Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

Need some help and guidance. Was sleeved Nov 12 2012, to date I've lost 135 lbs. Started at 408, down to 273. My goal is around 208 to 220. Have about 65lbs to go. For the past several months I have not been able to lose anything!!! My weight has fluctuated between 273 to 278. I had plateaus before and seemed to be able to break them. But this stall is really frustrating!! I've been watching what I eat, get my Protein in everyday, and have been workin out during the week. Don't know what to do?? Need some guidance and open suggestions? Thanks John.

What do you call several months?

About 3 months.

The closer you get to an ideal weight the harder your body will fight to hold on to any stores of fat. This I know. But since I have yet to be sleeved, I am not able to advise on how to work past a stall. I read a post this a.m. from a lady who was doing the 5 day pouch test. She was sleeved 2 years ago and had gained some weight back. She was looking to get back on track and had decided to do it. Basically you go back to liquids for two days, then pureed food for two days then soft food on the fifth day. Sort of the condensed version of post op. Might be worth a try?

woo hoo

party dance, party dance

135 lbs, down, down, and dirty!!!!

sorry you've been at a stall for a while :angry:

sure you are continueing to eat and drink right, scale just doesn't want to move :(

maybe go on liquids for a week, shake things up

go back to shakes???

change your calorie intake up a bit, eat different variety of food

tummy could be telling you to switch things up - "then i'll let you lose some weight" ;)

good luck guy

      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.
