Stall.....why?

[nurse247 74]

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
