5 months post op and Stalling help!



Recommended Posts

So I was sleeved 1/8/15 (Sw:277 Cw:238) and for the whole month of April I was stuck at 242lbs it looks like I knocked a few more pounds off since May has started but what do I do about my very slow weight loss? I'm in the gym for 5-6 hours a week! And I'm on a 0 carb 1,000 calorie diet

As directed! Oh and maybe I should add that I was on depo-provera shot which my last shot I received in February so it should be wearing off any day now.. But has this happen to anyone? does anyone know where this stall came from!! S.o.s!!

What kind of exercise are you doing?

Are you tracking your calories/protein?

Are you getting all your Water in?

You're not getting ANY carbs? Not even from veggies and fruits?

I'm doing 45 minutes of cardio and about 15 minute of weights.. Sometimes I'll toast or rice and pastas.. Not much at all tho.. Water intake?? I try but u honestly probably only get about 20oz in per day if that ????

Exercise seems good...are you eating enough? Maybe try upping your calories a little to compensate for the exercise.

Try to stay away from bread, rice and potatoes for now. Get your carbs only from non starchy, green veggies. And DRINK YOUR WATER! Try to get at least 60oz. I know it's so hard, but it helps with weight loss. It really does. Plus you're exercising, so you need to stay hydrated.

Try that and report back to us!

      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.
