Hugatime 10 Posted June 24, 2014 The word no WLS patient wants to hear (Gasp!!!) I've hit this bad boy head on this week and have stalled my weight loss. I'm averaging 3-4 miles walking a day. At first, I thought that I was building muscle, because the inches were shredding. Getting on the scale today though, and seeing the same 3 numbers staring me in the face (they're giggling at me, too!), I had to revisit my diet and see if I could find where the breakdown is. A big mistake on my part was not keeping a food journal. So I had to go by memory, meal after meal. I'm so focused on Protein and liquid, that I'm not really looking at my caloric in-take. Oops. It looks like that is the problem too. Not enough calories!!!! (Am I the only one who finds that comical?) So I'm upping my calories today to get me around 750-850. I've been averaging about 550, so this should send my body the message that we aren't starving. I'm also going to really try to stick to a food schedule better and eat every 2.5-3 hours to keep that metabolic fire burning. My big 2 week post op weigh in is Thursday and I'll post my results! Fired up!!!! 1 DLCoggin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amyllf2 206 Posted June 24, 2014 I'm 10 weeks post op and facing stall #2. I had one weeks 3-4 as well. I've lost 38-40 depending on the day. While some days the stall really upsets me, there are days I consider it a blessing. I try to tell myself it's good for my body to stabilize. Don't get me wrong, I want the weight off but I also want my skin to have time to adjust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Srreeder 78 Posted June 25, 2014 I'm 10 weeks post op and facing stall #2. I had one weeks 3-4 as well. I've lost 38-40 depending on the day.

Don't get me wrong, I want the weight off but I also want my skin to have time to adjust. I had the first stall at 3 weeks and it lasted one week. The second stall I hit at 2.5 months and lasted three of the longest weeks of my life. But during the stall I noticed a drastic difference in clothes fitting and had to adjust wardrobe accordingly! Next time I won't wait till I loose my drawers running through the airport! I had taken them up twice, but apparently they didn't want me anymore! 2 starlight710 and missbrown30 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
