Been Stalled For 2 Weeks



Recommended Posts

Surgery was 7/23. I lost 30 lbs pretty quick now that I am past the puree stage it feels like I am stalled. I am getting 80 grams of Protein a day, all my Vitamins and nothing. I will gain a lb then lose it. What is going on???

I keep reading on here that it's normal but why does this happen? I track everything I eat on my fitness pal and I barley ts keep in 600 calories but I do take in my Protein, next to no sugar and very low fat send carbs.

Weird I don't feel like I'm starving at all. Besides I was 335 preop, my body has plenty of stored up fat it can use. :) I wish I could work out more but doc said I still need to wait for another week or so.

Guys be happy for what you have lost until now and stay away from that dreaded scale it will make you loopy! If you are doing everything right it will come off, just imagine how happy you will be when you weigh yourselves in two weeks you have a big loss! Keep working your tool and everything will fall in place!

I have been at this for 6 months. I have had so many stalls I cant even count them. But I have an app on my phone that keeps track of my weight and it says I have lost 4.2 lbs a week since I started. So not too shabby. Dont give up. You arent doing anything wrong. Your body is adjusting to alot of crap right now including the reduction in calories. In our mind we think okay I am eating a hell of alot less then I used to be and I should be losing like a fiend. Unfortunatly these overweight bodies of ours like to hold onto the fat for as long as it cans, I dont know why. But I guess what I am trying to say is in the grand scheme of things, if you are doing everything you are supposed to be doing that weight is gonna come off. Patience my friends... not an easy virtue but in this game of ours we are in, we have to have it. By the way 107 lbs gone in six months and I stall out at least twice a month.

      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.
