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.

I think you need to talk to your nut and dr you need to eat some even if it just an oz of Protein and 2-3 pieces of veggies yogurt egg at lest 2 times a day

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!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
