At a weight loss stand still



Recommended Posts

I will be 4 weeks post op this Wednesday. I am on puree at this time. I have lost 19 pounds since surgery, but I am at a stand still now. Have been for a week. Is this normal or should I be doing something different?

I am at same issue with just about same amount of wieghtloss except I am on soft foods. I was sleeved 3/10. I am fluctuating between a couple pounds. I had no energy and everything exhausted me up until last week. I find myself since Wednesday having more energy thankfully!

Stalls are perfectly normal. You can search "stall" on this forum and find tons of information.

My surgery was 11/14/13, so I'm almost 5 months out - I have stalled many times. My first one came between weeks 3 and 4 and I was so scared. I can understand. Just know it's perfectly normal and continue to follow your plan. Your body needs to try to figure out what you're doing AND you're still recovering from major surgery.

You're going to be fine. You got this!!!!!! :)

I'm 8 weeks out and Im going through my second or third stall. I know its normal but it sure does make me nervous. I was hoping for a steady drop in weight but its definitely start and stop and slow go.

      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.
