I used to think I was losing to fast and it worried me. Now, I am losing slower and I am not worried, but I wonder if this is normal.

Im 8 months and I have lost around 80lbs. In the last month I have lost 8lbs and only 1 of those is in the last week. Is this normal? Is there something I need to do?

Breakfast

lunch

  • Cup of Soup / salad
  • Or - Nuts

dinner

  • Lean protein
  • veggies
  • small potion of Carb/starch

Exercise

  • None

No, you're not stalled. You stated you lost 8 pounds last month...

From what I've read on the boards, there is no "normal" when it come to how much weight a person may lose per month.

You're doing an awesome job and congratulations!!!!!

a stall is no loss of weight or inches in over 30 days.

It irks me when people use this term so loosely.

You are fine, Let your body do its thing.

Congrats.

Glad I could participate in your daily dose of frustration. Notice the "?" mark in the title?

It irks me when people are irked over a simple question.

It has been a week and my weight goes up and down about an lb, but no loss. I understand that my concern is a bit "frustrating" to some, but I really do want to know if I am doing something wrong?

I am 216lbs and I have been there 217-216 for two weeks. I am not sounding an "ALARM" because I am happy. However, if I am not doing something right and need to make adjustments, I need to know.

Has my body perhaps gone into starvation mode?

I am in a big stall! I had my band to sleeve revision January 13 2014. I have only lost 13 since then. That was in the first 2 weeks that I lost the weight. I haven't lost anything else. I am on a full normal diet and haven't had any issues with any food, except bananas, they make me sick and i throw up if i eat one on an empty stomach. I don't do much for exercise right now but going to start a kickboxing class next week and now that the weather is starting to get nice I can go out and start running. Hopefully that will get the scale moving for me.

i was in a stall too and had the nutritionist analyze my food logs i was eating a very balanced and healthy diet, and getting enough Protein without Protein Shakes ( after surgery the protein literally made me gag ) she suggested i concentrate more on protein and lower the carbs even though they were healthy carbs . so basically.go.low carb higher protein. so i did and it worked , i started losing again. imstead of eating a little meat and then the vegetables and starch i eat all the meat and leave no room for anytghing else. i was concerned about eating more balanced but the nutritionist and the surgeon agree that as long as you are getting enough protein dont worry about eating the other stuff, just worry about protein while you are in the losing phase of this journey . for me its do able most of the time so im giving it a whirl.

Thanks for the Advice. This is definitely a journey and there are a lot of changes... I have been losing, but a LOT slower than at the beginning. I think I am ok with that as I need to stop at some point and I would like my skin to get a little tighter.

      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.
