wl stall :(
I had rny surgery on oct 2nd and i havent lost anything this past week and a half.. its makjng me nervous because the first month youre supposed to lose a lot! I do have pcos and my dr Cut my metformin and spirolactone once i had my surgery. Im just wondering if a) this stall is normal so soon after surgery or b) if i need to go back on metformin.. my neck is starting to get dark again which is making me worry too.. which i know means excess sugar in the bloodstream. Does anybody take met after surgery? Blahhh! Somebody help!!
So the dr said i can take metformin again because im starting to get a dark ring aroumd my neck (from elevated sugar levels) my dr said no to the spirolactone because my blood pressure has super dropped! Apparently metformin is absorbed better now so literally my dosage when to 2000mg down to 500mg and i have to be careful to not get low blood sugar- which has happened atleast once a day.. ill let you know of the weightloss starys again now that im on the met :)

I never was able to take metformin I had steroid injections. I stalled after VSG for 3 weeks because I had lost so much the 1st month of surgery. Give it time and make sure you are doing what you are suppose to. I noticed if I don't take in the right about of fluid I don't lose and If my protein level is low I don't lose.
