Ok, So A Stall? Best Way To Get Through It Fast?



Recommended Posts

I really shouldn't complain, I am almost 6 weeks and am at 46 pounds down. I started at 314. I have been at 268 for a week...actually, over the weekend I was up to 270! Do I just keep doing what I am doing that got the loss I have so far? Or do I change things up? As silly as it sounds, the weight went up when I started to go down and formally exercise! I also feel tenderness near my lower left incision which isn't unexpected I guess, but I haven't gone down to exercise again since. I didn't feel any pain at all during, I did treadmill and then the circuit of resistance machines.

I really want to be at 250 for labor day...I know it's a random goal, but it would be so awesome that I am still hoping for it :)

husband has been approved also for the sleeve and we are going on a 3 week cruise in October. He has decided to have it done after he comes back. going on a cruise even 3 months post-op trying to find options to eat might be difficult. I plan on taking my blender and Protein powder.

I've been on a lot of cruises. There are a lot of food choices and the maitre d will also serve special food for dietary needs. Just let your travel agent or the cruise line know what you will need. Also every ship has a Buffett where there are many selections of healthy food also. My mom had to be on a bland diet once due to some issues she was having, and the gladly puréed her food.

      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.

        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!
