19Days Post-Op And Stalled



Recommended Posts

I know it's going to happen but so soon. I've lost 28 pounds and it has been 4 days without loosing a pound and I fluctuate from 27 to 28 pounds. I'm in the puree stage and not sure what I'm doing for this to happen I have my 2nd appt on the 29th. Just needed to vent.

At about three weeks after surgery I stalled for a month. Now, it's been six and a half months and I'm down 98 lbs. from 255 to 157 and still losing steadily. Any other 30 day period since surgery the least I have lost is 10 lbs. Give it time, understand that the stall may stick around for a while, be grateful if it doesn't - and no matter what, remember that it is not an indication of your future success!

I think the puree stage is the hardest because you struggle to get in your Protein. Everything that you puree and mainly carbs it seems. So once you hit phase 3 I believe you will start seeing a difference so just hang in there!

Welcome to the week 3 stall! The good news? It goes away. The bad news is that it can take a couple weeks to do so. Just stick to your diet, exercise as much as you can, and focus on being healthy.

I don't know that I'd call just 4 days a stall. A week? maybe. Two weeks, ok, I'd call that a stall.

Could it be your TOM causing some Water weight? Eating salty Soups?

I agree, a 4 day isn't a stall. It really isn't, but I understand your frustration. This is for keeps though. You are relearning how to eat & be healthy, so try to pay more attention to that rather than the scale. It's hard, I know. I'm just 'getting it' at 3.5 months out.

PUT THE scale AWAY!!! It is not healthy to weigh yourself everyday! Stressing about not changing your weight in 4 days is going to lead you down a path of destruction. 4 days is not a stall, it's a normal daily fluctuation in weight.

Haha, you sound like the nurse at the clinic. She yelled at me for weighing every day, too.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
