Recommended Posts

Hello!! I am 3 1/2 months post-op, and have been losing weight consistently, maybe 6 days max, I have stalled but nothing major. But now...... its been 3 weeks!!!!!!! Ive increased Protein, more Water, more meals less meals, and so on and nothing. I work out twice a day and so I also wonder if its that! I feel like I am going to stay like this forever! has anyone been through a 3 month stall?! what did u do?

I had a stall at almost 4 months out and it lasted 7 weeks, just be patient as you can and it will pass!

It happens to everyone. Your body is just trying to hold on to your weight because your calories are low and it thinks your starving. It can't hold on for long. I have stalled 3 times on 6 months for 1-4 weeks. Just came off of my last 3 week stall and boom...I lost 3 lb in 3 days (this Friday, Saturday, and today). Just keep doing your diet and workouts. It will kick into gear.

You're not alone. I was sleeved on 5/30 and doing great. Then along comes July 24th and NO MORE WEIGHT LOSS!!!! I have been stuck at 273-275 since then. Finally I called the nutritionist out of desperation. He said my body was in shock and thought it was starving to death with the rapid weight loss, restricted calories and aggressive workouts. "Just stick to the plan." (Darn it! I wanted a "fix").

Well, today I weighed 271. I'm praying that this is my body figuring it out!!! Good luck! Hopefully that scales budges soon.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
