"Stalls" why do people Freak out!



Recommended Posts

I am so dissapointed to read this thread. We are all supposed to be here to support each other and if someone chooses to weigh 5 times a day or not at all doesn't mean they " were not ready" for this. Noone is perfect and noone is a professional at this wls. Everyone handles things differently and struggles differently.......this is not how we should be supporting each other :-(

I agree. We need to remember where we came from. Take a step back and analyze your life up hntil the point of surgery and beyond. Again, REMEMBER where you came from...with this, you'll find empathy.

I find it fastinating that some have taken offense to this post. Usually when I see a topic I am not interested in being a part of, I dont read it or comment on it. I kniw the poster meant no judgement or harm. I understand and agree that it can get a bit much everyday seeing some post about a stall. They are upsetting , but a necessary part of the process. How we handle them is another issue. I cant come to your home or office and keep you from scarfing down brownies. We all make mistakes and sometimes stalls come from mistakes, sometimes not. The fact is, I cant help you through your stall. I have offered encouragement and advice to those in stalls, but really theres not much to say. We all know we have to scale back to basics or.just drive on and wait.it out.

Exactly! We just have to wait it out even though it can be scary.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
