Stinkin stall is pissing me off!



Recommended Posts

Surgery 10/26/15, lost 40 pounds by 11/19/15 and then pow......I stalled! Nothing I do gets the scale to move! Increase Protein, increase Water, decrease protein, increase water, eat more, eat less, talked to nut, she said increase protein, so I'm back at that again. I'm here in rant and rave cause its where this belongs! And to top it off, the more protein I eat, the louder, the longer and the stinker my farts are! I'm done complaining, but I'm still not happy! I'd eat a Christmas cookie or 12 in my old days to feel better but I know if I did that now I'd probably crap my pants in public! Ok, now I'm done! Thanks for listening to me computer screen.

:) nice rant! you had surgery one week after me - I'm in my 3rd stall lol - just keep with the plan and the stall will eventually end. losing 40 lbs in 2 months is pretty awesome if you stop and think about it....give your body time to catch up with itself

It is very common to hit stalls. So just stay with the program requirements and let the magic happen.

Your doing amazing and no need to worry. Your body is still in complete shock after having surgery, and it doesn't know what to do with itself. It is very common to get into stalls. Just keep focused on making sure you have enough Protein and add maybe walking or low impact exercise. Your body will eventually let go of the fat.

Good luck :)

Maybe mix up your exercise routine, I stalled and changed around everything and then lost 5 pounds after a three week stall. Sometimes no matter what you do it will just take sometime for your mind and body to register all the changes.

      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.
