Angela 9 Posted October 25, 2012 So I'm 4 weeks post op tomorrow and have lost 22 lbs. I have been stuck at this weight for a week. Quite frustrating! I know 22lbs is a great achievement but it seems like such a slow go. Just had to vent! 1 Cheryl Barfoot reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

babygirl901 173 Posted October 25, 2012 I just broke my second stall. It's normal. Increasing, Protein, exercise and calories usually helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carike 3 Posted October 25, 2012 I am almost 7weeks and been stuck for 3weeks now.....only lost 13kg. It's seriously frustrating!! I want to scream!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aNuMe 59 Posted October 25, 2012 I thought I was the only one nmy weight loss is moving very slowly and a friend says ur dr is expecting u to have lost at least 50lbs since ur surgery, by my one month visit. Thats nuts to me I mean I lost 40lbs so far since I started the liquid diet and surgery. My friend keeps comparing her surgery from over four yrs ago with mine, drives me crazy our situations could not be more different. Ive lost 22lbs since my surgery two weeks ago.

Anniesmom12 181 Posted October 25, 2012 I too am going nuts with a stall !!! I stalled for 1 1/2 weeks then lost a few pounds...now stalled again!!! Driving me NUTS!! I am doing all I can....just gotta wait and let my body adjust I guess. I want to be down at least 75lbs if not more by my next appt Dec 13th...that will be 4 months post op. I will increase my Protein, exercise and try more water....although i could float now! Good luck to all the others with stalls.... hoping they break soon! 2 Cheryl Barfoot and babygirl901 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBdoodle 483 Posted October 25, 2012 I am 6+ months post op and was in a stall for a month and a half without the scale moving at all !!!!! I increased the time and intensity of my exercise and the scale is on the move again My clothes were getting loose but the scale was not moving. But I'm good now and out of the slump Hang in there, change some things around, and get it moving again. 2 babygirl901 and kristy3k reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angela 9 Posted October 25, 2012 So I saw the surgeon today. He told me that patients that are converted from a band to rny don't get as great of weightloss compared to patients that have rny to start! Apparently with the band my metabolism has been slowed and will continue to stay that way unless I exercise more. My dietician also said that my average of 80-90 grams of Protein is too much. So now she wants me to stick to 60 grams. We will see if this helps with the stall! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kiwiladydee 402 Posted October 26, 2012 I am at a huge stall- really nothing moving for about 3 weeks and I can tell my appetite is increasing. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find my self eating more like grabbing extra pretzel. Not eating the real food I eat healthy in that way but I'm snacking grabbing a piece of cheese or cracker all the time. I need to stop that lmbo. I do feel slimmer this week. I might have broke the stall let's see Monday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

medicmommy 19 Posted October 27, 2012 I am 10 days out, was doing good then 4 days ago hit 217.5 only to have been stuck here! I am getting really mad that it's not moving!!! I can't work out but have been walking I can say I'm not getting my 60-80 grams of Protein bc it makes me so queasy. I am however trying to supplement with food as possible. Idk I really hope this starts moving again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
