Stalled for 2 weeks



Recommended Posts

Ugh. I know this is normal but of course I am being irrational. 2 weeks no loss. Will I ever lose aging? Am I done? Did I break my sleeve? Ok I'm done now. Just needed to express it here because you all understand. So close to onderland. Grr.

You know the drill, are you getting your Protein? your fluids? your exercise? if so keep at it. if not go for it. You will lose again!

I'll echo Bronco0605 and add that I was sleeved about a month before you and I've seen a pattern of stalls. I have been meticulous about getting my Protein and Water every day since surgery. I've been less meticulous but "good" about maintaining my exercise regime, but even on weeks where I'm at the gym every morning and eating almost the same food every day, I'll go 5 days with no weight loss and then all of a sudden lose a pound a day for 2 days. Then back to a plateau. What has helped keep me motivated during those spells? I put my weight on the calendar every day and I concentrate on what the month looks like instead of each day or week. Even if I've only lost a little each month, I look at those numbers as "in the past". And look at how much you've lost already! Keep going!

And I am stalled for 5 weeks, but keep on keeping on. The one this a stall is NOT: It is NOT an excuse to quit. So I'm with you Claire, let's go!!!

Stalls are normal. Most people don't lose in a straight line but in stair steps. Just hang in there, stick with your program and you'll be fine!

I have a pattern it seems. I'll lose 7 to 10 lbs a week, then lose nothing for a week or two, then I'll lose like 2 to 3 lbs and then 7 to 10. Never fails. Doesn't make it any less frustrating though!! When I'm not losing I keep track of how many inches I lose. Cause i always notice it there :) Sometimes your body has to adjust to the loss. When it does this it tends to hold onto to Water making it look as though you are not losing, or maybe even gaining. Eventually you'll rid that Water and drop! At least that's what I do. I always know when I'm about drop weight I have to pee a lot!

Hi almost similar

While i notice that il loose inches first before pounds. Sometimes nothing for a week or 2. Then a few pounds lost. But not 10 pounds.

But I (go to the bathroom a lot ) then I know the scale is going to be moving.

      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?
