Stalled for almost a week



Recommended Posts

Well after losing 36 lbs in like 17 days my body seems to have said "stop the craziness!!!" lol. Monday I was 36 lbs down tuesday I was up a lb wed up another, And this morning back down to 36lbs lost. So I know it will pass, but wow did I get spoiled losing so much so fast lol!

So things that I figure are factors. I am not getting anywhere near enough fluids and protien in. Though thelast two days I have gotten in about 40 grs protien and 60 oz liquid. I am considering attaching a garden drip system to a hat so it can drip Water in my mouth all day. Lol. That would be a site to see. :-)

I also have had really high salt content this week, I have been having a can of potted meat for lunch, 3 oz 15 gr Protein but rhe salt content is really high soni suspect that is part of it. Anyway I was glad to see the scale go down today, hopefully it will

Continue that direction

Stalls are normal. Do watch that salt and the water/protein intake... it will catch up with you, but I think that perhaps losing so fast is what is not normal... so enjoy and take care!

Yeah, it will pass. My stall lasted a week and a half fluxing between 176 and 179 now it fluxing between 174 and 176. Keep in mnd that it is all Water weight because you are not getting in near enough calories to actually gain fat weight. Good job!

      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.
