Stalling Still



Recommended Posts

Do a search for three week stall. Just about everyone goes through it. Normally it doesn't last but a few weeks. Mine lasted 3 months. :wacko:

It's your body trying to adjust, or find equilibrium, as I normally put it. Don't try to "fix" it - just be patient. Changing up a bunch of things to try and "fix" it could make it worse. If you hit 5, maybe 6 weeks of stall then start reviewing what you're doing. But until then just keep up your hydration and Protein. It will pass, guaranteed.

Read the link to the article in my sig. It will explain why the scale isn't moving. Initially your body was just burning all your excess glycogen stores, along with quite a bit of Water weight. After 3 weeks or so your body starts to replenish all that glycogen along with all that water. It has to for you to have any energy. But it has nothing to do with your fat content. You're still burning fat, but the water gain is equalizing your weight. Soon the water and glycogen reserves will be restored and your weight will begin to fall.

      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.
