Help breaking a stall



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone

Been stalled for A little while and need some suggestions to move past it. I'm 2 months Post OP and can still only eat about 700cal , 70g Protein daily, less than 50g carbs.

I completely understand the dynamics and have embraced my stall, but it's time to move on. Please only helpful comments from people who have experienced it and what worked.

Many thanks

I am 3 months out down 65 total it’s a crazy whirlwind, some weeks i will lose 5-7 pounds others zilch. Been stuck at zilch for 3 weeks straight. I worry that’s it! I’m not losing anymore, even though ideally I need to lose around 80 more.

I've never lost that much in a week...

My starting weight was 300 lbs so that may be why I was losing that much. I’ll be ok with just 1 pound a week as long as it keeps coming off. Here’s to getting past these stalls!

Hang tight you are still early out. I was one of the lucky ones I averaged 20#'s a month. But....I also couldn't eat much. I had strictures and couldn't hold down much food or even Water. It started right after my 3 or 4th week. I had my RNY in July and had my first endo in Nov. You are doing very well. Keep your yes on the prize and KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
