I think I'm eating that's y I'm stalling! Anyone else have this problem??? I had surgery 2/23 and I was 253 and now I'm 235 It's been two weeks and I'm not losing anything... Or if I lost I gained it right back and it sucks! I don't know maybe I need to close my mouth and exercise more. It's so hard because I didn't prepare to be on a diet or change my eating habits due to the fact that I had my surgery in Mexico

Ok... Well just because you had it in Mexico and didn't prepare yourself it's not to late. You just have to want to put a plan into action and follow it. Are you starting with Protein when you eat?

I think that stalling is completely normal. Just because the scale is not moving, does not mean that your body is not changing. :)

Question, not meaning for this to sound harsh but, just because you had your surgery in Mexico there still should have been some planning and researching done. WLS is a drastic change and to go have the surgery without any planning on diet changes is surprising to me. Have you done research as to what you should and should not be eating? What kind of things are you eating now?

I did some research of course but I still feel I'm not following it like I should. In the morning I drink my Protein lean shake from GNC. Then I still yap on a lil food here in there. N yesterday was the first day I went out for dinner big mistake I had some spinach and artichoke dip with a lil salsa. I do admit I'm being harsh on myself! When I was eating I had an uncomfortable feeling. I did stop after a while.

Well that's not to bad.. Why not start a food diary like my "fitness pal"or I do "calorie counter"

And log your food everyday.

Make sure you make Protein and Water goals and hit them ever day

Like 60 to 80 grams protein

And 64 to 80 oz of water..

Well we are our worst critic... There are lots of good threads on here with food ideas. My surgeon does not allow regular food till at least 8 weeks out. Make sure you are trying to make the best food decisions as there is still a risk for leak at this point. Dont be too hard on yourself.

A bunch of my friends (sleevers and non-sleevers) are doing the "Bootcamp" this Monday-Friday that was detailed on another thread. Why don't you try it with us this week?

It will come off, I promise you. We all go through stalls. Just try to get in as much Protein as you can (I know this can be hard) and drink tons of Water. I think the Water is really key, though Protein is important too. Good luck!

You should try and live I'm not meaning like eat every thing in site but allow your self the things u like in moderation I don't kno if this work for everyone but it works for me I don't feel guilty about anything I eat.. The good thing for me is that I never had a sweet tooth .. I kno that when some ppl subject them self to such high standards u could fail make small goals and take it one day at a time we can do it .. I don't see my self as ppl on a diet I want to be as close to not being on one as possible just healthy choices duets never worked for me

Regardless of where u had surgery our eating habits wld need to change or we will gain the weight right back. I had my surgery in Mexico and hv changed my eating habits. Not sure why you wld think having it there you wouldn't hv too. The most important thing for success in this surgery is to learn to eat diff. Protein first then veggies.

About Your stall... what has worked for me is fluctuating my calories, carbs, protein daily or several times a week. I am over 8 months out and my calorie goal is 1000 (I fluctuate 600-1000 & sometimes over that), carbs (fluctuate 20-60 normally not 60 but I dont freak out if it is that or more every once in awhile) & protein I get as much as I can. Sometimes its 70 or 80 & at times 60. Do you use myfitnesspal app to track your calories, carbs, protein, act? Do yo hv a goal? I realize that everyone's body is diff so what works for me may not work for you. You just hv to experience diff ways and see what works.

Dont get discouraged you can do this!

      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.
