweetheart

Hi, I have had a couple of "stalls" but then just as I was thinking "see, told you it wouldnt work for me" - there goes another half stone!! You cant help but lose with this op - just a matter of being patient! You wont believe you even wrote those words in another 4 weeks and you suddenly look in a mirror and see how your body is changing!! Good luck!!
