Two weeks out and not losing :(



Recommended Posts

HANG.IN.THERE. I was so where you are about 10 weeks ago. Frustrating beyond belief. Your body is adjusting...just keep following the plan and it will work. It just works at different speeds for different people.

The "dreaded 3 week stall"! Mine lasted 2 1/2 weeks. Not everyone is the same, though.

I am right there with you. I am starting my third week and my weight has not budged an bit. I put away my scale and will not weigh myself until my follow-up with the surgeon on the 26th. I hope this will keep me from getting discouraged. I know this will break at some point. I am writing down everything I eat. I get between 800 and 1000 calories a day. I ride my bike at least 45 minutes 6 days a week. There is no way my body can maintain 238 pounds forever. It will break at some point.

I am in my fourth week and have not lost anything in over a week. It is so frustrating and I am getting very down about it. I am doing everything I should be but the weight is just not budging!

I just had surgery 1.5 weeks ago, but I dread hitting a stall. I know it's normal and requires patience and all that... Still I really would like to avoid or shorten them. Before surgery I would take organic yacon Syrup a few times a day and it has helped me break stalls in the past. Has anyone tried this after vsg?

      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.
