Well it happened



Recommended Posts

Four months out and I hit my first stall.

I was down 60lbs a month ago. Now it is 64. ( was 65 but gained a pound over my birthday weekend) I have been at the same weight for about 2 1/2 weeks. Not complaining as I knew this was bound to happen. Just stinks that it did. I will just keep on keeping on. This weight will come off. Guess my body just needed a rest.

I had my first stall at 9 weeks. It lasted 2 weeks. Now I'm losing a pound a day since. Very strange to me. I didn't lose it that quickly pre-stall.

Heh.. Sometimes the best thing to do is ignore it and it will go away. ;)

Consider yourself fortunate that you didn't hit a stall until then! Mine was at 3 weeks and lasted 2 weeks, talk about frustrating!

I increased my Fluid intake along with Protein and it finally budged to 3 pounds.

Now I have promised myself I am not going to weigh everyday.....hopefully it will last!

I weigh myself at the Dr's office about every 6 weeks...If you weigh yourself too much then it gets scary..Every day is just asking for disappointment.. I never weighed myself when I was really heavy and now I am doing it this way so that I don't get worried about all the little things ........

I feel so much better now and am working at the pace my body is dictating........As long as I follow the plan and remember that the sleeve is a tool..I know it will come off!!!!!

All the best!!

I just broke my stall doing the 5 day pouch test. Started it Sunday and was 192.5 ... yesterday evening i was 188.. and this morning i was 186. I was relieved and even tho the first 2 days are liquid, you see such an improvement that your immediately motivated!

I was thinking if no movement in the scale by the end of this week, I'll be giving that a try.

      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.
