Stalling for TWO MONTHS.
Dawn Hanaphy replied to AshleeEppley's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went through the same thing. And all the advise I got was the same. Stalls happen, and most people when they spoke about timelines of stalls were the same. Its the waiting it out, that is hard, its the believing that it is all part of the process. Its in the desperation of thinking Oh God I went through all this and I am going to fail and then starting to lose again and feeling relief like no bodies business. Stay the course the stalls are important. they Help your body cope with the weight loss. I had a stall for almost 6 months, I thought I was done. And Started loosing again. Good Luck. -
ok I cant believe I am jumping to this thread to tell my story in hopes that you can relate or find hope or commonality in my story. I had my first Surgery as My Marriage was coming to an end it was an attempt to save it but was a joke, nothing was going to save it. I got banded and got miserable throwing up all the time lost 30 pounds and divorced healed a little emotionally. Started dating, Still heavy not as heavy thought like you it was easier to date fatter. Anyway, flash forward 5 f**king years of no luck no love dating. uckkkkk to the nth degree. but I knew I wanted love. And kept trying. I eventually said ok if not love than an education. So I went back to school and got a degree lol still no luck no love dating. But I wasn't as focused on it. But still dying inside wanting to be in love or at least like, and a partner to go through things with. Well despite my pathetic attempt with the lap band I gained it all back. Finally after a trip to emergency room I decided to have it out and got sleeved. Finally real weight loss. Still dating no luck no love dating. I kept trying because like I said I wanted love. I did everything people said "learned to really love myself" I wasn't even close had to really figure that **** out. Weight or no Weight. Got it mostly figured out. Kinda, Being obese is a mechanism to not really deal Food was my drug, OK so Finally still dating now thinner a little more success. And then it happened met him On Zoosk. But the best part was we went to a restaurant on our first date and as we are looking at the menu, he starts to say, oh I really dont eat much not sure if you would understand but I had this thing done to my stomach. LOL I just looked at him in disbelief. Not to mention I was digging him anyway. Well there it was we split our first of many Entrees "steak tips" laughed about Protein shakes and all that went with the first year. He was a year and a little out I was nearly two years out. Ok so Moral of the story don't give up but don't focus on it. And while you are waiting get **** done. Getting my degree was amazing. I used to pray for God to send me a Man a good man, Or at times any man. When I stopped focusing on that and my pray changed to Get me to graduation and let me be thinner or at peace with my weight. So year after 7 long years I did it. I am in love with a man who has a gastric sleeve and teenage boys who play sports and video games like mine. Sorry to tell you the sappy story. Best of Luck Dawn Marie

Sorry I really thought you meant Coca Cola, If you are thinking real Coke, that long term bariatric surgery wont work. Drugs and maintaining health rarely work. Good Luck. -
