26 Days Out, Down 27Lbs, And At A Stall. Help!



Recommended Posts

I'm so comfused. I have been doing so good and working out at the gym so hard. Been so excited to look at the numbers on the scale going down but suddenly there not moving anymore? Wth? I'm doing the same things I have done since surgery when I was losing weight as I'm doing now but for some reason the weights not coming off the same. Only 1 lb down this week when its usually like 7? Any advise to brake this stall? Pleasseee help. I knew I would hit a stall but hoped it would be later rather than sooner. Know I feel lost and hopless.

I am 5 weeks out and have hit a stall as well. It is normal from what everyone is saying it happens to almost everyone 3-4 weeks out. I guess we just have to wait it out, though I hear ya it is frustrating.

Howdy. I've posted this link a couple of times already. It's a good article explaining why your body weight has stalled.

I was in a stall for 10 days. ( at week 3-4) But in that time dropped a size in clothes. Just plug away. It will pass :)

Give yourself a break!! A pound a day, are you kidding me? Your body often stalls to give itself time to adjust to the new eating (or not eating). Just keep to your eating plan and your weight will start to drop again.

I'm also at five weeks, almost six and stalled for a week now. Just when I was so excited about all the weight loss. I hope this stall is over soon....very frustrating.

      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.
