Pre-Op Diet after Surgery (Stall)



Recommended Posts

I'm currently in my second stall in the month since I had surgery. I don't know if there is a way to get out of the stall or not, but I have tried everything I know to try. I find it very discouraging to be working so hard (exercise), and only have lost 17 pounds in the last month. I lost much more on the pre-op diet, compared to post surgery.

Good luck, hope your stall doesn't last long.

Stalls are caused by your body needing time to catch up from the rapid weight loss.

Just keep on with everything and your body will restart the weight loss again soon.

I PROMISE.

We've all been in your shoes ..... a few times over

17# in one month is DEFIANTLY something to be proud of.

In a week you'll be at 20, then 23,. then 27.

Its only going to go up from here.

I live on the "pre op" diet, but mine was basically a low carb low fat diet.... I personally do not prefer the liquid diet to break a stall. I might drop carbs or eat some carbs to shake up my diet based on how long I've been stalling and the foods I've been eating, but overall, I just ride them out. My body has a pattern of stalling for 2-3 weeks and then the 4th week I'll lose 6-10 pounds, pretty much EVERY month.

I've thought about doing this too. I just don't think I can get that much Protein in now.

      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.
