Same 3 pounds what the heck!



Recommended Posts

VSG family I need help/advice. I was sleeved on the 28th of January and from my last pre op visit on the 22nd until today I've gone from 399 to 368 which is good I know but every day for the last week and a half my weight ranges between 366 and 369. Am I in the 3 week stall or what? I met with my nutritionist yesterday because I'm not getting enough fluids in and that has to improve or I can make myself sick. I feel fine for the most part not in major pain just don't have to much energy. What can I do to get the scale to move?

Just be patient. The weight is going to come off. You have already lost 31 pounds!!!! Since the end of January! Your body is probably trying to figure out what the heck is going on. Just take a deep breath and try to keep your mind on something else. Just be patient. Good luck!

I was sleeved 11/13. I stalled from 12/1-12/10 THEN again from 12/23-1/1. Agh! I wanted to cry! But- those have been the two longest stalls I have experienced now at 3 months out- more to come, I'm sure, but I will take it!

That makes me feel a little better, I am going to the grocery store today because I know I have been a little LAX about what I've been eating because I've been running low on some things and worried about what my husband will and won't eat too.

Time for me to get over it though, I think I'm going to go to biglots and pick up extra tupperware and pre-make some salads and have them ready in the fridge.

Thanks everyone! I guess it's my stall time. As with anything else- this too shall pass!

      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?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
