Anypne stuck with weight loss ? Day 29



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone I am currently stuck at 241 now a couple of days and do not understand why?

I can barely eat let alone drink. I am keeping a journal of everything I eat.

Was anyone stuck for a while in the beginning too ?

Almost everyone stalls. For me, I stall a lot and then things start moving again, also a couple of days would not be considered a stall.

In the beginning weeks following surgery you lose quickly and then somewhere around week 3 your body takes a breather. This is perfectly normal and can last a few days and sometimes even a few weeks. It is simply your body wondering what the heck is going on before it releases more fat.

This will happen over and over and will get longer and more common the closer you get to goal.

The best thing you can do is simply stay the course. Follow your food and exercise plan that the doc gave you. The stall will break.

This can make people who weigh frequently a little bit crazy. I have always weighed myself once a day first thing in the am. I have to get my head in the right frame of mind to realize I am not going to lose weight every single day. When I get into a stall, and have lost nothing for a week or 10 days I stay off the scale for a while.

Give yourself a break! I am sure you are doing fantastic!

Congratulations on your surgery!

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process. The first, and most predictable stall, is usually around the third week after surgery.

This won't be your last.

Embrace the Stall!

Think everyone hits stalls. Whether it is with or without WLS. The info others have left for you seems to be very true for all of us. Hang in there.

I stall for a few weeks at a time then lose 10#s quickly, then stall again.

I seem to stall at every 10 pound segments. Keep sticking to your program and your body will catch up. Its frustrating.

      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.
