Its Offical Im In A Stall



Recommended Posts

I am 4 weeks out of surgery...and I have also hit a stall. At three weeks out of surgery, I had lost 29 pounds...and now nothing, for about a week. It actually has me very worried, that I'm not doing something correctly. I'm sorry to hear of all of you having a stall also, but it really helps me knowing that I am not alone in this. For the people that have had stalls before...how long did your stall usually last? Just curious. This is a great forum.

Nearly a week and no loss and no loss of inches... Is my body used to this amount of food?

29 in 3 weeks is fantastic!! Happy to say that my first and only stall so far (almost 5 months out) is over I am down another 2 57 overall. If you type in stall in the search you will see a ton of helpful things to get you through but talking about it was the best thing for me!! Good luck

29 lbs is fantastic. I am 13 months out and I hit many many stalls along the way. Trust me they are very discouraging and no fun. I hit my first one at the 3-4 weeks post op mark and it probably lasted about 2 weeks. This is very normal so don't get worried. I have hit stalls that lasted 2 months already where I swore that I wasn't going to lose another pound. Trust me when I say you have to keep doing what your doctor told you to do and it will come off. I have even had times where I gained a couple pounds. Then the next week I would lose the couple pounds I gained plus lose a couple more. Our bodies are all different but majority of us all hit stalls and they are completely normal and and frustrating as well. Hang in there you are off to a great start!

Regarding the "no BM".....I have found "Smooth Move" tea very helpful. I drink a cup before I go to bed and the next day I'm usually back on track....no cramping or nausea either. I get mine at Target.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
