2 week stall at about 2 1/2 months post op

[canuckpaisa 61]

Anyone else have a long stall at this time period?

Exercising (swim/eliptical) 45 mins 5x a week

Cals between 800 and 1200 as per NUT

80+ OZ Water and high Protein

Have been losing at a pretty darn good clip till now. Kind of depressing as even with WW I would average over 2 lbs a week

Wondering if the 600cals post op really screwed up my metabolism

Love to hear from others who had a stall at this time and what they did about it

I am 2 1/2 months out as well and also in a stall.

I am getting in around 700-800 calories a day and around 70-80 grams of protien. Water not too good maybe 30 ounces on a good day.

I figured i am adding more Water and joined the gym yesterday. Hopefully this will catapult me out of my 2 week stall!

Good Luck!

This is very normal. The key is 60-80 grams of Protein daily, eat carbs because they give your body energy, drink Water and exercise. When you add excercise to the mix it confuses the body even more and it needs some time to catch up. Trust me it will catch up. I was in a 3 week stall at 35lbs...happy to say i am now at 50lbs, joined a gym...confused my body but when it caught up it caught up fast!! Dont stress it keep going and the weight will come off. By the way...GREAT job!! Dont forget to Celebrate your success!!

I'm living it right now!! I'm doing everything right and nothing!! It's like my body wants to stay at a certain weight. Ugh

I am currently in my 4th stall since surgery and I am just shy of 10 weeks. I have come to the realization that this is how I am going to lose. I hit a new low, stall for a few days, watch the weight bounce up and down for about a week and then hit a new all time low... usually about 3-4lbs less.

mikeross - how many calls/water/pr/exercise are you at/doing

It will be 5 weeks on Wednesday 5 April. At my two week post op I had lost 18 pounds this include my 11 days opti-fast that was required. I have not lost anything since. It will be three weeks since that weigh in 6 days. Im really trying to stay off the scale because I know it will past but its hard.

[mikeross 216]

I eat 750-950 calories, 100g+ Protein, 100oz+ Water and 50g carbs. I consume the majority of those carbs during my post workout.

I was walking a week out and started going to the gym at 3 weeks. Up until last week I was lifting 5-6days a week and doing cardio 7 days a week. I don't really like cardio so I do 20mins HIIT cardio after my workout.

This week I have changed my routine though to 3 days on, 1 day off.

day 1- Chest, triceps, shoulders, 20min HIIT

day 2- Back, biceps, traps, 20min HIIT

day 3- legs, 20min HIIT

day 4- rest, Might do cardio, depends on how I feel.

I do abs and calfs every other day.
