I am 11 wks out and down 35lbs but haven't lost any weight in almost 3 weeks! I get in all my Protein and supplements but haven't developed a good exercise routine yet... Anyone else experience stalls..? Is it just the lack of exercise or are intermittent stalls normal? Thanks! ????

Stalls are a normal part of the process. It's just your body getting used to the weight loss and reduced calories. I just got past a 3 week stall as of today. But for the past 3 months, I've had at least 1 two week stall per month.

And I'll freak out, thinking, "Is this it? Is my weight loss over?" But I keep on working my diet and exercise program and the weight loss starts again.

Yes, I have been freaking out.. I've been thinking to myself "did I put myself (and my pocketbook) through this for 35lbs?!"

Agreed. I have been in a stall for 2 weeks but I noticed that the more I work out the better it gets. I actually waited to start working out once I stalled so it would pick back up faster. Just make sure to stick to your fluids, move at least a little, even if it's just a walk, and focus on those portions :) My worst part was snacks...I love chips or crackers for Snacks but I switched to fruit or cheese sticks and they're comfortably filling.

Eating a slice of avocado a day got me out of my stall!! Not sure what it is about that stuff but it worked for me. Worth a shot!

stalls are the worst... but I notice that when I'm in a stall, I still lose inches!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
