Stuck At The Same Weight For 2 Weeks



Recommended Posts

I am almost 3 months post-op and I am at the same weight I was 2 weeks ago. One day it shows I have lost weight and then a day or 2 later that I have put on some weight. I have increased my exercised but it doesn't seem to matter. ANY suggestion on how to get past this?????

THANKS

Keep doing what you are doing. You have just hit a plateau and you are probably losing inches or toning up. Make sure you are getting enough calories and eating the right foods.

It is typical to hit a plateau every so often, and it is important to maintain your compliance with your diet.

Also, I have found that my weight loss slowed significantly if I did not eat enough Protein, and if I did not drink enough "free fluids" (SF and FF).

I have also read that changing up your exercise is supposed to help; if you have a set routine of exercises, change the type and perhaps the speed of your reps.

I halve also written in past posts that this band and weight loss journey has taught me a life skill which eluded me for most of my life: how to have patience and be patient...

Best wishes as your journey continues...and it will! :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
