Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing weight. None of us lose at a constant or steady rate. We all stall and most of us experience our first stall about three weeks post-op. Just follow your program. Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids. And, stay off the scale.

Best Compliment That You've Gotten Since Your Weightloss Thus Far?
Aussiegirl replied to Sleeve2B's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
The other week at Mardi Gras, I was in my costume, short little number and my friend (who is quiet the looker) walks into my room and the first thing he says is that I looked "sexy as hell"....that felt amazing!!!! -
Just got home. Spent three nights at hospital. Gotta tell ya, it sucks. No sugar coating. Whoever it was who told me to get a suppression sleeve for my stomach thank you. It's the biggest help.

Hahaha! This is a perfect description of the first two days! I felt much better on day three and tremendously better on day four, but YES, those first two days feel like a post alley-way beating for sure! -
That sounds kind of discouraging....I'm having surgery at that hospital with Rodriguez in 7 weeks....hope you start feeling better real soon and keep us all posted!!

So I mentioned weeks ago back in pre-op that I was making my husbands current weight (106kg) my target that I was hoping to reach by surgery day 2nd May. My weight loss slowed down in the final week before the op so I only made it to 111kg by surgery day. Today, 1 week post op, when I weighed myself in the morning I was 106.4kg (and that was BEFORE the laxative and stool softener I took the last few nights kicked in, as hadn't BM since 2 days pre op). I told hubby I've matched him today, woohoo! And he congratulated me... then tonight while visiting my parents I had a simple text message from him... "104.0kg" .... cheeky bugger he'd weighed himself again and found he's lost 2 kilos this past month (likely because I've been leaving out rice/pasta from pretty much all family meals, plus "eating healthier" is kind of in his mind at the moment). So.. the spouse-weight competition goal posts have now shifted to 104kg... but no matter... I should be under that one too within the week At 6'3" and solid built (and with his entire stomach still inside) he won't be able to stay under my weight for long Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go ice 3 dozen birthday cupcakes for my daughter to share with her class at school tomorrow... life is cruel eh?

I am not sure about the connection between hernia and your regurgitation. I had no symptoms of a hernia and didn't realize I had one until after surgery and the dr told me he fixed it. The gas is because during laproscopic abdominal surgery, they inflate the abdomen with gas to assist with surgery. It takes time for that gas to dissipate and it can be painful in the process - though not everyone feels it as intensely. It goes away - thankfully! Good luck in your journey. I'm 4 1/2 weeks out and really loving that I did this (though the first week I thought I had lost my mind for what I did! Lol)

Thanks for the suggestions! I have some samples of the unjury that I'm going to try next week!!!

Awesome! The support meeting last night at Woodbridge was GREAT! Dr Halmi came and spoke and also a cosmetic surgeon! I met many wonderful successful WLS people! It really was a blessing to hear their stories and meet some folks from the office, Erin the Nut spoke too, she was so kind! I'm feeling antsy and wanting my consult o be tomorrow already...but alas, it's two weeks away :/ good luck at your upcoming apps, imagine if we got same surg day!? -
I'm not sure if this is the right forum for my question, but I am posting here. I am 10 months post op, and have been at the same weight for the last 6 weeks. Can anyone else tell me if this is common, if they have experienced it, and what I can do to remedy this? I have lost 112lbs to date, and have another 50 to reach my goal weight, and I have become very depressed because of the lack of weight loss. HELP!!!
-
Had a checkup today. Everything is good and 50 lbs GONE!!! Still have no appetite, water taste horrible and struggling with getting in protein!!! Would I do it again???? ABSOLUTELY!!!! Things will get better...I'm only 7 weeks post op!!

Ever since starting the pre-op liquids, I'm FREEZING! I know it's winter, but the other day it was 60 degrees out and I was inside, in sweats and draped with a throw. Last night I abandoned the recliner to sleep in my own bed again (1 week post op). Hubby sleeps with a fan on - can't sleep without it. I kept waking up in the night to turn up the electric blanket. I start purees tomorrow. Does eating real food again help at all?

It fills like my sleeve journey is one constant stall with occasional 3 lbs loss lol

I also have FVL, only one copy. In October I developed a blood clot and double PE After my c-section I had in the end of September. I'm very scared of another surgery but the surgeon said I will be on thinners for longer then the normal two weeks he does with everyone. Did they put you on thinners? -
Thanks for your post.....I feel this process is soooooooooo long. I have my psych appointment next week then all will get submitted to my insurance Heres hoping!

