Stall ... Plateau ... Whatever, This Sucks



Recommended Posts

This is my first post. I needed to check in with my fellow December people. Im pretty frustrated, because I'm going on 6 weeks at the same weight. Now mind you I'm doing great. Started at 301 and I'm down to 240, but I've been there now for almost 7 weeks. Anyone else stuck in this 3 month stall? I'm trying to keep my spirits up, thinking this is what the body does and it will strt losing again, but that mindset started to erode after 4 weeks of stalling ... Grrr. I think that I just need to give it more time.

I've been stuck too, I've lost 4 pounds since the beginning of February :( I just realized I dont think i am drinking enough Water, so im going to try harder to do that. Im getting in all my Protein, and am active (probably not as much as i should be though). I've read that you might be able to jump start the weight loss again if you load up on calories and fat for one day, and then go back to eating regular, that might help. I think thats what got me to lose the 4 lbs in one week last month. Just keep your head up. Everyone keeps telling me they can see the weight coming off, even though Im not losing lbs. Im trying not to get discouraged the scale isnt moving, and i barely weigh myself anymore, cuz i get annoyed when I am not showing any loss.

      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.
