7 month post op stall!



Recommended Posts

I have read a million times that stalls are normal but I am losing hope! I have been at a stall for 5/6 weeks! I am eating correctly and exercising. My stats were sw 220 cw 170. Someone tell me I am not done losing! Any ideas/thoughts?

Stalls are a normal, natural and necessary part of the process. My guess is that the closer you get to goal, the more likely you will stall more often and for longer periods as your body adjusts. Have you talked to your NUT about your concerns?

Embrace the Stall!

I agree with @@Inner Surfer Girl. But you're also being vague about what you're eating, how much Protein you're eating, how much you're moving, drinking, etc....

Sometimes the things we are doing may stall weight loss. Sometimes it's just our bodies taking a much needed break.

So ask yourself this....have you been doing everything mostly by the book, or have you let some bad habits slip back into your diet? Are you eating enough? Too much? Those are some of the questions a NUT would ask you. If you're so inclined, you can give us an idea so we can throw some possible solutions your way, also.

The closer you get to goal, the slower your weight loss may be. I would touch base with the nutritionist to make sure you don't need to increase calories.

I thought I was stalling and my doctor told me I am still on target. We worked out a cycle because you occasionally need to shock your system to kick start loss. Talk with your surgeon to make a plan.

What did your dr suggest to you about shocking your body? Mine suggested a couple of things, but would love to hear what your said.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
