Stall-please give feedback



Recommended Posts

Hello All. Today marks my 5th week completed, post op. I have only lost 4-5lbs in the last week and nothing in the last week. I am frustrated. Did anyone go through something similar in the same time period. I have always failed diets so my natural inclination is to think that I am going to fail at this. I am down 26-27lbs post op, however.

It is very normal. At 3 wks I totally stalled for 7 days I was panicking! I called my nutritionist and she said its very common at three weeks. It should break in about 10 days. It did and I went to loose steadily until 8 months and I had another 6 wk stall an I'm loosing again now. Don't worry it will melt off. Just enjoy ur restriction!

I was told when i hit a stall to increase my intake so now i set my timer to remind me to eat every two hours,i eat even if i'm not hungry,because i can only eat small amounts anyway,because if i listen to my stomach i will never eat lol,,so the key to losing weight is to eat,and also you could be losing inches that will not show on the scale..and also i was walking on my treadmill and i stop a while to see what my body is doing,and it start moving faster,i know that crazy,but i will start back again,so just give it time it will start back again,and only do your weight once a week i know it's hard.so don't get discourage :).

The standard "3 wk stall". No worries. It can last a few days or even a couple of weeks, but you will get past it. Im 4 wks out and have been teetering with the same pound for a week now. Uping my Protein and cals a bit today. However, despite the scales determination not to move, I've lost up to 2 inches on most areas of my body. Good luck.

Yep - it happened to me too. Then about every other week there is a stall for a while then a couple pounds will finally drop off. I wanted it to be faster and more consistent but I'll take what I can get.

keep the faith!

      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.
