Any August Sleevers Living In Stall Hell?



Recommended Posts

YES. I had surgery on 8/29 and stall started 9/15 or so. I am finally pain-free so I'm going to try to exercise more to try to break it.

Just came out of stall hell and it helped for me to go back to Protein Shakes and eating 6 times a day w/exercise. I was done on 8/15, and started to see the scale finally move. My other key was going back to low fat/sugar foods with a lot of protein...nut also recommended benifiber or metamucial...hope that helps?!?!

I'm in a stall, but I wouldn't say it's hell. I've only lost about 6 pounds post-op. while it is a bit disappointing, i get it. I lost 30+ pounds in the 3 month pre-op diet. I know my body and it has always fought me at 210(ish.). Seems to be it's resting point.

I know that it will start to lose again. Nobody on here has not lost the weight (or regained it all) unless not on program. And i'm learning how to eat. So i'm happy. And of course I'll be happier when the scale moves again.

Sleeved 8/21

Current weight 212

Date in May: 253

I was sleeved on 8/28, and was in a stall for 2 weeks at the 3rd & 4th week post-op. I took the advice of someone on here and did two days of Protein Shakes for Breakfast and lunch (Premier Protein-30 grams each) and ate lean Protein and Beans for dinner. I also stopped eyeballing how much fluids I'm getting in, I'm actually counting and making sure I get at least 64oz. I came out of the stall with a 4 pound loss, and big changes in my body. I also only weigh once a week, because if it's happening, I'll see it happening.

I am going to try that today!!! I have been eating lean meats, soft cheeses, and Beans. But I am going to "protei shake it" today. As much as the thought of it makes me gag, it is worth the weight loss. My husband is going out of town next week. Going to stick the scale in his vehicle before he leaves. I can not b trusted with that thing!!! I step on it about 15 times a day.

Lol, good luck! It really works, and make sure you're getting at least 64oz of fluids. I do 1/2 G2, and 1/2 Water mixed together. I can't drink Crystal Light anymore, it's too sweet.

I was sleeved August 30. I am down 30lbs., but stalled for week and a half now. I am not stressing at all. I am 30lbs. lighter than I was a month ago. So I am praising God for that. I know the stall is not going to last forever, so why not think about something else. Like what am I going to wear to work tomorrow, since everything is too big. Look at the positive.

I was sleeved on 8/16 and am down 61 lbs (44 from surgery, the rest on 3 day liquid diet). I experienced a couple of slight stalls. What I did was cheat and have some carbs. The next day I dropped two pounds. This never fails me. It seems that when I have more carb calories it shocks my body and starts burning again.... or idk that is how I see it in my head.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
