5 week post op & on a 2 week STALL! GOING CRAZY!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved July 21, lost 30 lbs so far ...... However I just got off a 4 week stall ... Yes 4 week!!! I was going NUTS!! I finally broke the stall & lost 4 lbs over a few days. Now I am holding at the new lower weight for the past 2 days. Uuuggghhhh .... Have not & will not cheat, Protein is at 70-80 g a day per NUT. . Water is good. Just so so frustrating.

Stalls are a normal part of the process. Rather than focus on the numbers on the scale, focus on doing your best to get in all your Protein and Water. Both are critical for both healing and weight loss.

I'm still stalled, I am exactly 6 weeks post op. I have lost a total of 16 pounds to date. 13 pounds was 2 days after I came home from surgery. I feel so defeated and really don't know what to do. I have been eating the exact foods and amounts, I eat about 800 calories a day and eat 70 grams of Protein a day. I excercise at least 60 minutes a day 6 days a week. I'm doing everything according to the rules. I will be honest and say I have tried eating things I shouldn't because I feel like my RNY is "broken". Not only am I stalled but I have had sugar(candy), I know it's not ok but I did it. I have not got sick, dumped or anything. My dr. Has no explanation and has told me just to keep at it. It's so hard though. I have no one to really talk to about this. So I could use the support from others here. So I can keep at it????

      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.
