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>

      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.
