Weight loss stall?



Recommended Posts

I had GBS ON 12/10, surgery weight 228lbs, now 214. I have not list anymore weight since 22 Dec, 214. I'm drinking plenty of Water, I get in at least 100 grams of Protein a day and walk mile each day. I'm still in the liquid stage. My next appreciate is on the 29th. What am I doing wrong?

Nothing. Stalls happen. They can be very frustrating but if you follow the plan given to you by your surgical team, your body will begin losing again.

I have been told that your body actually thinks you are starving it temporarily so it holds onto the fat storage until it knows that you are going to feed it appropriately, once it realizes everything is ok, you will start to lose again. This potentially will happen often enough to make you crazy if you are a scale watcher. (Which I do weigh in everyday) I have just learned that there are days when I am not going to lose. If it goes on for a while (my longest stall was 3 weeks) I have learned to change things up as your body does not like the same routine. I either change up exercise or even how many calories I take in. When I went through my last stall I was told to eat more calories and exercise a little less frequently. I broke my stall within two days.

You are all good - around 3 weeks your body can go into Hibernation Mode because it's like what's going on?!?! It can also cause you to put on a few negligible pounds when your body rebuilds it's glycogen stores (what it uses as readily available energy). Just keep being active & try to up your mileage if you can it really helped me.

Stalls are part of the journey, and you will experience many. I did the opposite of the previous poster, I increased my Water intake and my exercise, or I switched up what I was doing exercise wise. It always worked to break the stall. We are all different, it will take some trial and error to see what works for you.
