At a weight loss stand still



Recommended Posts

I will be 4 weeks post op this Wednesday. I am on puree at this time. I have lost 19 pounds since surgery, but I am at a stand still now. Have been for a week. Is this normal or should I be doing something different?

I am at same issue with just about same amount of wieghtloss except I am on soft foods. I was sleeved 3/10. I am fluctuating between a couple pounds. I had no energy and everything exhausted me up until last week. I find myself since Wednesday having more energy thankfully!

Stalls are perfectly normal. You can search "stall" on this forum and find tons of information.

My surgery was 11/14/13, so I'm almost 5 months out - I have stalled many times. My first one came between weeks 3 and 4 and I was so scared. I can understand. Just know it's perfectly normal and continue to follow your plan. Your body needs to try to figure out what you're doing AND you're still recovering from major surgery.

You're going to be fine. You got this!!!!!! :)

I'm 8 weeks out and Im going through my second or third stall. I know its normal but it sure does make me nervous. I was hoping for a steady drop in weight but its definitely start and stop and slow go.

      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?
