When did you stop losing?



Recommended Posts

I'm 2 months out and on a 3 week stall (not losing inches either) :( I'm exercising 7 days a week (I change up my routine). Eating strictly lean Protein, veggies & whole grains (600-800 calories daily). I get in all my fluids & protein and I take Bariatric Fusion Vitamins 3x a day. I journal everything. I'm not sure what more I can do. Surgery date 12/3/13 sw 230 cw 200. I'm terrified this is all I will lose. Open to any suggestions.

I'm only 11 days out and have been stalled the last week, oddly enough. I don't think there is any thing to do except keep on course

How intense is the exercising? Maybe you need to up your calories a little in case your in too much of a deficit (ie - starvation mode). I found that If I went to the gym 5+ days a week that my weight loss slowed compared to going every other day while on 800-1000 calories a day. I've found that this is what works for me.

You need to adjust your calorie intake until you notice a loss. You're most likely making your body go into stsrvation mode. Its not going to give up anythibg if it thinks you're starving.

Also.. I went through a 7 week stall.. it just happens sometimes. But dont starve.. change

For the 1st 9 months post-op, I panicked every time I hit a stall. Now I know that if I stick with my exercise and diet that worked before, it will work again. It just takes time for my body to adjust.

You will continue to lose weight, just stick to what you know works.

Very intense, sweating bullets, can't talk intense. I will try upping my intake. Easier said than done. Thanks guys!

You could try exercising less instead of eating more.

There are a great many reasons to exercise, weight loss might not be one of them.

      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?
