Encouragement for stalls



Recommended Posts

I had surgery back in June and the longest stall I've had was about 5 days. Until the past two weeks. I stayed at the same weight for 10 days and was kind of going crazy because I felt like I was doing everything right. Well, on day 11 I lost a pound, on day 12 I lost another one, and this morning, day 13 another one.

I was hoping this might be an encouragement to anyone stuck in a stall... just stay on the plan, keep going and try to stay positive. If you are following the food plan, you will lose weight (especially if you're still early in the process).

Hang in there and focus on what you have control over... the food that goes into your mouth and the exercise you do. The weight will fall in place.

I've stalled for three months at a time. I played head games trying to decide whether I needed a fill or not... having the fill usually got me moving rapidly in the right direction. For me, it was ticking to the diet, exercising daily, and making sure I did the three month follow visits to my doctor's office.

      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?
