Plication Surgery

[TMAC 1]

I had surgery with Dr. Ortiz on May 12th. I have lost 15 pounds since I had the surgerys. I am in a stall and trying to understand why. I have never been sick or even had nausea and keep down anything I eat. I was hoping for more of a weight loss than that. Any suggestions?

You are in the classic 3 week stall. If you google 3 weeks stall you will find lots of information. By the way 15 pounds is great! KUP

You sound like you're actually doing great. How much weight are you looking to lose ? 15 pounds is nothing to shake a stick at! As long as you're gradually losing weight, that's really all that matters. If you're physically able, I'd try to increase my mobility and get some exercise going! Also, what's your normal calorie intake per day ? Are you on any special diets at the moment ? Jenn ha sa great point about this possibly being your 3 week stall. Do a quick search to read more.

Oh, yes! At about 2-3 weeks post surgery, I went into a stall for THREE weeks!! Drove me crazy, but I just kept reminding myself about the "Dreaded 3 week Stall" and, sure enough, if finally broke! I did have to tighten up my calories and carbs a little before it did, but it did break, and that was all that counted!

It's funny how different our bodies are. The more I cut calories, the more I stayed the same. I had to increase my calories and carbs for a little bit to get my stall to break. I think my body was in starvation mode. Mine started at two weeks out and lasted almost two weeks. Then I lost 6 lbs in a week. Go figure!

I did a stall about the same time...then I got disgusted and decided not to get on the scale more than once a week. My weight would fluctuate so much during the course of a day that I found myself checking the scale over and over...so now I let my looser and looser clothes tell me how I'm doing and leave the scale alone. 15 pounds is great, you are doing wonderful!
