UGH!!! I finally hit a stall



Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Well I have been losing pretty well now. I lost a lot of weight. I was sleeved on October 29,2010 and I have lost about 100lbs so far. Now I am stuck around 300lbs. I dont know what is going on. I am 5'11" and I have a large frame. My dr wants me at 150-160 lbs but I will be happy with 185-200 lbs. Of course I am on solids and I can eat more calories. I eat Breakfast, lunch and dinner. with maybe 2 Snacks. I try to get down some form of Protein. I exercise at least 1 time a day either riding my exercise bike for 30 mins or walking 3 miles (with my 6month old lab puppy). I cant get a budge. And this has been for about a month. I dont have a scale cause I dont want to be constantly weighing myself, I use the scale at my local doctors office. They let me come in and weigh myself every week. I just need advice on what to do to break this stall. I know if I can break it, the next 100 lbs will melt off. So anyone have any advice, please HELP!!!

I'm in the same boat girl, stuck at 285 for a week now. I briefly flirted with 284 but went up a pound the next day.

Examine your diet make sure your not slipping something in that is increasing your caloric intake. If everything looks OK then just give it more time. It will come off.

Some say that a slight increase in carbs might get it moving again. I'm not sure about this.

      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.
