6 weeks with gastric by pass.



Recommended Posts

Normal. They are body breaks...when your body needs to readjust to the loss of weight. You might have them a lot over the months. I'm at 2 years post-op and I still get them. I'm a slow loser now that I'm almost to goal. Hang in there!

Hang in there!! Keep tack of everything that you eat or drink. Your body has been under a lot of stress. I can say this much you are not alone with worrying and stressing out about the STALLS!! It just takes time and patience. Make sure you are getting enough Protein and fluids. Maybe add some exercise and DON'T cut your calories to low. Keeping track of things will help with the stalls. As long as you are doing the things that your Surgeon's guidelines just TRUST the process. Good Luck

Make sure you are getting your required amount of Protein in each day. I am 10 weeks out and I had a stall around week 7. I realized I wasn't getting my required protein. Once I made sure I was getting all my protein, the weight loss picked back up.

Tell us a bit more - maybe fill in your profile so we can see your start weight, how much you have lost, your goal?

My experience - the stalls are often when my SIZE drops - like I go down a pants size. I kinda feel like maybe my body is shifting things around - fat off my bum and back to protect my liver - to deal with the weight loss.

So these days I embrace a stall, knowing I’ll be seeing a clothes difference soon...

But the scales will start to drop again, just stick to your plan, eat your Protein, drink your water...

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
