13 Weeks,a Stall And Prevacid Side Effects :(



Recommended Posts

Today I am 13 weeks out. I have stalled :'( I have been hovering in the 170's for at least a couple of weeks now. It seems like any time I increase my physical activity I stall. I also stopped taking Prevacid. I was having stomach pains, diarrhea and mood swings. What is that all about?! So I am back on Pepcid and Zantac and am trying to manage my gnawing stomach that way again. It's the lesser of two evils I guess.

I am feeling pretty down in the dumps today. I just want the gnawing feeling to go away. I have never said that I regret the surgery and I never will. The things I don't like are a minor pain. Excessive acid and saggy skin being the biggest bummer. Maybe I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed today.

Here's to hoping tomorrow is a better day! :(

I have to tell you a couple of things...from my experience. You most likely feel moody because of the crazy estrogen being dumped as you burn fat. That may cause you to feel down in the dumps too. For me prilosec didnt work so I told the doctor and he changed it to Nexium. So if for some reason you arent getting relief from prilosec then change to something else. I found while losing that if I worked out too much my weight loss slowed. I think it would have picked up if I continued on...but I decided that I would back off. I continued to walk and run a little but no hard core working out and I lost steady until I hit goal at 5 months. Their has been plenty of time since goal for me to get fit and I am working on that. I am saying a little prayer that you will have a better day tomorrow! Hang in there.

Thank you twoboysandagirl! I will definitely keep that in mind. I kind of figured I was just having a bad day. That's why I love this forum. :wub:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
