"The Stall" has lifted!



Recommended Posts

So, I went about 2 and a half weeks with no weight loss. Thank goodness I read that it is perfectly normal, or else I would have been driving myself crazy! I decided I was going to stay off of the scale for a week, and when I weighed myself this morning, I had lost 4 more lbs. Needless to say, I was very happy, since October 3rd I have lost 37 lbs!!! We can all do this, and we are here for each other!!!

Congrats!! I'm in a stall right now but I'm on my period, I also have advanced to solid foods so I'm eating more and blah blah blah. I'm glad that I've read so much about the stalls so that I'm not freaking out. lol! I think I'm lucky, this is only my first stall!

Just remember this feeling when the next stall happens! For most of us, it isn't one and done.

Yes, I hear it is quite normal to go through a few of them. I learned not to worry, as long as I am following my diet, because I can see the inches melt off. I think we get so worried about what the scale says, we don't pay attention to what the clothes show. I am fitting into clothing I have not been able to even fit passed my shoulders in YEARS. It's just unreal, to know that as long as I do not allow myself to stray, my loose clothing can go bye-bye forever.

      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?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
