Frustrated with the stall



Recommended Posts

A normal weight loss pattern is not a sloping line. It actually looks more like stair steps. So there's really no such thing as a stall, you're just on a stair. Hang in there.

I like that it is so true. It makes sense.

Stalls are part of losing weight. I have had several stalls in my journey. It has been 14 months ago since I had the surgery and I have had at least 5 times a stall and the longest lasted 6 weeks. I think my body was testing me.

Thanks so much to lipstick girl and NancyG and others talking abt long stalls around month 4! I have been about to decide I've gotten everything I'm going to get at month 4. My stall started during month two, although I lost a few lbs durning the past month or so. I'm amazed that I can eat less than 1000 calories a day and abt 50 carbs and still not lose. It seems mathematically impossible. Hearing from you ladies helps to fight the discouragement.

I'm so glad I found this thread. I haven't lost a pound in three weeks and I'm doing everything I was doing when I was losing. I'm 8 months out and closer to goal so of course I knew it would slow but it hasn't moved at all. But I love the stair step analogy! On the other hand I just went shopping and went down a size so that made me feel better. But honestly reading this thread reassured me. I keep worrying that I am done losing weight and this thread gave me hope.

      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?

      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.
