Stall- Hard to accept



Recommended Posts

I am three weeks out from surgery. The first week I lost 14 lbs, the second week 6 and then this week I gained 4 lbs. I have read all the things on here about stalls and how my body is adjusting but it is just so hard to accept that I actually gained weight. I went through this surgery to lose. I could have gained weight without it. I keep telliing myself that it will get better but my head keeps saying I am going to fail. I am eating between 500-700 calories, taking my Vitamins, and getting in all my Protein and liquids. I am doing everything right. It is just so hard to step on the scale and see that extra 4 lbs. I just I wanted to come here and vent because I knew all of them would understand.

I understand I've been there done that and I'm still doing it! It's a long road but we are now traveling In the right direction! There is going to be some pot holes and speed bumps along the way but, we will get there!!

Slowly, safely and surely!!

When I was two weeks I hit a stall and it didn't move again until I was almost 7 weeks and I'm only taking in 300 calories a day. But while I was on the stall I went down 2 sizes. So it all works out somehow. I do know how you feel. I wondered what was the point of having the surgery. And it was so hard being happy for others when they come on to share their successes and you feel like it's never going to happen for you. But it will. Just give it some time.

I've been in a stall since before the holidays! I've started exercising again so I hope the scale starts to budge for me. You too! Best wishes for some scale gratification!

      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.
