Surgery done August 4th, stalling again. PLEASE ANSWER VERY DESPERATE



Recommended Posts

Is anyone stalling again? I'm stalling at 167 pounds I've lost 48.4 pounds so far. I had my surgery on August 4th, I've stalled once in the 3 week stall, but I really want to lose 33 more pounds maximum!! Idk if I could do it in 5 months! Is it the way I'm eating? I eat everything but in small amounts some days healthy some days not. I still eat carbs, but still get my Protein in. I don't track calories but I have not gained any weight, and some days I eat nothing and other days I eat a pretty good amount.

So is anyone else stalling? And do you think it's possible/logical to lose 33 more pounds in 5 months?

What do you guys suggest!

I just had mine 12/21 but I was on a strict low carb high Protein regiment prior to surgery and will be again. You might try to reset and do what worked in the beginning. Low carbs seems to be the key for me, I'm not sure about others. Hope you kick those 33 pounds to the curb.

Well, first I suggest you start tracking your food and Fluid intake. And I mean track - measure, don't guess. It sounds as though you don't have a clear idea of what you should eat or how much. You should have gotten that preop from your surgeon, NUT, or RD.

Second, are you exercising? How much?

Third, stop trying to set your bar for success based on this many lbs in that amount of time. Focus on goals you have control over, like whether you exercise a certain number of minutes each week or track your intake X days out of seven.

Scientific principle: You cannot control that which you do not measure.

Also, stalls are like lovers. Your first will probably not be your last.

I excersize every other day, with classes such as spinning and going to the gym, sometimes I can't for weeks because of exams or because I went on vacation, but overall I'm not sitting on my ass all day you know?

      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.
