Fibromyalgia and stalls



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 4/30/14. I took 5 weeks off of work, returning on 6/514. During my time off I felt wonderful and did not feel any affects of my fibro. I did not take my lyrica. Upon returning to work, I have a stressful job, I started feeling pain and started back on my lyrica this last Tuesday. I have been stalled for 3 weeks. I talked to the nurse and went through my food diary with her. She thinks my body is in stress from going back to work and being in pain. she says my body won't lose weight when it is in stress. Has anyone ever heard of this?

I guess not. Only me.

I am worried about having similar problems. I have chronic low back and leg pain and take many medications just to have basic function. I hope the pain will improve as I lose weight. I am worried between the medications, daily pain, an limited mobility that my weight and surgical success will be hindered. Good luck and I hope this stall breaks soon once your body adjusts.

My fibro is under control unless I'm under a lot of stress. Lyrica is known to cause weight, so I'm sure that doesn't help. I avoid taking it unless I'm really bad. Just keep doing what you know to do, you'll break through the stall soon!!! Congrats on your WLS!

if you read the book "ultrametabolism" he explains why its so hard to lose weight when you are having an inflammation crisis. check it out.

you may also want to look into the autoimmune paleo diet or even the whole30 diet. both of these food plans can greatly reduce inflammation in your body.

good luck!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
