At the 4 week mark and not losing any..



Recommended Posts

I had the sleeve done on Oct. 20th. I started at 287 and lost down to 260.

I'm curious if anyone else has had an issue with stalling. I don't know if I'm eating to much or not. Somedays I don't eat much but others I feel like I eat all the time. I wonder if part of this is mental. That I think I need to eat and I really don't. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. .

Eat 3 meals a day. No more, no less. Search this forum for 3 week stall. Everyone gets it around 3-6 weeks. Good luck!

Every program is different. How much did your program recommend you eat? At 4 weeks you would still be on the pureed stage. 600-800 calories a day, 64 oz of Water and 60gms of Protein. Mine recommends 3 meals and 2 Snacks a day.

Are you keeping track of what you are eating/drinking?

I am on a regular diet now. Just can only have chicken turkey or fish. No red meat or pork for 6 months. I usually try to eat an egg for Breakfast salad for lunch and then supper. Which tonight I had a mini chicken quesadilla. Measuring like 2 inches in length. I drive k Water but occasionally drink grape juice or Apple juice. I take Flintstone Vitamins and B12. Just can't seem to find energy to do much of anything. I work for our local school district and I have two jobs. So I am wondering if that might be part of it too.b

If you are on a regular diet as tolerated you might want to touch base with your doctor or nutritionist. Since you can only eat smaller meals you may not be getting enough nutrients in. That could be why you are tired.

Yes. EVERYONE stalls. Use the search function....your question has already been answered a hundred times. Or go post this in the "Don't Sweat the Stall Stuff" subforum. It was created just for these threads.

@@kimpossible67 of course it's a matter of preference, but that's what my surgeon recommends. 3 meals and no Snacks because snacking encourages grazing. HOWEVER, in the beginning, just after surgery, we should eat as often as possible to get in the required Protein.< /p>

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
