Good morning everyone!

Being a medical professional I understand weight loss and plateaus in others, BUT, after going to such great lengths to lose weight myself I find myself getting a bit ticked at my own stall six weeks post roux en y. I've been at 209 for a week straight. I've been walking and drinking a lot of Water. I have had some bm issues of not being able to go but once every four to five days.

Any encouraging advice is welcomed.

Happy holidays!!

I'm having severe Constipation issues myself. My surgical team recommended a product called Calm. You take it as a shot at bedtime..it seems to be helping..

Sometimes when you get bound up, a simple laxative may not work. I had to resort to using a Fleet glycerin suppository that I had to put up my rectum in order to get unbound.

If you are not drinking sufficient fluids this can also cause you to become constipated.

My 2 week stall just broke. Also at 209 on my stall. Am skeptical still about what the scale will say tomorrow. It is annoying no doubt even with knowing this is just how it goes. I use Miralax. It has been awesome

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
