Feeling crappy today! Just barfed for the first time and I can't keep anything down. I'm super mad because I know this means in not getting enough water. This whole new life thing is hard

Why can you not keep things down suddenly?

I think dehydration is setting in. I know I'm not getting enough water and I was dehydrated once before (pre surgery). I'm just sitting here now trying to down water

If you can get some Gatorade G2 (low calorie) it would really help with the dehydration. Or some water with electrolytes in it. The gatorade saved me. About a few days after surgery, I woke up with a dry mouth and a headache. Got some gatorade and made it my mission to drink it every few minutes. I didn't want to end up in the ER on an IV bag. I hope you feel much better very soon :-)

Thank you!

You're welcome :-) hope you're feeling better now.

So, I thought I might have broke my stall. NOPE. I've been at or around the same weight for almost 3 weeks now. I'm following every single thing that my surgeon said to do. I called the Drs office to see what they suggest.

They just said it was normal. Blahhhh.

Also I'm cleared for exercise Monday Aug 5th. The nurse said no lifting heavy weights or strenuous workout or hard running on the treadmill because that can cause a hernia this early out from surgery.

Is anyone else still in the middle of a stall?? How long? And does anyone have some words of wisdom? I'm becoming really frustrated and want to see that scale move :-(

I thought I broke my stall too. Nope! 10 days at the same weight this far other than some minor ups/downs! It is depressing! I am still logging all foods, watching liquid and protein intake and walking as often as I can. Hopefully it will move again soon!

I think I keep having mini-stalls, or maybe this is how it goes for me. It's inching down very slowly. Very. The weight definitely isn't just flying off.

I've been doing very light exercise. Maybe I need to step it up.

Im still in a stall also its been about 15 days give or take a day (im trying not to obsess about it)...im also watching all intake and walking 5days out the week. I guess theres nothing else to do but wait. Im thinking of ordering the Insanity workout DVD I kno w its intense but I want to try it!

Best work out DVD I found - is Jillian Michaels 30 day shred its only twenty minutes and its awesome. It's hard so make sure u have approval to work out first ..

Sounds scary lol!! I was thinking about getting the zumba dvd at costco, then I'll work my way up to shred...gulp

Ok im feeling frustrated at this point and a little disappointed. I woke up this morning emotional and discouraged. I think im doing everything im supposed to I get 70 to 90g of protein in and walk just about everyday and the scale just will not move!! The whole point of me getting the sleeve was to start seeing some results from my hard work because pre op due to my thyroid issuse id do what I was supposed to with little to show for it! Now im even more focused and expecting to see results and nothing!! Sooo frustrating!!! Honesty im over it today...tomorrow is another day and I will try to maybe incorporate more exercise and water intake... :-/....sorry just needed to vent!

I woke up feeling the exact same way! I stood on the scale this morning and prayed that it would move. Nothing. This has been about 11 days now. It is so depressing but my husband is ready to hide my scale from me! Ugh...

Out of frustration I put mine away this morning, but I know ill take it back out! Maybe I need someone to hide it from me also, then id probably drive myself crazy looking for it!

I know we all talked about the stalls before but I think we all hit the 3-4 week stall together. I haven't lost at all this week. We just have to know that it will start moving again and it's up to out bodies to decide when. We just have to keep doing as we are told and follow the plan. The rest will fall into place. I think hiding the scale is the best idea yet! Lets continue with the before and after pics and measurements and not look at the scale until Monday. Who's with me? Would anyone like to share some pics? That's always a spirit lifter :)
