Stall! Flucuation -/+ 1 pound



Recommended Posts

I'm 3 weeks post op, and I think I'm hitting a stall!! :( I fluctuate between 212 and 213. One day I'm 212 the next 213 and so on... I'm frustrated I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Please some advice or suggestions!

Most everyone hits a stall at 3 weeks. Your body is playing catchup. Some people suggest increasing Water or calories. I didn't change anything and two weeks later started losing again. Stalls happen :)

I'm right there with you. I was three weeks out yesterday. Fluctuate between 212 and 213. Starting weight was 236. I'm still super excited though! Increasing my fluids. (As much as I can, lol). The stall isn't getting me down! We got this!!!

I also have stalled for the past 9 days from weeks 3to4 I'm just gonna continue what I'm doing and I'm sure it'll start coming off again. Don't feel discouraged, I have read where so many have stalls and then it starts coming off again! :)

      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.
