How to break a stall?



Recommended Posts

Well Tip #1, would be to only post your question on one board. We will all see it and anyone who can help, will. But by posting the same question on multiple boards means you flood the Recent Topics Bar with repeats and people get confused about which one to post to.

I didn’t realize they were all connected. I did that because I figured there were others like me who don’t follow ALL forums. But thks anyway.

I think most people when on their PC don't really "follow ALL forums" but rather look to the right where it says recent topics to find what is currently being discussed. It takes a while to learn how this forum works. I didn't realize at first that the mobile app reacted differently than the PC.

Depending on where you're at as far as a timeline, I would say go back to stage one post op and do the ole pouch, or sleeve reset (which ever surgery it is that you had) and incorporate some exercise (or just walking if you just had surgery) into your regimen. If you just had your surgery about three weeks ago, it is normal to stall about that time. Good luck with your stall, you will succeed!

@ED Thks. I keep hearing about the rest but my dr n dietician have stated they don’t agree w that practice n advised against it but I think Monday I’m going to do it for a couple of days. My surgery was in July 2018 n my weight has been the same since Dec.

I think the reset just helps people get back on track with a regimented diet. Once you stop following and tracking your food intake, it's easy to take in bad foods and more calories. I'm only a couple of months out and I stray and have to occasionally ask myself "what the hell did I just eat that for?". LOL... Good luck!

I’m too much of a newbie to offer any advise but I happened across this article while searching for another topic. I thought it had a lot of useful info and I saved it in my favorites for future reference. Although I snickered at the “how to easily....” .

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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
