Ok, So A Stall? Best Way To Get Through It Fast?



Recommended Posts

I really shouldn't complain, I am almost 6 weeks and am at 46 pounds down. I started at 314. I have been at 268 for a week...actually, over the weekend I was up to 270! Do I just keep doing what I am doing that got the loss I have so far? Or do I change things up? As silly as it sounds, the weight went up when I started to go down and formally exercise! I also feel tenderness near my lower left incision which isn't unexpected I guess, but I haven't gone down to exercise again since. I didn't feel any pain at all during, I did treadmill and then the circuit of resistance machines.

I really want to be at 250 for labor day...I know it's a random goal, but it would be so awesome that I am still hoping for it :)

husband has been approved also for the sleeve and we are going on a 3 week cruise in October. He has decided to have it done after he comes back. going on a cruise even 3 months post-op trying to find options to eat might be difficult. I plan on taking my blender and Protein powder.

I've been on a lot of cruises. There are a lot of food choices and the maitre d will also serve special food for dietary needs. Just let your travel agent or the cruise line know what you will need. Also every ship has a Buffett where there are many selections of healthy food also. My mom had to be on a bland diet once due to some issues she was having, and the gladly puréed her food.

      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.
