5 weeks out & only 21 lbs down :(



Recommended Posts

Total since 11/2/12 I've lost 36 pounds. But since 11/7 I've only lost 21! :-( super bummed about it. Tomorrow is my post op follow up and I'm hoping to get the clearance to excercise. Has anyone experienced a stall once they went in soft foods? I'm totally bummed right now.

This is typically what happens. We get in a stall so that the inches can come off to catch up with the lost lbs......Don't worry, you will be losing lbs again really soon. You are so not done.........Be patient and enjoy the ride. Change old eating habits and recognize ways you might sabotage yourself later on. :)

Girl YES!! That is amazing! Pre-sleeve I would gain weight while I was trying to lose, so every pound gone made me super excited. LOL. Just do what you know you are supposed to do, and that weight will come off.

What was your pre-sleeve weight? I was sleeved a day before you and have lost only 4lbs more than you. I am also training for a half marathon and run every day so without clearance to exercise yet you are doing fantastic!! You don't want it to fall off overnight anyways .... less skin problems!! Be patient :)

Are you kidding? I have been in a stall for at least 5 weeks! I was sleeved 10/22/12 and lost 24 lbs in the first month. Since then I've lost one. One!

I'm not putting on muscle either. But here's the thing...it's different this time. I'm not real happy about the stall, but I'm not panicked either. It has to change eventually.

And I feel like a new woman! Hang in there.

      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!

      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!!
