Need Advice About A Stall



Recommended Posts

I am wondering about some advice to help with a stall, I have lost about 43 lbs in 3 months, and I am hoping that is really good. But I am kinda stalled now and don't know what to do. I go to the gym sometime 2 times a week. But just not seeing a major difference. Any advice???

have you thought about upping your exercise? Maybe add san.extra day or two at the gym and see if that gets the scale moving again for u.

Are you just not dropping pounds? You should be looking at other things besides the scale. Take your measurements and see if you're losing inches. Are you able to do more than you could before? How is your energy level? Are you drinking enough Water? Our bodies will stop losing pounds while they adjust our measurements, or if we aren't drinking enough Water. Muscle truly weighs more than fat, and, since you're exercising, you may be developing muscle. That's a great thing!

Are your clothes looser? I walked out of my first size during a "stall". This last month has been so slow on loss, but I have literally watched my body adjust itself. I now have bicep and thigh muscles and I have the beginnings of a waist! I also lost three pants sizes last month! :)

Don't let the scale rule your life. Use the other NSVs (non scale victories) to tell you if you are truly in a stall or if your body is just doing some internal housekeeping. :)

At three months out, with Dr's permission, I would think you could exercise more than 2x a week, even a gentle daily 30 mi walk will make a difference.

I've had to add more excercise in to break my stall. Brisk walking is great. I'm also trying to watch what I eat. I don't eat alot but have made some bad choices on what I was eating,,makes a big difference.

ty all for the advice. I will try to add some more exercise and I do need to watch sometimes what I eat. For the most part I do really good. I hope all the walking I do in Disney World in 4 days will help 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.
