The Protein will help break your stall as well, especially if you are not getting enough.
1 gram for every inch you are tall minimum. It will help you heal and will help you lose.
I am the stall queen, I swear! The only thing you can do is follow the plan and wait it out.
Good luck!

@Inner Surfer Girl, thank you so much! I said the same thing to myself, "stay off the scale!"
I've been eating Protein 1st. I've been taking my Vitamins. I just started taking my Calcium as on instructed. I'll also start taking Biotin next week.
I'm excited for this journey. I understand that I'll experience stalls throughout my weight loss journey, I'm just frustrated. But I will try to embrace the stall. Thank you again!

Good luck to you! I'm 4 weeks post op. It was probably the easiest surgery I've experienced. I was walking 2 hours after surgery. I was released the following day. I was able to keep my Water down. No nausea (which was shocking). I get nauseous so easily. The gas pain was the uncomfortable part of the experience. I walked so much to help. It was moving, but not releasing. I took gas strips it helped, just slow moving. I didn't require any pain meds once I was released from the hospital and that was only 24 hours later.

I have several food allergies so I had to find an alternative to whey Protein. I did Mill based Protein which was lactose free. It's called Organic Valley Organic Fuel, they come on vanilla and chocolate. They're ready to drink Protein shakes that have 26g of protein. I purchase them from Whole Foods. They're a lil on the expensive side, but I really have no choice. These shakes are delicious! I use orange vanilla Mio in the vanilla. It tastes like an orange Creamsicle. Mmm! I also purchased sugar free Torani syrups for other flavorings.
Some other members of this site use Protein H20, Isopure, and Syntrax nectar (sp).
My surgeon says if you can drink 4 oz an hour (which is 1 oz every 15 minutes) and you're awake for 12 hours you can get in 48 oz. I began to increase to 5 oz an hour to get in 60 oz. Hope this helps.

@395Ron... WELCOME BACK RON!!! It is so great to hear from you. I'm glad you're on your road of recovery. Keep up the great work and you and you're family continue to be in my prayers.

How are you feeling? @@Laughingmyassoff2015

Welcome @cendella170. Sounds like you're well on your way. Good luck on this journey.
I'm having surgery Oct 12th. I'm at least a hundred pounds overweight. I have 1 co-morbidity sleep apnea. Today is my last 90 day NUT appt. I didn't have to lose weight, I just had to maintain. So if I maintained my weight, my paperwork will be submitted for approval today. I will be on pins and needles waiting for an approval. Less than 2 weeks to go!

Thank you for sharing. Getting ready for work and by the time I get to my car, I'm so winded. I'm glad to hear it's not only me. Hopefully that should subside soon. How far along are you in post op? Are you exercising yet? If so, what are you doing?

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I was only off for a week from work. I literally returned to work 1 week after surgery. I only did half days though, but I'm exhausted once I'm home and I take a very long nap before picking up my daughter from school. My recovery has been amazing! I only had gas pain when I was discharged, which was the day after surgery. The gas pain was the WORST!!!!!! At home, during the night, I'd walk and walk to help subside. I took Gas X, which moved it, but it wouldn't pass. Felt like a brick was sitting in stomach and back. By Thursday it was just about gone.
My RNY was on Oct 12th, I've lost 14 lbs. It's tough getting the fluids in. I've lost my taste for my Mios and Crystal Lights, Jello, and the popsicles....so it's just Water and Protein Shakes. I've tried a few baby spoonfuls of yogurt and very loose oatmeal. That's been great! I haven't been hungry at all, I wasn't missing food or anything until yesterday. I started craving a grilled cheese sandwich from Great Harvest.???? Oh well. In week 3, my diet includes an egg or 1/2 an egg, canned/packaged tuna and salmon. 1/4-1/2 toast or crackers, which begins on Tuesday.
I haven't done much exercise yet, I've had one minor complication. Well let's hope it continues to be minor. Monday is was planning to go walking on the treadmill. Something.....not too fast. However, after I dropped my daughter off to school, I realized I was very winded and had an accelerated heartbeat. Has anyone else experienced this? My surgeon's office had me go to the ER. They thought possibilities of pneumonia or blood clot. Thankfully it was neither. Not really sure it was. Maybe just my body still healing. Please share with me if you experienced any of this.

Yes that is the room between me and the table at the BOOTH thru just sat me at!!!!! Woohoooo

I'm 3 days post-op. I was sent home yesterday. I only sent one night in the hospital, which was fine by me be a I got no sleep. Someone was on my room every 10 minutes around the clock.
So far the pain has been from gas. That has been my most difficult part of this. I walk and walk, but it's so hard for that gas to love. It's hard for me to breathe yesterday because of the gas pain. I walked a lot through the night. So it's much better this morning.
Today is my first day for Protein Shakes and Vitamins. I hope it goes ok. Other than that, my my body is just sore. Hoping it gets better day by day.

Are you getting on enough water/liquids? Sounds like dehydration. Just thought, I'm no exactly sure. However, those are symptoms of dehydration. Have tried switching your Protein Shakes?

I'm glad to hear you're up and walking. Sorry about the gas pain. Keep walking, it's said to help with the gas pain.
