Broke the stall (slowly)



Recommended Posts

I am in my 5th week post-op and my body is starting to grudgingly give up the weight after stalling at 3 weeks. I increased my Protein intake and walking time and I am losing about 1-2 lbs per week. This morning I saw 239.

I had a bad stall as well. I arrived at 180lbs from 220 and the scale would not move. I picked up my exercise to twice a day 30mins in the morn and 30 mins in the evening. i got rid of the scale temporarily but before I did, I was another 2lbs down...Don't get discouraged.

I hit a stall at 2 1/2 months out. It was my first stall and it was very depressing. Yes I knew it would happen, but having it happen made it real. So I put away the scales and said forget you I'm not going to go by numbers for a while and see how that goes. I continued eating the way I had been eating the past 2 1/2 months and stepped up my activities. After 2 weeks of not weighing I decided to give it a go, and Holy cow I stepped on the scales and seen 183!! I finally broke through 190 without even realizing it. Don't stress yourself out over little things like stalls I know I won't. The scales will eventually start moving again have faith!! I'm ready for my 3 month post op visit now.. I want to see how much I have lost going by the doctors scales. Considering they show I weigh more then my home scales.. LoL

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
