What Is This A Stall Or What? Help



Recommended Posts

I'm 4 weeks out and was cleared by my doc to eat normal foods again . I started out at 247 and im now at 218.5. I'm really pleased with the weight I have lost but 3 days ago I was 215 . I haven't lost a pound in a week in a half in fact I've gained 3 pounds. I'm not eating unhealthy and I'm doing the 3 meals with 3 healthy Snacks. I'm getting at least 60-75 grams of Protein and about 62 ounces of gaterade / Water everyday . I will be honest I'm not taking the Vitamins like I should in fact the vitamins are my weakness . I hate them they make me nauseated. I do exercise 3 days a week . I'm so discouraged and unsure about what's happening to my body :(

First thing, Stalls are completely normal. To get though them you need to change up your retain. Stop drinker Gaterade. Try Cristal Light. and increase your exercise to 4 or 5 time a week. I just start with walking for a half an hour. If your not using MyFitnessPal, start. Most of us here use it for food tracking. There is a form just for them. About Vitamins, there are many different kind out there. Many of us use Flintstone chewable.< /p>

Good point with the Gaterade. I'm drinking the G2 with 7 g of sugar and 7 g of carbs. I did download my fitness app and have been using it faithfully consuming about 600 calories QD which I expect to go up by a tad this week as I phase in normal food . Im a full time nurse with 3 children and a husband and I can not commit to anymore exercise than I already am. I think I trip my NUT is due becuase im just confused !!

Don't be discouraged......stalls do happen. Put "stall" in the search engine and read other folks' stories about their stalls. Everyone's journey is different so never compare your weight loss to others! You may not be dropping pounds.....but you may be dropping inches :)

Try Propel Zero, Sobe Zero, & Vitamin Water Zero. Great taste, no sugar :).

I take Celebrate chewable vitamins (Amazon.com or NUT) & had no problems as long as I don't take the one's w/iron & I take them w/dinner. If I feel sick, I'm asleep & don't know it ;)

& when u exercise, make sure your heart rate is where it should be for however long it should be.

Lots of luck. I haven't had a stall yet, but I'm definately in a slooooowwwwww draaaaggg. I'm trying to pump myself up for change too.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
