My first stall :-(



Recommended Posts

I had bypass on 8/10 and I've lost 32 pounds. This week I've only lost one. It was my first week back at a desk job and I've worked out twice. I'm frustrated because everyone is telling me it's normal but I still feel bummed.

Plenty of posts on this subject, but it looks like you and I had are surgeries on the same day. I lost 24 pounds in the first 3 weeks post-op, but I've been stuck here since then, even gaining back 6 pounds. I'm a little disappointed too, but I've lost and gained weight so many times (before surgery) that I'm used to these stalls. Even on my pre-op diet I lost 30 pounds in a couple of months and then stalled out for three more months before dropping another 20-25 pounds right before my surgery (some of that aided by the clear liquid diet). Hang in there! I know I am! :)

I wouldn't consider a 1# loss a stall. Stalls are typically no losses over multiple weeks.

In weeks where I lost 1#, I typically came back the following week losing 4 or so. Keep at it, it'll happen!

If you are losing anything you are not in a stall. Your body needs time to breathe a little, give yourself a break!

      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?
