Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

| Super Moderator  | Awww ((((((HUGS))))))) No need to panic, or go on a funk, though. This is pretty much usual, and plenty of post ops have experienced it. Do a search for posts and threads with the word "plateau" or "stall" and you'll probably be flabbergasted at the number of posts that come up. Your body needs to adjust to the sudden big loss of weight, and it will do so on its own time schedule, not on the time schedule you hope it to be. Also, if you are getting around your monthlys, then you will be retaining water, and your weighloss will crawl, or even gain an lb or to due to the water. Don't slack up on the water though, because you need the water, even if your TOM is making you retain water. Also, even if your scale is not moving, you most likely are losing the inches. Aren't your clothes looser than before, even if your lbs haven't changed? When the scale is not moving, that is when you will blow through the inches. Yes, do try to get your protein intake up to where your surgeon wants it to be. Once your body gets used to the new you (you are still healing inside, you know) you will start losing again. Keep in mind, you are not going to lose and get to goal in one fell swoop, you will have bumps and slides, and it is more like going down the stairs, rather than sliding down the slope. So, hang in there, stick to your surgeon's instructions and the scale will start moving again.

| yma, don't panic. Take a deep breath, you'll be fine. I went through the same thing at about the same time post op. It will catch up. Just keep sipping and concentrate on your proteins Make sure you are actually eating enough! When this happened to me, DocSanae gave me good advice.... your body may think it's starving and you may actually need to kick it up a notch with more calories....I don't know how many calories you are consuming...but it's something to think about. From what you are eating, it looks like you are making good choices. Be patient, this will pass.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Totally agree with the above, I too hit my first stall about the same time as you. It happens every now and then and yes it is frustrating but know it won't last forever and your losing inches even if your not losing weight, time to get that tape measure out!! |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | What you are going through is totally normal. Your body is adjusting and you will have many more times like this as your body weight shifts, you build muscle and loose inches. Just keep following the program like you are and things will start to move again. We all go through them. I know how frustrating they can be thought. LittleLisaMarie