Negative Comments from Family Members
lexiemia replied to smrogg's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Don't let this discourage you. My husbands aunt had GB 8 years ago she went from a size 24 to a size 4 and she has maintained her weight loss all these years. I asked her tonight what was her secret. She said no caffeine, no soda, beer, or wine. Drink lots of Water, eat three small meals a day and three small Snacks. I asked what sort of snacks she said yogurt or 1/2 banana. I wish you the best of luck and we are all here to support you. -
My stall ended. I did lose 4 more pounds this week. I strictly diet. Low carb. Low calorie, veggies and some fruit, protein. I put everything in my app. I’m way under the guidelines my surgeon asked, but doing my best to up my calories and carbs. Struggling still with digesting most foods.

I went through the same thing. I thought I had torn a stich inside and was worried about a possible hernia. My Dr. said not to worry, sure enough at exactly 4 weeks it seemed to almost magically disappear and I have been back to work for a week now.

As far as payments, that’s going to depend on your surgeon’s office policies. For reference, mine wouldn’t accept payments. They wanted full payment the Friday before my surgery. Luckily my insurance covered everything so I didn’t owe a penny. Contact your office and they will let you know their expectations. For the approval process, my office scheduled my surgery a week and half out from when I completed all of my clearances then submitted all the paperwork to my insurance for approval. I had a pre-op class that Friday where I bloodwork done. Got approval from insurance that Monday and had surgery Wednesday. I definitely thought I’d have more time to mentally prepare for surgery. I had no idea that I’d be having surgery 10 days after I completed clearances. Again, this is all very surgeon specific.

Getting excited and nervous! Surgery approved and scheduled for September 4th with the possibility they may move it to the 3rd due to a cancellation. All my pre-op lab work and testing is done and without any concerns. Same for my psych eval, barium swallow, chest x-ray, EKG, and EGD. Did all my pre-op nutrition appointments (I was fast tracked, so there weren't as many as most of you had). Did the pre-op group class where they explained my pre-op diet and what to expect at the hospital and post op. Started my bariatric vitamins last week. Purchased any food/supplies that I think I might need for the first couple weeks post op (my husband even told me to get him a new bigger TV so I can have a TV in my room the first couple days lol... and he got a 65" screen out of it lol). Today I did my final pre-op weigh in and doctor visit. Saw another doc first (teaching hospital), then my real doc. Signed my surgery consent. Too my surprise, the doc also told me that it doesn't matter how much weight I lose now, I am totally approved for surgery (before I had to be careful I didn't put myself under a certain weight and disqualify myself). YAY! I also asked him about how much time I can take off work (I have 14 weeks of sick time saved up and a supportive employer- not that I actually want 14 weeks off, just didn't take all my sick time over the many years I worked there). He said a minimum of 2 weeks but up to 8 since I do have a fairly physical job. YAY! I could probably get away with going back early, but why push myself when I have the time and support? I would rather heal, adjust to my new diet(s) over the next month or so, and slowly build a new fitness routine before going back to the craziness that is work. Not sure how many weeks I will actually take off, but good to know I have options. And then finally, I went to a pre-op anesthesia appointment. Answered all of their questions and signed their consent. So... all that is left is to call and confirm the time of my surgery the afternoon before! And how did I celebrate? I got my last meal of my favorite Indian food. Yum! And my husband is TRYING to be supportive of all of this, but he really doesn't want me to have what he considers to be elective surgery. I understand where he is coming from, especially since every one of his surgeries has had some sort of complications. But my surgeries have all been routine and without complication. And I really need to improve my health and this seems to be the only way to get me there.

Week 1 recovering from surgery, week 2 amazing amounts of energy, now week 3 heading into week 4 I am beyond tired. I drink the fluids, I drink 2 protein shakes a day and eat 1 meal (barely) and I went back to work today after 3 weeks but I am bone weary tired. I have been exercising, take my vitamin. Is this the norm at the 3/4 week mark? Thanks

Hi Tracy- Thank you for your response! WOW, congratulations on your weight loss! You and everyone are such inspirations I kick myself for having my own little pity party over here but reading through the struggles you've all gone through is such a huge help.

I have last last week completed all of my pre-op requirements and will be submitted for approval on Monday, it hasnt really hit me that this is going to be my reality very soon! ...my life is going to change in a huge way...Im so happy that my knees wont hurt lol
