Could I be stalling already?



Recommended Posts

Hey all, I am really down on myself today... I has gastric by pass on Dec 20th and I started at 321 and I am now 285 but I went to dr 2 weeks later and it says I am 287.... how the hell is that possible. I eat less than 700 calories a day and I stay active. And to top it all off my blood pressure was back up... 1 week after she took me off my meds :-( not having a good day

Yes. It's normal. Do a search for the "three week stall."

I hit a stall at the 2 1/2 week mark that lasted 20 days. It freaked me out so much but after that 20 days, the pounds started melting off again. I'm now 8 weeks out and have hit another stall. I just keep trying to remind myself that as long as I'm doing what I'm supposed to do, my body will eventually do what it's supposed to do. Good luck to you and just try to be patient (even though I know it's hard).

Good to hear, jenl8270, because I'm 8 weeks out and I've hit a stall and gained 1 pound from yesterday. I was freaked out this morning when I got on the scale.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
