Plateued :(



Recommended Posts

So I had RnY on 7/30 and have gone from 326 down to 292.... I know that weighing myself everyday isn't a valid measurement however I've noticed that I'm no longer dropping the pounds. I've just recently as of yesterday started going back to the gym doing simple cardio, gentle yoga and light aqua aerobics. I'm hoping that this is only a temporary pause.... Right?... I've been doing so well don't want to get discouraged

I wouldn't & I don't weight my self daily. As long as your active the weight will come off again.

The same thing happened to me. I was plateaued for a while and then joined a gym. The weight is coming off again. I do weigh myself everyday. I find that if I don't get all my Water and Protein in everyday, then my body won't release fat. So exercise, drink water and get all your protein in and you will be fine. My surgery was on 6/6/12 and I am down 50 pounds so far. 100 more to go!!!

I agree. If you get the protien and water you loose. I am watching that happen to me. I just learned I have a stricture that will be addressed Friday. Now for 6 days I've not kept much food down and I'm trying like hell for the water, and I'm working again.....you would think is lose something......nope! scale won't move. I am mad but don't be discouraged. Science tells me that 300 calories is way less then I'm burning ....my body and yours is trying to protect its self. It will pick up again. Keep your chin up

      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.
