To all the stallers....



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to say hang in there!!!! I hit the DREADED and LONG 3 week stall (about 8 days) and it finally broke and I am now back to the same quick loss as right after surgery. Hang in there and stay positive.

The favorite mantra was "we HAVE to lose weight... we're only consuming 600 cals per day!"

Well, that is my mantra too cause it just doesn't make any sense that I'm not losing when I'm eating 600 cal./day! Nevertheless, I have been stuck at the same weight for about 2 1/2 weeks! I'm eight weeks out and have only lost 24 lbs. since surgery. I lost 11 lbs. pre-surgery. I'm trying not to panic here!

Since month 3 I've lost 10-12 lbs quickly then stalled for 2-3 weeks and then started the cycle over. It's frustrating but the loss does begin again. Don't panic, Kaehl. Try shaking things up as others have said. I broke my first stall by adding a Protein snack and upping my calories. I just broke my most recent stall by upping Water beyond the required 64 oz.

I broke my lastest stall with increasing my Water, lowering my carbs and increased my walking. With our cold weather it has been hard going out to walk everyday. The good new is during a stall, I am not gaining weight. I just realize the next time I see my daughter I will weigh less then she has ever seen me. We live 5 hours away and she has not seen me since I had surgery. I am hoping for another 10 lbs in 30 days before I head to New Orleans for Mardi Gras weekend. :D

      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.
