Finally - stall is broken



Recommended Posts

WOOHOO! I broke my 3 week stall! Only by 1 pound but I broke it. Since I had gotten out of the hospital with the complicatons I bounced from 203 to 204. Today I was 202.0!

I realized that I was not eating enough calories. My carb intake stays pretty close to 30. My Protein is hitting 50-65. But I'm lucky if I hit 500 calories. It seems the stuff that has the best protein doesnt have many calories. I could add a Protein Bar in there but then my carbs would skyrocket. Does anyone else have this problem ?

Try Jay Robb chocolate whey Protein shake. With one cup of lactaid fat free milk, it is 33 grams Protein and 190 calories.

Laughing Cow cheese wedges, four tiny wedges throughout the day for Snacks will add 10 gms of protein and 140 calories!

Get 600-800 calories, 70 or more gms protein and at least 65 ounces of fluids will give you the best wt loss. Below that, the body does not like to shake it off for some reason. Congratulations of breaking the stall!

I had a stall 3 weeks out and then I started losing again. Now this past week I gained 1 pound and then I had another stall. I am hoping that I will get back down below what weighed on Jan. 22. Maybe in 1-2 days I will be there. My weight was 204.2 on Jan. 22. I am trying to get more Protein in and I need to pay more attention to how many calories I am getting in each day. I have not been counting calories in the 7 weeks since surgery. I had surgery on Dec.22 and I have lost 28 pounds since surgery. ( I lost 34 pounds from

July 1 until Dec. 1 before surgery.) I just try to stay positive and keep coming on here for advice and support from other sleevers. I wish everyone all the best on your journeys!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
