Stall at 2.5 weeks post op, Really?

Hey There Deb,

I totally understand about the dreaded 3 week stall!! Even though we've had different surgeries, it's still a very common event...and they are sooooo EVIL!!! One of the ladies from the VSG board blogged a very detailed explaination of why stalls happen and some very good suggestions on how to overcome them. I hope this helps :)

Hey Deb,

Breathe, relax, breathe and repeat!  You're doing great and a stall here and there is to be expected.  You don't have a super lot of weight to loose and sometimes it takes a while longer than if you had more to loose (be glad with that one!)  Hang in there girl, you're doing just fine.  Work on a little more protein and liquid and things will bust loose in no time.

Hugs,
Barb

I sure hope you're right Barb.  I'm trying to  get in more protein from higher sources but dang it's hard.  All im eating as it is is egg white omelets, poached fish, moist canned chicken, and some tofu.............  gonna mix my smoked salmon with my l/f laughing cow cheese and see how that works.  Until I can eat salad i think im just gonna struggle with fish/salmon. 

I agree with Barb.  She is very wise!  Remember you lost a bunch before surgery too.  Hang in there it will come off.  I am taking in about 58-60 grams in the protein shake and protein water.  Then eating small amount for the rest.  I know I am repeating myself.  Have fun at the beach!
