Stopped losing weight and don't know why



Recommended Posts

I've lost 100 lbs since I started my weight loss journey, 35 lbs since my surgery in November... I've hit a wall and haven't lost any weight in 2 weeks... And I've started to have cravings again and trying not to give in... I don't know how to get passed the hump... I still need to lose 100 lbs more... HELP!

Hi Jeni,

Congratulations on a great loss so far. Keep in mind you have lost 100lbs. Your body simply may need to adapt and get used to it before you lose some more.

That being said... do you track your food/water? I find this to be a great help especially when I have weeks where I don't lose. I can go back and see if I was carb heavy or took in less Protein.

Ask yourself if you are doing all you can.. Are you getting in all your Protein and Water? Are you exercising ? I

You may just need to mix it up a bit. Add some calories or take some away. When I was taking in 800 cal I wasn't losing.. I try to hit 1000 a day and that works better for me. Cardio alone isn't always effective, try adding some weights to your work outs if you're not already.

Call your NUT if you have one. Show them what you are doing and see what they recommend.

You are doing great so far, don't lose 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?

        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.
