YEA got passed the first stall.



Recommended Posts

I wanted to share some hope for people who might be frustrated. There are many people who have the sleeve who did not have as much weight to lose as others. Like myself. I started at 221 did the two week pre op diet and was down to 209...Today I am at 176. 175 in the am. I was stuck for 4 weeks at 181-183. I was very upset. I started wondering if I had messed up. Was this it? Then all of the sudden I stepped on the scale and there it was 179. Two days later 177 and today two more days later 176. I did increase my Protein with a Meal Replacement. The Bariatric Advantage. I cannot stand anything else. Makes me physicaly ill. I have been attending weight loss meetings but am the only sleever. It still helps. I guess the point is don't give up and don't start eating poorly when you stall. If you do,it is sabotage. Keep at the protein and remember your body needs time to play catch up. I am so excited to see the move. I look forward to reaching my goal by October. If anyone wants someone to report to and has a similar goal/time frame I would be happy to help.. I have my 20 year reunion. I will make my goal..Thanks to everyone who shares and posts such supportive information. You are a large part of the success. :)

This is really inspiring to someone like me who has been in a stall for almost 3 weeks now. If feels like it's been forever since I've lost anything and I couldn't be more frustrated. You shown me there a light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks and congrats on your success!

Thanks for sharing. I had surgery on June 8th and lost 22 pounds in less than 4 weeks and then nothing. If I can just get past this first stall I'll get it in my head that this works and be fine. When I had the band I don't remember stalls bugging me so I don't know why I'm frustrated this time around. I want that dumb scale to stop saying 208.2 every dang morning :-).

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
