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 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

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
