I FINALLY broke thru my 2 week stall! Lost a whole lb! And what to ask the RD today?



Recommended Posts

Yeah! Not sure there's enuf posts on here about stalls, so I thought I'd add yet another. I'm almost 8 weeks out and hadn't lost anything in the last 2 1/2. Every single morning (yes, I'm 1 of those daily weighers! Plz no judging) I anticipate a loss and every single morning I'm faced with the scale saying yet the exact same weight. I've only lost 18 lbs in 8 weeks. While I started at a bmi of 28 (I'm a band revision) I knew I would lose slower, but this is getting ridiculous.

So yesterday I thought I'd change it up a bit and actually count my calories. While I thought I knew the "range", I haven't actually counted them since being sleeved (seems much too like a diet to me). I came close to 800. I guess thats the magic number. I can easily do 800 (wasn't deprived or hungry at all) and even spared an extra 100 calories for 4 oz of red wine!

I see the RD today for the 1st time. Not sure what to ask him. I'm pretty much a nutrition expert myself by now. I guess that's why I'm still fat, huh? Did u guys have a list of ?'s to ask ur RD or did u let them lead the conversation? What do I ask?

When I see my NUT I let her review my food diary. I track liquids, Protein and "about" calories. I also live a fairly boring food life since I can't trust myself to get overly creative without peril (just me)... And no judging, weigh as much as you want, just don't let that darned box make you feel bad. At most it's just an average...

I too am at a stall and its normal... we officially are in starvation mode whether we feel like it or not. I've heard it won't last longer then a month but really who knows...everybody is different right!?

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
