6 months and at a stall



Recommended Posts

It's been 6 month since my surgery and I've been at the second weight I can't seem to loose anything. It's frustrating but don't know what to do anymore. I lose 5 and gain it back, has this happen to anyone? Any info helps.

I'm 6.5 months out and I finally just broke a 5 week stall. It's bound to happen sometime. Just hang in there and keep doing what you're supposed to, and it will break. Not much else you can do, unfortunately.

I will say that even when I wasn't losing, my body shape changed a lot, and I lost inches. Maybe measure that if your weight continues to stall, just to keep your motivation up. :)

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process.

Are you:

Still following your program?

Getting in all of your Protein and Fluid every day?

Avoiding starches and added sugars?

Taking your Vitamins and supplements as directed?

Avoiding carbonation?

Not drinking and eating at the same time since you had the bypass?

Eating slowly and mindfully?

Exercising?

Have you talked to your NUT lately about your goals and to make sure you are eating enough?

Embrace the Stall!

Dr ordered blood work and said my Vitamin B 12 was high to cut back on the meat. Funny thing is I hardly eat meat I'm avoiding starches in total I have lost 55 lbs in 6 month will really 4 because 2 months I didn't loose any at all. Yes I still eat slowly and sometimes I make myself eat. I don't eat and drink at the same time either. I just wanted to see if anyone has experienced it. Thanks

      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.
