SarahBeth started following 3 day stall already at 21 days out?, Never Full! and In need of a support budddy!
-
I am starting to get a little worried. I have not been doing well lately, and I feel like I am failing! It has been almost a month since the scale moved, and I know it is because I haven't been doing the things I should be doing. I am worried I will go back to my old habits & to make it worse...I do not get feelings of fullness anymore!!! Has anyone else ever had this problem? What did you do to get back on track and kick bad habits!?
-
I feel like I need someone to keep my on track when I am tempted to cheat -___- it has been hard lately.

I am currently 4.5 months post-op and I have lost 80lbs. I lost most of that weight in the first 2-3 months, and for the last several weeks I have just been STUCK! I am getting so defeated and discouraged. I don't know what I am doing wrong or what to do to jump start my weight loss again! I don't want to stop losing weight, but I don't know what i am doing wrong!? Did anyone else have this problem!? How did you get past it. This has been a serious stall that's lasted almost 2 months!

3 day stall already at 21 days out?
SarahBeth replied to mommashari's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think it depends on the person & their personal progress so far....I personally used to consider a stall to be no weight loss in 3+ days because I typically saw the number on the scale dropping on a daily basis. However, as I get further out, it is common for me to notice weight loss every 2-4 days... so now I consider a stall 1 week without loss. -

SarahBeth replied to mommashari's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was the same way. I knew there would be stalls, but I wasn't emotionally prepared to look at the scale and see the same number for 4-7 days straight! It is REALLY hard, but it will pass A lot of people have experienced a bigger loss in inches during weight stalls...so there is a silver lining Keep doing what you're doing...this too shall pass. -
SarahBeth started following B12, B50 complex, Just had surery on th 25th, This stall might kill me! and and 2 others

That is TOTALLY normal!! The first few days are definitely the hardest, but you'll figure things out soon enough. I had the same experience with my tastes! before surgery I LOVED crystal light, and now it is way too sour/sweet for me. After a few weeks I was basically back to normal in terms of taste. I don't remember having much problems with drinking water, but I know I definitely didn't get enough fluid or protein....but you have to listen to your body and do the best you can!!! Best of luck to you! -
Insurance declined. Must self pay - who else has?
SarahBeth replied to rlm34's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I too was self pay, and I don't regret it for a minute. It does put a little added pressure to lose weight, but I think it is a great motivation to not give up! It is truly a life-changing operation and it's worth every penny! -
This stall might kill me!

Thank you ladies all so much for the wonderful advice & words of encouragement. Sometimes it just helps knowing I'm not going through this alone!!! Definitely need to do a better job of putting things in perspective...my new favorite way of thinking is: Well what would that scale say if I hadn't gone through with the surgery!? I would have been even heavier than before I'm sure! -
I know it's completely normal to have periods of no weight loss. I know everyone goes through it, but I feel like I've been stuck at this weight FOREVER & it's starting to freak me out!!!!!!!!!!! Any advice suggestions!? Sometimes I think I just need to be told "It's normal!" I am 2.5 months post-op & have lost 65lbs so far....is that good!? Should I be losing more!?
-
I am now officially 2 months post-op and I have lost 55 pounds. I am very happy, but now I am starting to feel guilty every time I eat. I'm at the point now where I can basically have anything, but every time I eat I feel so bad about myself. I don't know why....has anyone else experienced this?
-
I believe it is OK to take them together, but double check with your surgeon to be 100% sure!

My family was the same way...they felt really guilty eating in front of me. At first it was really hard for me to watch them enjoy foods I knew I would probably never eat again, but 1 month post-op and I don't care at all about what others are eating! I just told my mom that food wasn't important to me anymore and I didn't mind being around food I couldn't have. She is still leery to eat around me, but I just continue to reinforce the idea that I'm OK with it. Your husband means well!!

I am three weeks post-op & I am freaking out a little bit. I went to my surgeon's office a week ago & had lost a total of 30lbs, but I weighed myself today (a week later) AND I HAVEN'T LOST ANY WEIGHT! OMG!? What is going on? Is this normal!? I guess 30lbs in 3 weeks is good, but I just wasn't expecting to not lose weight this early on! PLEASE someone else tell me this happened to them & I am normal. I am seriously so down on myself right now. Am I doing something wrong????????? Am I going to be able to succeed...or is this just ANOTHER failure. AH!

I'm 5 days post-op & I'm starting to get a little worried! I don't have any feelings of fullness! I sip on liquids throughout the day & around mealtimes I usually have 2oz of jello & 1/2 protein shake (still on a full liquid diet), but I never feel 'full'! Should I be having feelings of fullness, or is it too soon? I'm also really afraid of stretching out my pouch! When did you have your first real feeling of fullness?
