Anyone Plateau After Puree?



Recommended Posts

My weight loss has stayed still for a week :-( I was losing a pound a day when on just liquids. Who has experienced this? Is this normal?

How long has it been since your surgery? I am still pre-op, but you may want to look at this information about why the weight loss stalls from time to time: http://www.dsfacts.com/weight-loss-stall-or-plateau.html

I stalled after they advanced me. It was so very discouraging for me, especially since I weigh myself every morning. I finally took someone else's advice and just started weighing in once a week. Stress and stall were both over!

The other thing that I have to ALWAYS keep in mind is that I didn't pile all this weight on overnight, so I'm not going to lose it overnight. Be patient with yourself. Nurture you body, your mind, and your soul. Once I started doing those things, it all started happening.

Best of luck to you! :)

I stalled at 2 weeks post op and stayed there for 4 more weeks. It will start to come off again. scales are your enemy. As long as you are losing inches and dropping clothes sizes you are still doing good. Don't worry. Dr told me I was doing great even after hitting the stall. I was told to get me some loaded potato Soup. I bought mine from Sam's Club. Some restaurants sale it also. It does change the calorie intake up and then you start losing again.

Me! I'm in a stall right now. I didn't even think about being because of pureed foods but it did start when I started them I'm 3 weeks out and I have gained one pound in the last five days!

Are you getting enough Water? Also make sure your getting enough Protein that can affect your weight loss. Causing you to stall.

      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.
