I think I figured out how to break this stall



Recommended Posts

so i use fitclick to log my food so i went back to december because it seems to be when i was losing 2-3lbs a week to see what i was eating and its seems my carbs averaged out to be higher than my protien intake. so instead of taking in 80+ on protien i will reduce it back to 60-75grams aday and my carbs at about 100grams. i am going to try for a whole week to see what happens. i have tried everything else so lets try this. plus i added working out but the scale and inches are not moving . i will let you guys know what happens

The same actually happens for me as well. I couldn't believe it, if I don't eat enough carbs I don't lose, too much Protein and I stall.

I had this experience this past weekend. My weight loss slowed way down. This weekend I ate with my family and didn't stress about my carbs. I had 1/5 sandwich, a 2 oz noodles and some other carbs and I started losing again. I plan to keep my carbs higher now.

      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.
