Hi Everyone,

I am wondering has anyone experienced early stalling? I am 11 days post my gastric bypass and weighed 242 and daily the numbers were going down but I been at 231 for 5 days now. Is this to be expected so early? I barely eat a "decent meal" and always drinking liquids throughout the day so I know I am not overeating. My energy level is still very low but I am moving around through out the day as well. Can someone please shed some light on this? Also is there anyone who can recommended a laxative other than Miralax or Smooth Move? Neither works for me. Please help me and thank you in advance. I appreciate your feedback.

I think it's a little early to say you are stalling.... I did not have much movement for at Lars yet 2-3 weeks after surgery. Don't weigh yourself for a week or so & see what happens!

I used Pedia Lax and it worked well. I've stalked but I'm not sweating it because I'm doing the right things plus I'm lifting weights. Be patient and stay the course. My surgery was 6 weeks ago and I'm still trying to figure out what to eat for breakfast so I just drink protein shakes.

I'm about all "shake" out. I begin week#6 Next Tuesday. I'm making a grocery list for tomorrow.

I plan to try flavored oatmeal, canned salmon, grits. . .

Thank you so much. The entire transition has been very hard and I was thinking I would have more than 11 pounds by now but I guess my body is slow

Hi.. I'm a little lost with eating myself. I can't do the protein shakes cause they make me sick and liquids don't fill me up. I am always hungry. I did cheat and ate something I wasn't and ended up miserable and eventually had to vomit it up

Thank you dear. You are always so encouraging and giving me that extra push. Are you sure you wouldn't consider it a stall... I haven't lost a y weight since surgery week and I think that was because I was hurting so badly so I wasn't drinking or anything

Have u tried genepro protein mix? I can't do protein drink either and genepro is flavorless and doesn't change the consistency of the drink. I mix mine in my coffee every morning.. it will take some time to figure out what u can eat and not eat.. I couldn't drink water up until like a week ago.. I live off of chicken salad, tuna, fish and shrimp lol

No i haven't but I am definitely gonna lool for it. I think I am going to be the same way. My birthday is in 2 weeks and I was thinking I would be good to eat regularly but my realization of that happening has hit home that this is not going to go like I would like it to be. So 11 days post surgery were you loosing or nothing

15 days out I stopped loosing.. for a week n half. But also remember everyone is different in loosing... just keep in mind that this journey is gonna take you forward and a healthier you... I still am loosing weight slowly.. I average like 11 pounds a month..
