Breaking a Stall

[Stephanie0614 2]

Just wondering, I am at almost a year post surgery and I have been at a stall for months now. Has anyone not exercised much and still lost weight?

Looking for menu ideas for day to day. I know I need to cut down on my carbs especially bread :-( I still cant eat much at one sitting and I do eat 4-5 times a day from yogurt to Protein Bars to Protein filled meals.

Do you eat red meat or did you make the switch to turkey and chicken only? I want to break this stall. I cant do Protein Drinks mainly because I got burnt out on them from pre surgery and post surgery. The banana one is the only one I can get down these days.

I cant do the gym, I am looking into streaming the videos from beachbody.com.

Just getting frustrated.

I would say that I'm in the same boat by I'm not doing anything about it. I figure that my body is working things out and that eventually I'll lose weight again.

Many things have not returned to "normal" for me: sense of smell/taste; appetite; amount that I'm able to eat (very little still); not sure about my continued Hair loss.

The thing that I find most distressing is the change in my bowels. I have very little holding power (going #2) and have had my share of accidents, both in my pants or right on the kitchen floor. It's humiliating. What am I to do when all of the bathrooms are occupied and I "have to go"? I now keep several pots and pans at the ready, but it makes me wince thinking about pooping in a pan because I can't hold it. I've also had accidents when I've been out and about. I'm not aware of it at first, then I notice an unpleasant wetness and I realize that I also smell bad. More than once, I've gone straight from the car into the shower. I also keep a large towel in the car to protect my seats. If this keeps up, I might consider diapers when I go out. Sheesh.

My taste buds have changed that's for sure. I was never a big fan of yogurt and now I love it and could eat it several times a day. I have experienced "dumping" and it is not fun.

I know I need to cut out bread. two girls I know who gastric sleeve cant eat bread but not this girl. It doesn't seem to bother my new stomach :-(

I cant eat too much sugar, it will make me nauseous which before I was a huge sugar addict.

I just need to get off my lazy butt. I want at least another 10-15 off before the big 50 birthday in October.
