Stall :(. Can Others Share Their Stories.



Recommended Posts

My 2+ week stall ended today. I was drinking the required Water but noticed I wasn't sweating at the gym. Even after 45 mins of cardio. I think I was retaining every ounce. I do led my intake and lost 3 pounds from yesterday. I guess I will be drinking all day! You will get through it!

I'm 8 weeks and hit "onederland" about a week or so ago? Can't remember. I have been bouncing from 199-201 since then. Just fluttering like a little butterfly.

Here's the good news. I'm 1-2 sizes smaller than when I started. I am exercising again after that restriction being lifted two weeks ago. I have restriction in my stomach but am able to eat (I probably eat more than most; about 900 calories most days.) I am blessed that I have not had any issues with recovery and my health.

When I get a little crazy in my head, and start beating myself up for eating "so much" or going over 900 calories (the arbitrary number I have set for myself that allows me to get in my Protein, etc.) then I also have to take a giant step back and really think about it. My light days before WLS were twice this many calories and a lot of unhealthy foods. I am doing amazing work here and I have to trust that my body will get with the program.

I like the idea of pauses. We are taking over control of our bodies and our lives and everything is adjusting. Be strong! Have faith.

      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.
