Broke the stall (slowly)



Recommended Posts

I am in my 5th week post-op and my body is starting to grudgingly give up the weight after stalling at 3 weeks. I increased my Protein intake and walking time and I am losing about 1-2 lbs per week. This morning I saw 239.

I had a bad stall as well. I arrived at 180lbs from 220 and the scale would not move. I picked up my exercise to twice a day 30mins in the morn and 30 mins in the evening. i got rid of the scale temporarily but before I did, I was another 2lbs down...Don't get discouraged.

I hit a stall at 2 1/2 months out. It was my first stall and it was very depressing. Yes I knew it would happen, but having it happen made it real. So I put away the scales and said forget you I'm not going to go by numbers for a while and see how that goes. I continued eating the way I had been eating the past 2 1/2 months and stepped up my activities. After 2 weeks of not weighing I decided to give it a go, and Holy cow I stepped on the scales and seen 183!! I finally broke through 190 without even realizing it. Don't stress yourself out over little things like stalls I know I won't. The scales will eventually start moving again have faith!! I'm ready for my 3 month post op visit now.. I want to see how much I have lost going by the doctors scales. Considering they show I weigh more then my home scales.. LoL

      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.
