It Seams That My Weightloss Has Stoped



Recommended Posts

I am 5 months out and have stalled big time! 2 months at the same weight. I had to change up some meds and that seems to have done a number on me. Also' date=' I am losing hair by the handfulls! I am getting enough Protein according to my blood work, am good on Iron, thyroid is fine.....anybody else out there experience a stall this long and MASSIVE Hair loss even though you are doing everything correctly? Help!!!!!!!

The hair loss is apparently normal from what I have read on the forum, I'm losing my hair but I take 7,500 mcg of Biotin I still lose my hair but I have my new growth as well some say it doesn't work but I'm sticking to them I haven't stopped once on taking them. I get them at Puritan website although I'm sure they sell them anywhere. I've recently increased my excersise so they say muscle weighs more than fat. Are you noticing that your toning? From what I understand we will all experience stalls from time too time just stick to what your doing keep the faith and the weight will come off don't get discouraged. :))))))))

I am 6 weeks post and everything has come to a halt. I have been stuck for 10 days or so. I am dreading to get on the scale each day and record my results into my log. I am really scared to move to full food as I have stayed on my mush diet. I am afraid that if I start eating full foods I will gain weight. I am meeting with my Doc in two weeks but wish the scale would keep moving down. Advise?

It's been a year and I have lost 68lbs.. I have not gained but I'm @ a stand still needing to really readjust my diet & carefully watch everything I eat.. It's so frustrating but grateful @ the same time... I want to lose another 15 to 20 lbs... Is anyone else experiencing these issues??

You are not alone my friend! The same thing happened to me. My pattern has become, stall, drop a few, gain one......stall, drop a few, gain one......and the stall can last up to three weeks! But, in the scheme of things, we are still heading in the right direction!

I can tell you that I eat 1,000 calories a day and exercise 45 minutes a day and still I struggle. I have Hashimoto's (thyroid) disease also, so I think it affects me weight loss. You should get your thyroid checked!

Thank you I had it done the beginning of the year

It seem to be fine.. I also know its not meant 4 me to be a size 6 or 10... But a least 15-20 more lbs would b feasible.. Thanks for being helpful :-)

I know exactly how you feel, but from what I have learned here on the forums is it will happen it is normal. When I started this thread I was in a panic. I found that upping your exercise to more intense really helped quite a bit. So just keep doing what your doing follow all instructions given and you will get through this. :)

I am 5 months out and in a 2 week stall. I am glad I read this because I was getting very nervous about not losing anymore. I have increased my exercising since I really haven't been that dedicated to exercise until I hit the stall. It can be very depressing. I even decreased my food intake and increased my Protein intake. I hope I get past this soon!

      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.
