Still stalled, woke up sick, just trying to get by...



Recommended Posts

I'm on day 16 of my stall and it's really bothering me. I hate stalls. But the worst thing is my daughter woke up really sick yesterday and now I'm sick today. Fever, achy, super tired, sick to my stomach, bad headache, runny/stuffy nose. I'm drinking the Fairlife Protein Shake (with caffeine) and eating fruit because honestly, that's all I can do. I normally get my Protein from my food but I have a feeling that while I'm sick I'll be getting half or a little more from my shakes and Protein Drinks. Nothing is sitting right in my stomach besides fruit. Not sure how that's going to affect my weight, but I'll worry about it later. I hate being sick. Blah....

Sorry you’re not feeling well. Just wondering though if the dairy in the shakes may be upsetting your tummy while you are sick?? Often dairy products cause extra mucus production & are best avoided when you have a runny nose. Blander food may be easier to tolerate. Soups may be your best bet at the moment. Just a suggestion. Hope you both recover quickly.

Fruit is excellent for your Vitamin C. I especially second the Soup suggestion. It will help you keep hydrated while you are sick. I eat soup almost every day. Helps with both the hunger (especially on those bottomless pit days) and hydration for me.

Ooh man. Being sick is the pits but being sick while caring for someone else is even worse. I hope you both feel better real soon.

I had my husband get me some sugar free popsicles and some chicken noodle soup (I strained out the broth and kept the chicken but threw out the noodles). I'm just sleeping the weekend away, snuggling with my daughter and watching Netflix between naps.

Thanks :) As miserable as I feel, I hate seeing my daughter sick even more. My mommy heart absolutely HATES it when my kids are sick.

Still super sick, but my stall finally broke!!!! 18 days.....ugh. But at least that's a bright spot in my day. My daughter is starting to get better but my husband and I are miserably sick. My 2 cats are trying to "take care" of us. It's so cute!!! Milo will be 3 in Sept and Asher is 4 1/2 months old. No working out for me for a while, which is driving me nuts. I love my workouts. But I can barely make it across the apartment without feeling sick. Ugh...

Sounds awful. Have you tested yourself for Covid? Hope you feel better soon.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
