4 Weeks Out/up And Down With Weight



Recommended Posts

I am 4 weeks out and already stuck. Eating very small portions 3 times a day. Still in the mush sewage but only lost 1 lb this whole week. Discouraged! HELP!

This too will pass. Just keep doing what your doing and eventually the stall will break. You could eat a little more and that may fool your body out of starvation mode. I am told stalls are your bodies way of adjusting to the change.

I lost 7 pounds in the first 7 days then not an ounce for 11 days. It will happen. I think we all are ready but it will happened.

Add a snack mid morning and evening...watch how it falls off! We have been trained to think that if we eat less we lose more , but in fact the opposite! I stalled at 1 month 15 pounds couldn't move the scale..as soon as i added more calories it started to happen , now I'm almost 3 months and down 45 pounds! We are all going to have stalls at some point! I made it up but ..I think stalls are when your body loses inches!!

I am 10 pounds from ONEderland! So excited and my non scale victory toay is I'm 3 pounds from weighing less than my husband!! Keep the faith it WILL happen ...:)

A piece of fruit, jiffy makes individual Peanut Butter packets which I can eat 1/2 of with apple pieces, a piece of string cheese, a plum, necatrine, I also add PB2 to my Protein shakes which gives me a few more grams of Protein and a few extra calories...I don't really count calories , I count protein! It's delish btw!! Umm other snacks .....a Protein Bar ( I can eat half) even frozen yogurt !...ohhh a ham and cheese doobie! Or turkey and ham...I get full so fast...eating is no fun anymore...and I LOVE it! Lol

I've seen it in grocery store read the nutrition facts and put it down loaded with sugar and fat

      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?

      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.
