8 week stall/need recommendations



Recommended Posts

I seem to be on an 8 week stall. Anyone else experience this and how did you break it. I have been losing weight so slowly as it is, now on a 3 day stall. Tried increasing Protein, increasing calories, and increasing carbs, but nothing working. any suggestions would be helpful, thanks

3 days without weight loss is completely normal. It isn't a stall until it lasts 10 days. If you are confident you are following your program correctly, just keep doing what you are doing. You may want to avoid the scale for a few weeks if it is stressing you out ^_^

Are you eating on plan? Do you weigh and measure your food? Do you eat a Protein forward diet? When you eat, do you eat your protein first and then move on to your veggies/sides, or do you eat a bite of this and a bite of that?? How much are you eating? When I was where you are now, I was eating 2-3oz of protein with little room for much else. At 16 mos post surg I can eat 4oz of most dense Proteins and 1/4 cup of veggies and that's about it. I still weigh and measure everything I eat. How about liquids? Are you getting all your Water in. Fluids are super important. I was a slow loser, but sticking to plan I've lost 130 lbs. Stick to the program and you'll continue to lose!

You can't expect to lose weight every day. Weighing yourself everyday is going to make you crazy. Pick a time once a week, and weigh yourself at that time.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
