Stall and not even a month out?



Recommended Posts

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing a significant amount of weight. Everyone stalls and almost everyone stalls about three weeks after surgery. You are right on schedule.

Just follow your program.

Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids.

Stay off the scale.

And, embrace the stall!

I was sleeved on March 21st as well. I too have stalled and it's very frustrating. But it is part of the process so there will be a light at the end of the tunnel. I hope.

In a way I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one. How much are you eating at once? (I'm eating 2oz 3 times a day)

I'm about 4 to 6 times a day. Definitely not more than that and definitely not more than 2 ounces. My huge problem is that I've always been a fast eater. I still am and boy when that pain hits in the middle of my chest I'm reminded to stop eating so fast.

I am only 13 days out and have stalled the last 3 days. I lost 11 pounds the first 10 days, and then nothing since. I am so frustrated! I was expecting this at 3 weeks out, but not this early!

I'm with you...March 23rd surgery so I just hit 4 weeks yesterday...and I'm stuck at 14 lbs. My body has never wanted to let go of weight and I guess that's just continuing. I'm eating about 600-800 calories a day and sticking to what I'm supposed to be doing. Need to get moving more I guess but I'm just exhausted. We will get there!!!

If it makes you feel any better - I stalled like Inner Surfer Girl said around day 15 and for a good amount of time. But then magically a few weeks later when i weighed I had lost a good amount of weight and have continued to (we shall see at the next weigh in) but everyone is different and have different starting weights so weight comes off faster and slower - So as everyone said - probably best to avoid the scale if it will impact your motivation and/or mood. i know it impacted mine :)

      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.
