Weight Loss Plateau! UGH!



Recommended Posts

OK! So I have been patient. I have been mellow about it... now I am mad, angry and inpatient.

I am at a stall of almost 4 weeks now and its killing me - The scale wont move down from 250!

My surgery was 11/26.

My calorie intake is still way under anything normal the highest it goes up to is maybe 700 and the lowest is 400 when I do just Protein Shakes. I am not hungry and I feel stuffed so I just CANT add anymore. There are days I only drink Protein because I just feel so full all day!

I work out literally 6 days a week. Mon-Sat. 1 hour of cardio everyday and 3 days of the week I do weight training to tone up.

What am I doing wrong?

What have any of you done to break this plateau and keep going?

HELP PLEASE I AM GOING CRRRRRRAAAAAZY!

You're gonna have to bump up the calories at least a little dear.....I'm supposed to get 800-1000 when I'm at your stage. Your body gets stingy and holds on to everything if it thinks you're starving.

Give your body a rest. Stop working out for a week and eat some carbs during that time. Next week cut out the carbs and start working out again. Your body will say WTH?? And start responding again :)

I am willing to bet you are losing inches! My doc said at our last group meeting that you lose weight hit a plateau. During the plateau you lose the most inches. I would suggest increasing your calories. You need to eat real food if you can tolerate it. My doc says he wants most of our Protein to come from whole foods. Meaning eating protein first, then your shakes, and finally Protein Bars.< /p>

When ever I stalled my clothes about fell off of me because I was losing so many inches. Calm down and stay on plan!

      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.
