Another Stall Story

Ok, I've been here before.  This is my second WLS so I know how it goes.  I am not a fast loser.  I did very well at first.  I lost 16 lbs the two weeks and about 10 lbs the next.  Now no weight loss for a week.  I told myself that I would only weigh at the doctors office but of course I couldn't do it.  I am following my nut program and tracking my food.  I get enough water and protein and am eating about 700 calories a day.  I have not gotten into an exercise program yet, though.  One of the main reasons I had this surgery is because I have been suffering from bad fatigue  for about 2 years and felt certain that it was related to my malabsorption.  I also had severe diarrhea.  That is gone, thank God but I am still tired almost 4 weeks out from my open surgery.  I am starting to feel better and I am hopeful that I will regain my energy now.  The only exercise I can do right now is walk.  I am going to try to do that every day and when my doctor clears me I may join a gym if I can afford it. 
I think the main reason that the stall is worrying me is because my surgeon warned me (twice) that I may not lose weight with the revision.  I don't know if he meant because I had already failed one WLS that I am more likely to fail another or if there is a physical reason for me not to lose.  I am happy to have lost what I have and mostly I am happy to not have the diarrhea so I guess if this is the best I can do I will live with it.

Hi, I don't know what to tell you except I FEEL your pain.  I am in the 3rd week of a stall.  I posted on this subject yesterday.  I am eating a little bit more than you...so I may have to tweek that a little.  Not sure what your Dr. meant either, but I am sure glad your diarrhea has gone!!!  After my first wk of surg my wt loss slowed down to about 2 lbs a week which I think is acceptable... exept during my stalls...this is the 2nd one for me at 14 wks out!!!  Hang in there and good luck to us both.

Hang in there, if you are following the guidelines, the weight will eventually come off.
Glad the diarrhea is gone.
