Some people experience this stall. It sucks, but it happens. Your body needs to adjust.

Obviously, this is more of a personal choice, but I try to stay away from anything and everything processed or refined...which would include any flour. I truly believe that a diet rich in whole foods is what's helping me to reach my goals and so that's the path I'm on now....and it's been great as well as satisfying. I don't find myself craving things that I used to and I don't feel that I'm being "deprived" of good food....just the opposite actually. I feel that I was depriving myself of good food before the surgery.
Sticking with whole foods, I don't really count carbs or worry about them as the vast majority of carbs I consume come from natural sources like fruits, veggies and Beans. I do stay away from colorless, starchy veggies such as potatoes though. I opt for a sweet potato instead which I believe is a much better alternative. The only thing I really "count" is my Protein...just to make sure I'm getting enough.
In the end, you have to find a program that works for you and I would encourage you to get with your NUT and speak to them about plans specifically for you. Best of luck!

wheat flour, or any kind of flour, is just carbs and calories waiting to be crammed into your body. Try sticking with lean Protein, legumes, green veggies, small amounts of fruit, etc. Grains are really not your friend. Plus, eating carbs will just make you hungry and crave more carb-rich, protein-deficient foods.

Thanks. I'm more at ease now with the responses I'm getting. Thanks a lot for your suggestion. Sent from my SM-J700M using the BariatricPal App

Thanks to all for your responses. Today I went to the doctor. The results from the chest scan are good. I increased my Water intake and on Monday will be starting soft puree food. So far that seems to be the issue. Doctor told me that my body is getting used to a new situation. Got a new EGD today. They just want to know if there is no surgery related problems. Doctor is confident that I'll be back to normal.

Unless you have a history of heart issues... i would be rather supprised if it is anything serious.
Dehydration causes more issues that we realise.
Having low electrolytes will cause all sorts of symptoms.. we need the salt and potassium.
It is vital that you increase your Water... the last thing you want is to have to go to the hospital to get an IV.
Check the color of your pee... my rule that helps me know is....
If its darker than the color of a baby chicken.... you are definitely dehydrated lol... a yellow chicken not a black or brown one hahahaha

@@missrossina Low potassium could cause rapid heart rate as well.

So far for me I get a speedy heartrate when I eat/drink something too fast for my new stomach to keep up with.

Early out i had heart palpitations and a faster heart rate.. for me i drank some electrolytes and they eased quite dramatically.. during my first two weeks i was not drinking as much as i am now (5 weeks out) and once i uppped my Water level it settled down.
I notice that if i have not met most of my Water for the day i do get little flutters...
So i made a rule for myself... that i cant go to bed without meeting my water goals.
You might be dehydrated... if you are struggling consider breaking up the water to soften it... i know for me.. adding sugar free flavour helped... i also infuse my water with lemon and mint... thay helped the most.. it really softens the water and helps me get more in.
Obviously wait for your results from your doctor... but increasing your hydration is a must regardless of the results.
Good luck and keeps us posted
