Am I Stalled Or Never Going To Lose The Weight



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone I just wanted to tell everyone what is going on and hopefully i can get some advise....i had my surgery on the 8th and i've lost only 11 lbs but ive been stalled at 11 lbs for like 4-5 days..what is going on??so I looked at what i'm doing and the only thing i can think of that may have caused the problem is cream of potato Soup that i've had several times..they said cream Soups were fine and i haven't liked the chicken or mushroom or the broths very much so tried the potato and when i looked today after not losing anymore it says that it has 15 g carbs and i'm just not sure if that is bad or not and if that caused me to not lose or if im doing good but in a stall..i've heard of 2nd week stalls but 1st week stalls???other that that im drinking my Protein, sugar free jell-o, pudding , light yogurt and thats pretty much all i eat every day...i'm so ready for the next stage...also i just started walking today so other than taking care of my babies and constantly being up walking around the house i havent had much exercise...I just wanted to break this down and see if anyone has any thoughts . I'm really hoping to start losing more..also my starting weight was 214 so my weight lose may be slower that some peoples....uggghhh i just don't know...

My life changed on the 5th and I feel almost the same way as you. I have a deal with myself that I wasn't going to weigh myself until I was a week into normal food (end of week 4). Your body has to adjust to what has happened to it and its not fair to you and your emotions while this process is going on.

Good luck

I was sleeved on the 6th and have lost 12lbs since surgery. I have also experienced a stall for the past 4-5 days despite walking an hour everyday for the last week! Am only on liquid diet and drinking my Protein Shakes so can't be what I eat .... so just hang in there I am sure we will see some scale movement soon!! I have decided I will only weigh myself weekly from now on .....

      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.
