Stupid Question?



Recommended Posts

I am currently in the process of being approved for my sleeve and I am trying to take in as much information as possible! I keep reading about people having "stalls"... could someone please explain this to me!?! Thanks!

I assumed it was something like that. Thanks!

Back in the "old days" of dieting, we used to call them "plateaus" and assumed they were a natural part of the weight loss process. Which they are!! Now that we've had surgery, we expect the magic fairy dust to make the weight evaporate without any sort of bump in the road. It is merely your body catching up and doing what it needs to do, so when you get to these stalls DO NOT freak out. We've all done it. Some of us learn to accept it, and some continue to freak out. I even bounce UP before I go down past my lowest weight again. I've just learned to accept that too. It's all good!! :)

I will do my best to not freak out when I get to that point! Thanks for the info!

      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.

      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! 😞
