Made 5 weeks yesterday and hit the dreaded stall. Even tho I knew in my head this will happen eventually and probably more than once....I got a bit emotional ...it didn't help reading about some folks having all this energy when I'm struggling . I'm feeling better and nausea is getting so much better and I'm keeping food down. Going to pick up the pace a bit with my exercise and cross my fingers it works. Loaded up at the commissary today with different type of proteins that might change up things and help with my intake.

Try some sugar free Popsicles. Might help. Even with the nausea I've had..I can handle the Popsicles pretty well. Maybe it would help some

It's always been like that for me..any weight I lost was usually in the summer..I'm using sugar free Popsicles now as my extra fluids. I had also bought a icee machine for my son and I have found several bottles of the sugar free "syrup" lol liquids..and it's great! I have blue raspberry and some Hawaiian punch and I'm digging it now! My son even likes the sugar free.

Mine is more I feel the heat & humidity just zaps me so I don't want to eat. Have to force the fluids and then some tho cause I live in FL. I'm always hot and sweating. I'd love my "side effect" of wls to be feeling cold all the time but nope. So..yes the heat makes it harder to eat & perhaps makes nausea I've had worse

Thank u!

So I really need to vent a bit. I started at a new clinic today at the Air Force medical hospital I work at. I had prided myself by being all prepared and was feeling pretty great and had went almost 2 days without vomiting..I was super pepped as I had weighed this morn my 1 mo post op and was down 25.3lb!!! I get to work and I am working in pediatrics. I have worked many areas including er,surgery, and hospice..I'm a nurse and have saw some pretty awful things!!! I am brand new meeting my coworkers and the dr I'm working for today and around 11 I go in with the dr and another coworker to assist with a circumcision. Well the baby is crying and finally numbed up and I am trying to comfort and soothe the baby. Idk if it was the heat, the sheer horror of what I was seeing being done to the baby,bending over to the table to comfort the baby for so long..or just dehydration but I made it to the very end of of procedure and fainted!!! I remember feeling lightheaded and my vision blurred and I was in a sweat And I was embarrassed And didn't want to say anything. I kept trying to breathe thru it and remain calm and just be professional. I remember saying something like .." I don't feel so good" and then I came to in a chair. Apparently I managed to get it out and was heard by the coworker and he was able to grab me before I hit the floor and drug me to a chair. I am utterly horrified. Embarrassed!!! There's not enough words to describe how upset and embarrassed I am cause I feel it made me look like a weak nurse!!! My very 1st day and I swear I can't make this crap up!! I don't think it was a huge thing then talked about but I'm sure I had a few snickers. Just horrified..anyways..there was my day and tomorrow we leave on a road trip so I can kinda hope it won't be as fresh next week when I go back...hope everyone else had a better day!!!!!

Well I hope it works out for u.. Sounds like he's off to a good start!!!

Yes Zofran has become my constant companion!! It's getting better now that I've went back to protein and broth and seems to be working. Fingers crossed.

Thank u!!!

It must be some kinda adjustment phase that occurs around this timeframe perhaps? I'm seeing several folks say this too. I've managed 2 days now without vomiting. Staying on my Zofran for awhile and gonna do more protein shakes til I feel stable.

That's awesome

Thank u for that...I'm just having a pride issue. fortunately the dr I was with was very nice and didn't seem put out. He did tell me I wasn't the 1st I just hate it was my 1st day .. I'm such a perfectionist and very prideful

Looking good!!!!! Btw I'm still learning this app. Idk how to add pics on here cause I took one today to send to family out of state to show I'm down 1/2 a chin and hopefully getting closer to one!!!

I truly hope so!!! I do feel like I will have to prove myself a bit more

I think I was a little low this morn but for the most part I've been pretty good at forcing the fluids even when I don't want to
