Dreaded Stall

[Jennifer Cunningham 18]

Well I hit the most dreadful stall - the 3 -4 week stall - I was stuck and so annoyed!! I was at 211 for 9 days - I spoke with a friend of mine who had the surgery years ago and she told me to eat more - I looked at her like she was nuts...I was like what?? She said eat every 2 hours - trust me it will help you!! I can honestly say I felt like the biggest pig yesterday - I was eating every 2 hours - and felt horrible because I want to lose weight and it brought back memories prior to surgery....well this morning - I woke up and the scale said 209! I was shocked!!! She she said we stall because we aren't eating enough and if we eat more then the stalls won't be as bad!! I was 239 pre-op and today I'm 209 - October 2 will be my 1 month post op - So I'm super thrilled - just thought I would share it with everyone who is experiencing the dreadful stalls that are super annoying

Glad to hear this. I hope it works for me. I have been stuck for about 9 days on 202-203.

I hope it helps too!! Please keep me informed! Literally I've been eating today every 2 hours too - small things of course but hey if it helps I'll do it - she said it helps speed up our metabolism

Your friend gave you some very good advice.

Embrace the Stall!

I've hit my stall and will try this. I am hardly ever hungry and have to force myself to eat, but I brought my yogurt and fruit to work today and will be snacking every 2 hours to see if I can get out of this rut!

i am 9 weeks out and I have found that I lose more weight if I up my calories. I was hovering at 700 cals a day and would maybe loose half a pound a week. So me and my nutritionist agreed to up my cals to 800-1000 and I have steadily lost 2.5 pounds a week or so.

I'm so happy that its working for others too!! It's hard mentally to increase calories but it makes the pounds shed

Im 2 and half weeks post op. I think ive hit a stall. However i havent been eating right. Im gonna start spacing out my meals and being more aware or it. Im just never hungry.

[triciakae 18]

i have been eating a variety of foods that have chicken, such as stir frys and what not. For Snacks I have been eating Pork rinds, Greek yogurt (the seasonal caramel Apple Pie is my favorite!) I will also snack on Nature's Valley with Protein bars. With my food selections I make sure they have at least 10 grams of Protein in them. I eat about every 2-3 hours.
