bandita 16 Posted September 13, 2012 Yes i have read a thousand posts on the commonality of stalls. I started my journey on aug 13 th and surgery was on aug 27th. I am down a total of 23 lbs of which 9 have been post surgery. I am at 235.5...235.5....235.5....235.5....235.5....235.5 i am going to pull my hair out. I put the scale away...but that only lasted for a day. I am using fitness pal and getting right around 800 cal a day, i started walking a little but still to afraid and weak to work up a sweat. If this stall doesnt break soon....i just might! UGH!!!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MG in SD 75 Posted September 13, 2012 You will be ok. It's only been a couple of weeks since surgery for you and things will start moving. I tried to keep away from the scale as much as I could the first few weeks. At first, you are bloated from surgical gasses, then your body acclamates, and then you lose! Stay positive, it works. I promise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giselle3264 175 Posted September 13, 2012 If you're getting all your fluids, getting your Protein in the range it needs to be, watching your carbs level, and keeping the sodium in check, I suggest you give the walking a bit more effort. You don't have to work up a sweat immediately but keep building the speed and distance. The exercise will actually help you not feel so weak. Good luck and keep us posted!

Doreykn 113 Posted September 13, 2012 Between the Vitamins & walking it does help with the energy... It takes time, but when you start to lose, it does come off fast. Just follow ALL the drs, orders... Get your fluids & Protein in & WALK, WALK, WALK.... Can't stress that enough! Good luck & don't be discouraged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
