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.

      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!

      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!!
