Was Feeling Down About Stall But...



Recommended Posts

Have been in a major stall, only 3 lbs in the last month which has me feeling down. I know going from size 22 to 14 in 7 months and 72 lbs gone is a huge accomplishment but still the stall sucks. I cleaned out a drawer full of jeans today and thought for fun I would put on those 22s just to see. I couldn't believe how baggy they were! Really helped remind me of how well I am doing and made me feel good. I am going to hang on to those jeans and put them on if I start feeling down about a stall again. Just wanted to share.

It is pretty common for the weight loss to slow down after 6-7 months because that is when everything has healed but it does still come off. You have averaged over 10lbs a month that is marvelous!

I have lost 85# since February 24. The last month my weight has fluctuated between 203 and 197. It is very agrivating. My trainer at the gym pointed out that over the last two months I have lost 10 # and 6 inches and about 4% body fat. Thank God. But I still want to see the scale move as well. They say muscle weighs more than fat. So I guess I am losing fat and gaining muscle.

      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.
