Recommended Posts

Thank you all so much for ur advice!!! And the ones that are in the same situation as me, I guess there's nothing else to do but keep trying and trying. It's funny how our bodies work!!

I went and got a body massage on Wednesday just to see if that would help incase I was retaining Water. But nothing. :(. But the massage lady told me a good way to break a stall is eating only only Protein and water for one day. So I'm trying that tomorrow. So wish me luck guys!!! Oh she said to eat only chicken or fish for that one day. Which is good cuz I can't handle red meat yet.

And again thank u all for y'all's advice :)

I was sleeved March 6th. I've lost 30 lbs with 14 being pre op. I stalled at the start of week 3 and have stayed there for 3 weeks. I could feel my body changing the first two weeks of stall but now I'm just stuck. Totally frustrated. I tried on everything in my closet and cleared out two bags of clothes that were too big two weeks into the stall. That encouraged me for a while but now I'm frustrated again. I finally took my measurements for the first time last night. I'm hoping to see progress there again. I'm also taking pictures of myself in the same workout outfit every two weeks for comparison. Patience is not a virtue I have. Struggling to get 60 oz of Water in. But otherwise staying the course. Did I mention I am frustrated?

I have only been stalled for two days so I am not complaining....yet. I was sleeved on 3/11 and lost 25 lbs since then...But, I was looking at MyFitnessPal and noticed I am very high in fat- from Pita chips and eggs. So no more of the chips and limiting eggs to egg whites only. I tell myself I am only eating four chips with my hummus, but it's too much fat. Logging what I eat has really helped me!!

DonDddddddxdDon't get discouraged. You will lose more. You just need to shock your body by doing just the opposite it is used to. If you eat more carbs, cut the carbs and increase Protein. If you eat more protein, cut the protein and eat more carbs -but only good carbs. No junk and cut all sugar. Drink only water!!! I cannot stress that enough. You should break the stall.

I know what you mean! So so frustrating

I was sleeved on feb 6th and lost about 28 lbs and since 3 weeks the scale hasn't moved. I haven't been great with walking or Water but that can't be it? Can it?

I'm feeling so discouraged. My pants don't feel loose either :(

The same thing happened to me:(. But I did the liquid diet for two days and the scale started to move I lost 5 pds. U should try it, this might break ur stall.

I know I gets more discouraging when I get on here and these some of them that have lost 40-50 pds by this time. :(. But we're in this already so all we can do is keep trying and not give up. I wish u the best luck and we r gonna beat these dang stalls!!! Lol I'm thinking of trying the liquid diet once a week see how that works I think we just have to play around with it.

This also works in the opposite! I'd been sick and was eating like a bird. I wasn't losing either. When I got better I was pigging out! Mostly good choices, but not all good choices and lost a pound a day for about 8days! When your body thinks we are in starvation mode it WILL store fat! When it thought I was gonna feed it, it began to let go! Plus I was up and about and not in bed 24/7

Woohoo broke the plateau from hell (a month). Doc said gotta keep calories at 800 or less and I was watching carbs. Some of those high Protein meals were in excess of 1000 calories, no wonder I wasn't losing! Live and learn smh

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      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
