Plateau- What's Your Longest?



Recommended Posts

I had surgery almost 7 weeks ago and I lost 20 the first month- awesome BUT I haven't lost a pound for the last two and a half weeks! How long am I going to plateau? I have been eating 800-1000 calories today and my Protein has been good, workouts have been good. Just wish I knew how long I am going to hang out at the same weight. I didn't think I would plateau for this long. :(

Damn plateaus, suck @$$ I was stalled for 3 weeks at one point. I am now under my goal weight at 123 pounds. I do not think I will lose any more at this point but only maintain.

oddly enough, if you eat a little more the stall will pass. Your body gets use to the amount of calories you put in it. Try eating a little more for a couple of days

Longest one was 3 weeks in length at 5 weeks. The others have been between 3-5 days since then. They usually break on their own, but I do make sure to keep the plan going through them.

Thanks for your feedback. Do you feel like you do anything different when you are plateauing? I.E. more calories, less calories, more or less exercise? Just curious.

I created the ticker via the MFP website - click the Apps tab and then click Tickers. After you create your ticker, copy the code (I can't remember if it is the BBcode or HTML code. Then pop back to VST. Click on your profile, select Edit Profile, and then click Signature. Paste the code. :)

If your signature just displays the code after you save the changes, try the other type of code. If it STILL just displays the code, let me know. Ican't remember if I just used the image URL and added the image of the ticker via the Image button. :blink:

But on phones, which many of us use, we can't see tickers.

Whats your name on MFP?

If you're on an iPhone, just tap the post and you can see the posters ticker. Doesn't work on android phones though.

      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.
