Weight loss plateau! HELP!



Recommended Posts

I need any and all advise. I am 9 months post op. I lost 35 pounds and then nothing! I haven't changed my eating habits and even with fills I've stopped losing weight. I walk approximately 10,000 steps a day. No carbs. Has any one else experienced this? If so what should I do to boost my weight loss again? I was thinking to only do Protein Shakes for a couple days but not sure.

Are you tracking your calories? How long have you been stalled?

Yes. I'm about 1200 calories daily. It's been over 2 months.

If you are not already doing this, I would recommend getting a kitchen scale to weigh your food and a calorie tracking app. Verify that your daily calories are exactly what you think they are.

You also might want to go to a doctor, explain your situation and get blood work done to make sure you don't have anything working against your weight loss goals.

If everything is normal and your calories are consistent, consult your nutritionist about further restricting your calories.

Great job on the 10,000 steps per day btw.

are your clothes getting looser or too big?

if so, you are losing even if the scales doesnt show it yet

stay the course, continue doing what you do and it will eventually

(inches lost are true signs of weight loss)

sounds like you are doing great to me.

      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.
