Protein, Bariatric Vitamin, Stall



Recommended Posts

Hi all I'm 44 had sleeve surgery 7/13/16 weight day of surgery 275. First week and a half I lost 20 pounds I haven't lost anymore weight. I can't find a Protein drink I like so I'm not getting much in the way of Protein. I do my Water just fine to stay hydrated but every time i take the multi Vitamin it makes me sick???? Getting discouraged

Just had my 3 week check up and was told that a stall around this time is completely normal. They said to make sure to only weigh yourself 1 time a week and that even though the scale might not change you can notice a difference in the way clothes and such fit. They said that when you're working out you can burn fat by going slow and then fast and changing the intensity level throughout your workout. I was also told that a stall around the 3-6 month period also occurs.... Hope that helps!

My surgery was the day after yours. I too had trouble taking my Vitamins. I tried taking them before meals, after meals, in between meals, and every time I got extremely nauseated and even vomited once. Thankfully, I think I figured it out a few days ago. I eat about 1/3 of my meal, take Vitamin, eat another 1/3, take rest of Vitamins, finish meal. This has been working wonders! By the way, my vitamins are chewable, so I'm not drinking during meals.

I left my house for vacation 4 days ago. This is the first time I haven't been weighing myself daily. I'm nervous about weighing in when I get home. I don't want to hit the dreaded 3 week stall!

I hope these tips are helping and your stall ends soon!

If you stay off the scale for several weeks, you can sail through your 3 week stall without ever knowing about it. I highly recommend it!

Hi Suziesue1706.

Have you tried liquid Vitamin And are you waiting 5 to 10 minutes in between each bit? Good that you are drinking Water .you can find some of the Protein liquid that can be mix with the Water so you can get the right amount of Protein and the last but not least moving ,walking to loose weight.how much do you eat?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
