Such a thing as a two week stall?



Recommended Posts

I had a three week stall. It was super frustrating. I cried. I was super b*&$thy and then it suddenly I started losing steadily.

Be patient.

Stalls come with the territory. Don't sweat it and try not to obsess about it. I'm currently in one (another one) myself at about 9 weeks post-op. Hang in there!

Did anything change in your diet at the same time ? New food types introduced?

I think a lot of us are losing during pre & post op weeks at a great rate due to being in calorie deficit as well as in a state of ketosis.

Then we go and add pureed stuff that maybe takes us out of ketosis.....depending what it is we add to the diet.

Our bodies fuel type changes....things occur.

I've hit the dreaded 3 week stall as well. I just keep plugging away. I hear it takes your body time to kind of catch up and get used to the changes.

I had a stall on weeks 2-3!! I started losing again this week!

It is frustrating but won't last forever!

From what I've read in various post here, what we call the "three week stall" generally happens sometime between two and four weeks out. This also seems to be the only stall we don't need to do anything to get out of. Just wait it out.

      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?
