Anypne stuck with weight loss ? Day 29



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone I am currently stuck at 241 now a couple of days and do not understand why?

I can barely eat let alone drink. I am keeping a journal of everything I eat.

Was anyone stuck for a while in the beginning too ?

Almost everyone stalls. For me, I stall a lot and then things start moving again, also a couple of days would not be considered a stall.

In the beginning weeks following surgery you lose quickly and then somewhere around week 3 your body takes a breather. This is perfectly normal and can last a few days and sometimes even a few weeks. It is simply your body wondering what the heck is going on before it releases more fat.

This will happen over and over and will get longer and more common the closer you get to goal.

The best thing you can do is simply stay the course. Follow your food and exercise plan that the doc gave you. The stall will break.

This can make people who weigh frequently a little bit crazy. I have always weighed myself once a day first thing in the am. I have to get my head in the right frame of mind to realize I am not going to lose weight every single day. When I get into a stall, and have lost nothing for a week or 10 days I stay off the scale for a while.

Give yourself a break! I am sure you are doing fantastic!

Congratulations on your surgery!

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process. The first, and most predictable stall, is usually around the third week after surgery.

This won't be your last.

Embrace the Stall!

Think everyone hits stalls. Whether it is with or without WLS. The info others have left for you seems to be very true for all of us. Hang in there.

I stall for a few weeks at a time then lose 10#s quickly, then stall again.

I seem to stall at every 10 pound segments. Keep sticking to your program and your body will catch up. Its frustrating.

      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!!
