On a neverending stall



Recommended Posts

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've been stuck at a loss of 50 lbs for 12 days. I go up a pound, then lose it then back again. I not cheating and I'm exercising and getting all my Water and Protein. It's not my time of the month. How long do these stalls last? It's so frustrating!

I have been stalled for a while too, then it will break and I stall again. The last thing the doc said to me at my last visit was, "stay off the scale, it will drive you crazy" he's right I try not to stress over it but I weigh every morning for accountability.

I hear ya !!! My longest stall was 3 months, I changed up my exercise, increased distance and intensity and re-looked at what I was eating. It happens to all of us :( Please hang in there and follow your plan and it will come off.

Ok ladies in was feeling sorry for myself because Ive been stalling after 40lbs loss surgery in feb. I go for 1-3 weeks then I see 1or 2 pounds come off. Im

Wondering if that's why my surgeon is so strict with no fruits and veggies until 75% weight loss has occured?!

All I can say is hang in there the body is a miraculous thing.

Good for what you have lost:-)

I wish I could say something that would make you feel better. I'm also at a stupid standstill and its frustrating.

I feel good and the compliments still keep coming. So focus on the journey not the goal?! That's kinda motivational :))

I decided after the first month not to let the scale control me....it's gonna happen, it may not happen as quickly as it does for others but if eating 1000 calories a day, eating healthy foods, and being active, it's impossible for me to not lose weight....math doesn't lie! So, I just keep rolling, Celebrate the days the scales go down and laugh off the days that it doesn't :). Everyone's journey is different but we'll all get their eventually!

I think you should expect to have a few stalls. My longest stall was 2 months while working out and eating under 800 calories. This is when you learn what your digest better! If I eat berries in the morning I did much better. Also not eating after 10 pm no matter what I ate would also just start my stall. Sometimes I just needed a good laxative!!

      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.
