Stall



Recommended Posts

Any sleeves out there experiencing a stall? Of so how do you overcome it? I was sleeved 3/27 and have only lost 36 lbs. My husband says don't stress that. I am loosing inches. It's kind of discouraging not seeing the scale move anymore especially when I still eat right, take my supplements and exercise regularly. Help!

Pretty sure everyone, with any WLS, will or has experienced a stall. They happen. Just remember that Weight is only 1 number and is **NOT** the whole picture. Body Fat % is another, very important number to be tracking as well. So yes, don't stress, don't worry about the scale. If you are getting your Proteins, Water, etc and are exercising 60+ mins daily... then you've got nothing to worry about.

There are a variety of tools that will do this, scales, hand held "scanners", etc. Even the old school pinch measure method with calipers.
You can get some digital hand held ones for less than $40

        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!!
