Stalling Sooner Than 3 Weeks...



Recommended Posts

Stall here too!! I was beginning to think I've been doing something off-plan.....but getting all my requirements (Protein and water). Surgery was June 14th and have post op appt tomorrow with my surgeon. Hoping to get some advice there. None the less...this is frustrating!! But I will follow the plan.

I am 1.5 week post-op and while I haven't stalled the lost has slowed down to 1lb/day where as before it was 2lbs a day. I've heard sooooo much about the stalls that I am expecting to run in to them at any point now. I have heard they are pretty normal and your lost should kick back in soon. Personally, I think this is just a resting phase for your body...its been through a lot so this is the bodies way of sayin "I need to take a rest".

So

I was completely prepared to deal with the unavoidable 3 week stall... But wasn't prepared that it may come sooner! Stalled out at about 1.5-2 weeks. Anyone else stall sooner than 3 weeks?

You have just had major surgery. You are swollen and full of IV fluids. You have not had time to have a stall.

Your primary focus right now is healing.

Until you are able to get in ALL of your fluids and Protein reliably, then it may be a very good idea to stay off the scale.

You need to focus on healing, rest, Fluid, Protein, walking, taking your Vitamins and supplements, and being gentle with yourself.

STAY OFF THE scale.< /p>

The weight loss will come.

Embrace the Stall

Happened to me sooner than three weeks, lasted about a week. Your body is trying to deal with what just happened. I'm 24 days post-op and down 17 lbs since surgery.

      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?
