Its Offical Im In A Stall



Recommended Posts

I am 4 weeks out of surgery...and I have also hit a stall. At three weeks out of surgery, I had lost 29 pounds...and now nothing, for about a week. It actually has me very worried, that I'm not doing something correctly. I'm sorry to hear of all of you having a stall also, but it really helps me knowing that I am not alone in this. For the people that have had stalls before...how long did your stall usually last? Just curious. This is a great forum.

Nearly a week and no loss and no loss of inches... Is my body used to this amount of food?

29 in 3 weeks is fantastic!! Happy to say that my first and only stall so far (almost 5 months out) is over I am down another 2 57 overall. If you type in stall in the search you will see a ton of helpful things to get you through but talking about it was the best thing for me!! Good luck

29 lbs is fantastic. I am 13 months out and I hit many many stalls along the way. Trust me they are very discouraging and no fun. I hit my first one at the 3-4 weeks post op mark and it probably lasted about 2 weeks. This is very normal so don't get worried. I have hit stalls that lasted 2 months already where I swore that I wasn't going to lose another pound. Trust me when I say you have to keep doing what your doctor told you to do and it will come off. I have even had times where I gained a couple pounds. Then the next week I would lose the couple pounds I gained plus lose a couple more. Our bodies are all different but majority of us all hit stalls and they are completely normal and and frustrating as well. Hang in there you are off to a great start!

Regarding the "no BM".....I have found "Smooth Move" tea very helpful. I drink a cup before I go to bed and the next day I'm usually back on track....no cramping or nausea either. I get mine at Target.

      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.
