Help breaking a stall



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone

Been stalled for A little while and need some suggestions to move past it. I'm 2 months Post OP and can still only eat about 700cal , 70g Protein daily, less than 50g carbs.

I completely understand the dynamics and have embraced my stall, but it's time to move on. Please only helpful comments from people who have experienced it and what worked.

Many thanks

I am 3 months out down 65 total it’s a crazy whirlwind, some weeks i will lose 5-7 pounds others zilch. Been stuck at zilch for 3 weeks straight. I worry that’s it! I’m not losing anymore, even though ideally I need to lose around 80 more.

I've never lost that much in a week...

My starting weight was 300 lbs so that may be why I was losing that much. I’ll be ok with just 1 pound a week as long as it keeps coming off. Here’s to getting past these stalls!

Hang tight you are still early out. I was one of the lucky ones I averaged 20#'s a month. But....I also couldn't eat much. I had strictures and couldn't hold down much food or even Water. It started right after my 3 or 4th week. I had my RNY in July and had my first endo in Nov. You are doing very well. Keep your yes on the prize and KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!

      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?
