Stalls are very common. Even stalls that last weeks. Stick with your program, be patient. Nothing has gone wrong.

I’m in a stall right now. I’ve had 3 of them and my first was just after week two of surgery. Just think logically. You are eating way fewer calories. The weight will eventually come off.

I stalled for about three weeks. At first I didn’t care much because I’ve been told and from reading different post here, that there will be stalls. But, I’m happy to report that after five days of eating leaner and four consecutive days at the gym ...I got that scale moving again & was down four lbs this morning!

Stalls are funny. My weight has dropped pretty fast in my Eyes. I had my operation 9/13/2017, and its funny , I still weigh my self everyday like an excited little kid! Some days I will lose weight, some days I'll be up a little, and sometimes for a week, ill be about the same weight, then bam the next day, ill be down 2 -3 more lbs, its been a very good transition! I havent experienced any of the dumping syndroms, or anything as of yet.

I think the weird thing at this point for me, is feeling my bones, in my shoulders, my hips, and my ribs. Also the other thing I really enjoy, is seeing someone that hasnt seen me since my surgery, and cant belive I'm the same person!

Cheers - Dennis

I will be one week post-op gastric bypass and cholecystectomy tomorrow. I have lost one pound. I choose to not get upset because I KNOW it will come off. I’m following my instructions. My body is healing. Stalls are temporary. Don’t get discouraged.

Just remember that stalls can be caused by your body "recalibrating" itself. If you are still getting your Water in, you are sticking to your diet and you are getting your exercise... then it's nothing YOU are doing wrong, it's just your body taking some time to figure things out and make changes. Also, muscle weighs more than fat, so any exercise that's increasing your muscle mass is going to offset any fat loss. Just keep marching forwards and things will work out.

      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!!
