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:

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
