 WA RNY (01/13/12) Member Since: 12/23/11[Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/9/12 11:34 am Nearly 4 weeks out (will be 4 weeks tomorrow) So I haven't lost any weight for 5 days--what the heck? This is the point where my weight loss stops every time. I never really get under this weight. I thought maybe it was because I had been, ahem, constipated for 3 days but that ended rather painfully yesterday and this morning, same weight. Sigh. And most days I feel kind of yuck, so I've been taking zolpidem every day to overcome nausea. Yesterday toothpaste made me throw up. Geez. This morning all I've been able to stomach is half a protein shake, and have been sipping on water. What is going on? Sparkle Plenty   |

Member Since: 03/03/11 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/9/12 12:08 pm Last Edit: 2/9/12 12:09 pm Hopefully, this will make you laugh but when I ran down the list of topics with my mono-vision as it is I thought your topic read "Stalked Already" not "Stalled Already."  I find that I lose weight in a stair step fashion and this may be what you are experiencing. It is frustrating but hang in there and the scale will start moving again. I am a slow, slow loser so I know what it feels like to not see progress. I think you are doing awesome...just stick to your plan and do what is good for you.

WI Member Since: 10/08/10 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/9/12 12:16 pm If you aren't getting protein in that can hinder your weight loss. Your body will go through adjustment periods all of the time. I never called them stalls. Too negative for my brain. Sarah  |

waukesha, WI Member Since: 01/22/12 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/9/12 1:32 pm Zolpidem for nause? I am pretty sure that is a hypnotic used for sleep disorders. Be careful when you drive, if using it during the day. |

 Midlothian, TX Member Since: 08/11/07 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/9/12 1:50 pm Zolpidem is for insomnia. It's a hypnotic. I don't even know of any off label usage for nausea. You might ask for something else to help with that. Zofran works wonders for nausea. And 4 weeks is a typically stalling point for a lot of people post op.
