Want to talk about a stall again?



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm 9 weeks post op revision, I lost 25 lbs the first 2 weeks....that felt amazing!!

7 weeks, and not a single lb. down.

I'm starting to feel very frustrated, any suggestions?

Also, I add wheat germ into my yogurt daily, is that a mistake? Is it a free food?

R u exercising .. Ii am 10 weeks out and was at a stall for two weeks. I knew I had to exercise to get out of my stall. I do 30 minutes 4 days a week of medium strenuous exercise ( I do break out into a pouring sweat)and am taking swimming lessons. Once I started exercising my stall broke. I lost 3 pounds that first week of exercising and continue yo lose consistently.

How many calories and Protein r u ingesting. I am about 800 calories and 70 gprotrin. R u eating enough calories. Contact your nutritionist also. She can help.

Thanks so much for your reply!

I did join a gym, excersizing daily. Does it matter how much protein I'm getting? How is that related?

Protein is very important for weight loss and keeping muscle mass while u lose weight. Your dr office or your nutritionist should have given u eating guidelines for continue weight loss success. Find out this info quickly ,,u need guidance of what and how much to eat. If your doc/ hospital where u had the surgery does not have this info...the internet has tons of info of what to eat..getting in enough protein is a key cimponent to continued weight loss after the sleeve,

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
