Feeling bummed...3 weeks stall...LOST!



Recommended Posts

So tomorrow will mark 6 weeks post op. The first 3 weeks I was able to lose 34lbs but I have stalled for the last 3. My NUT keeps telling me it happens but I am getting really concerned. scale has only gone down 1lb! Yikes! Am working out as of last week and just praying for things to shake up cause it's depressing...

@@lynn2win I started at 292. Sorry to hear you are in the same place. I haven't cheated cause there are still a few things I can't tolerate and trust I can't judge you :-) Let's just stay positive and struggle on. Did you talk to your NUT too?

34 lbs in 3 weeks?!?! Of course your body is going to stall. That is a crazy amount to lose even with the surgery! Your body is probably in shock. Don't worry, stick with the plan and it will start coming off again in no time. Just to compare...I started surgery day at 313 (lost 34 lbs before that) and in my first three weeks I lost 9 lbs. I never did have a stall maybe because I lose slower. I'm almost 13 wks out and have lost 43 since surgery.

Thanks for the encouragement @@SleevelessinSeattle :-) I'll definitely keep with the plan no matter what the scale says.

      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.
