Heading towards week 3-looking to NOT stall



Recommended Posts

I know that stalls are inevitable, but I am so happy right now I do not want to stall yet. Tomorrow is the start of my 3rd week and I want to prevent a stall if that is possible. I have monthly goals and I know that the sleeve is just a "tool" and not the answer. I will continue to measure all my food out. Weigh myself in the morining, and make sure that my fitbit says 10,000 steps.

On wednesday I should get cleared for exercise. I know where I failed in the past (life before sleeve) I wont let that happen again. My doctor gave my 6 colored pictures of my insides (gall bladder, stomach before and after and all the mounds of belly fat!) those pictures are my motivator. It has been such a long time since I felt this good and I am only just begining my journey! :D

Many people stall but not all. I haven't stalled yet at 8 weeks. I have no clue why some do and some don't. However, I only lose 2 lbs a week. Slow and steady.

Wish I had pix like that, an excellent motivator.

I stalled weeks 4-5 for no reason - I was following the plan, not cheating... it just happens! But the last few weeks its coming off again. Don't get down if you do stall - just keep working the program.

I am sure I will stall. I just hope it is later. I am a slow loser which I am cool with. I don't drop huge numbers but I expected that. As long as I am dropping something.

I am 2.5 months out and I haven't stalled yet. Like NMJG, I am losing slow and steady but I always have a loss at the end of the week. It might be 4lbs , it might be 1 but I haven't stopped losing. There is no point obsessing, especially if it hasn't even happened. :)

      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.
