Jenngottaloseit did you have any underlined medical issues?

[jenngottaloseit 89]

I have sleep apnea. And really bad knees and back pain. I am only 29 so luckily I haven't gotten all the co morbid things like diabetes or hypertension

[jenngottaloseit 89]

I have no liver disease or anything

[joesiron7 9]

Have you talked to Dr.Ahuja about how long he thinks your procedure will take?

[jenngottaloseit 89]

He hasn't really said and I didn't think to ask. I just keep eating less than 600 calories a day and exercising to try and lose as much as I can

[jenngottaloseit 89]

Lost ten more pounds finally broke the stall

[sophie'sChoice 269]

Yay you! Keep up the good work! How long was your stall?

[jenngottaloseit 89]

it wasn't too long about 10-12 days or so but it seemed like months. I am pre-op still and just been working so hard to lose enough so that my liver will shrink. I am hoping it will be ok.

[sophie'sChoice 269]

Keep it up.....you are doing great. The same sort of thing happens after surgery too (I'm stalled now) but I heAr that's common. Keep the faith, I'm cheering for you!

Don't give up ! ( There is always stalls time to time)

Its ALL worth it!

It will pay off in the long run : )
