Have Been On 3 Weeks Stall =(



Recommended Posts

Good morning everyone!! It's been 5 months already, hurray! So far down 71 lbs but for the last 3 weeks I haven't lost anything =(... Still exercising 5 times a week and eating the same amounts.. but not sure if its a normal stall or what! Anyone experienced a stall around this month? I'm just thinking its weird since I am burning what I intake, maybe it is the muscle I am gaining.. The trainer measured me and I did increase muscle on my legs... not sure if that is holding me back..

Yes, I am 5 months out too and yes, stalls are common for me now. I am working out too and stalling for 1-2 weeks then lose 3-5 lbs, stalling again and losing again...weird cycle but at least I am still losing.

Pshaw! 3 weeks ain't nothin'! LOL

Just keep going, keep your calories UP, don't skimp, and you will lose weight - you are probably losing inches!

You are doing great! Dont forget that!

I'm six months out and stall constantly. I stalled for about a month around 4.5 months. That is around the time that I started hiking strenuously. For me, it's the carbs that don't sit well with me unless I'm actually hiking that day.

Be sure to read Benjammin's post on stalls, Good stuff! That explains the exercise, stall, gain a bit, lose inches, then lose more weight scenario I am going through.

      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.
