Hello all,

I am currently down 26 pounds and 4.5 weeks post op. I've been at a stall for about 2 weeks now and was wondering if anyone has ideas on how to get back in the "losing circle" (:

Yes....don't worry about it. Everyone gets the stall. I've had two since my surgery both lasting two weeks which means all together I had a month of not losing. I recommend you stay the course and let your body adjust to the large weight loss you have had already. Your body is just working its self out. Drink your fluids and get that Protein in and when you least expect it you will see some movement in the scale. If you are cleared for working out just walk a lil extra. I freaked out my first stall and now I just don't care cause I know it will move again and with as much as I work out there is no way I'm not going to see improvements! Good luck! You'll do great!

That might be part of my problem... definitely not getting all of my Protein in. I find shakes hard to keep down! Will work on doing that! Thank you for the kind words and Goodluck on your journey! (:

lol I haven't had a shake since my surgery. I hate how they taste. Try eggs and vegan burgers cause they are soft and full or Protein or make your own Protein Shakes if the store ones are gross. I did for awhile with soy chocolate milk a banana and unflavored Protein Shake mix. It was good but I honestly just got tired of them. I'm rooting for you!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
