I would definitely mention this to your primary care/gynecologist. Could be unrelated to the surgery. TMI.....Im actually enjoying it again as Mr. can find his way down there much easier with less fat rolls!

Welcome and good luck on your journey! i would definitely wait till after Disneyland! Your endurance will be lessened after surgery. I took FMLA and ran out of PTO so also was getting paid with Short term disability.

I have crazy hormones but did not experience a stall for that long. I dont think it is just hormones. Your thyroid could be a culprit. I would look more into that. My longest stall was 2 weeks. I would talk to a different nutritionist who is also specializing in post weight loss eating. I am almost 5 months post op and only eat about 700 calories a day. I'm not a Dr so i cant give you medical advice, but i can give you support and say what i believe is true, stick with the program, get your thyroid right and im sure you will start losing again. Good luck, i know it is super frustrating but the surgery was not for nothing. Do you log what you eat? I use the Baritastic app and i love it. Are you eating a variety of veggies, fruits etc? Believe it or not but my dietician said i was not eating enough carbs. When i stalled, i cheated eating in a bad way (only for about a week) at the suggestion of someone else on this forum and I think it broke the stall! I also started taking a pre/probiotic by Celebrate brand. It is called Celebrate Balance. It is specially formulated for weight loss. I hope you can figure this out but until then keep your head up and keep fighting. You are bound to start losing weight again.

Make sure you are getting enough fluids in as well. Your wife is right, it will take time for you to build up your endurance. Congrats on the weight loss so far!!!

That is awesome!! Good luck!

Good luck on your surgery and journey to a new better you! As far as telling people, i told everybody!! Some people are not that open though. Tell whoever you wish and if you dont want to tell others and they ask you about your weight loss after surgery just tell them you are eating less and watching what you eat.... that is the truth after all right?! I wish you much success on your journey!

i work in the medical field and it seems more often than not many conditions are discovered while undergoing testing, surgery etc that is totally unrelated to what you originally went in for! So happy for you that those nasty things were found before they caused you a problem!!!

i agree.....TMI....my area down there is easier for Mr. to get to 🤣

My stall finally broke! I’m 4.5 months out of GSV surgery and have lost 62 lbs. Someone on here once mentioned to cheat and eat a few more carbs. I did that and I started consuming more calories and my 2 week stall finally broke. Don’t know how much the carbs had to do with it but I think I was consuming so few calories that my body was in starvation mode. Upped the calories to about 700/day and that worked! I know we are all afraid to overeat or consume too many calories, but make sure you are consuming enough!!

Congratulations!!!

woohoo!! Congratulations!

My mom said the same thing, she told me i could do it on my own. I kept telling her I could not and would not lose 110lbs on my own. I finally had to be blunt with her and tell her to get over it because i was doing the surgery. She has been supportive now. Don't let anyone else tell you what to do. You know what you have to do and if that is surgery as a tool to help you lose the weight then go for it. We are all very supportive so if you feel like you do not have a good support system then just come here to this forum. We will support you!!!!

i think you are doing spectacular and are so inspirational. Congratulations to you on your weight loss journey and going ahead to pursue your dreams! You are a weight loss hero in my eyes!!!! By the way, i noticed awhile ago you changed your profile picture, and you look fantastic!!!!

Way to go on losing 32lbs! Sounds good to me. I know your frustration though. I am 4.5 months out and have lost almost 60lbs but I have been "stuck" at 172 for about 2 weeks. UGH! I have had a couple stalls here and there but none that lasted this long. It is aggravating but as everyone always says, stick with the plan and your stall will come to an end and you will lose more weight. Congratulations on your weight loss journey so far!

First of all congrats on taking the first step to a new and improved you! Those feelings are all normal to have prior to surgery. Just focus on all of the positive changes the surgery will have on your body and life! I was not nervous, instead I was very excited to get the journey started! Bring something from home that gives you comfort such as a favorite blanket, stuffed animal, small pillow etc. Good luck to you!

No worries, let's agree to move on 😉 Nothing but love and support here

Welcome to our group! Good luck with your surgery and journey towards a better you!!!

No need for attitude NewtoThis, this is not a forum for attitude. I was merely stating what my major airline did/did not do, and i worked there for 30+ years as an agent. I just didnt want this post op patient to be surprised when they board the plane. I agree with you, better to check the bags and then no worries about lifting.

i used to work for an airline and neither agents nor flight attendants will lift your bag into the overhead bin. Its not that they don't want to, but that they have sustained too many injuries by doing so. They will probably offer to check your carry on bag in at the gate prior to boarding without charging you, then you will not have to worry about lifting your bag. Also, not all airports have a cart service, but they will definately have wheelchair service if you need it.

Congrats on going to rehab and continuing your weight loss journey.💗

i agree.....TMI....my area down there is easier for Mr. to get to1 🤣

ugh that is so frustrating. Keep moving in a positive ( or is it negative) 🤣 direction! As long as you are still losing even though it is slow, you are still losing.

Ms.sss you are my inspiration! I am 5'1'', 54 years old, and started at 230lbs. I had VSG on 4/12/2023. My current weight is 172.4. I agree with you on the eating, similar experiences with those foods as well. I hope i have as much success as you did at losing weight!

I finally found my bones......my hip bones, my ribs, my collar bone, and my ankles!!!
