Stall-Frequency, strategy, duration-please share
I had my first stall about 3 weeks out. At first you are losing a lot of Water weight. Stalls depend on a lot of things. I'm 14 months out. I have probably had 5 or 6 major stalls, they happen a lot. I've currently been in a 2 month stall and let me tell you I work out like a mad woman, I drink 80+ oz of Fluid a day and I eat mainly meats and veggies. I haven't found anything to really break it. Being this far out I've come to expect stalls and I just deal with them . as long as you are doing what you are supposed to it will come off. Sent from my VS987 using the BariatricPal App

Morphine drip?
I had daulidid when I woke up and then I could take oxys if i needed while in the hospital. I didn't take them though because they were going to send me home with tylenol.I figured i,might as well deal with it. Lol. Walking, and rest help. Also, try a heating pad. I'm so glad i had one that first week. Sent from my VS987 using the BariatricPal App

Stall is killing me
I can't even tell you how many stalls I've had along the way. Your body is in shock. It will come off. I'm 14 months out and down 140 lbs. I've had probably 5 or 6 major stalls, its frustrating but it will come off. Don't weigh yourself daily. That just makes it worse lol Sent from my VS987 using the BariatricPal App

How Often Do You Have Bowel Movements?

General Question!
@ funke. The scale will go up and down. Its normal. I sometimes gained 5 lbs and then would drop it overnight. I only weigh myself in the mornings and I weigh myself weekly. You'll drive yourself crazy weighing yourself every day. You need to get in the 64oz of Fluid as this is what flushes out everything. Have you tried things with flavor( Powerade zero, crystal light, green tea zero, diet snapple)? You literally need to have a drink with you all day. Sip sip sip...you'll get all over fluids in if you do. You'll have stalls through out the process. I sometimes stalled for weeks, even months. Its normal. Just keep going by the guidelines and get your fluids and Protein in and you will lose the weight. Sent from my VS987 using the BariatricPal App

Hair Loss
Unfortunately there isn't much you can do about it. I have a bald spot on one side. Thank God side bangs are in! My surgeon told me to take biotin although it isn't a miracle.
