Breaking a stall at 2 yrs out?



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Well in July it will be my 2 yr anniversary of my sleeve! I started my journey at 336 and am currently 225! I have gained 10 lbs back since my lowest weight! I haven't lost in about a year and I'm wondering if anyone has any tips to get back on the losing train?

TIA

Congratulations on the weight loss!

A year sounds more like maintenance than a stall. What does your current food plan look like?

I would suggest you make an appointment with your NUT to talk about your goals and strategies for reaching them.

In the meantime, go back to basics:

Track your food.< /p>

Make sure you are getting at least 64 oz of Fluid and are reaching your Protein target every day.

Eat Protein first.

Avoid starches, added sugars (especially high fructose corn syrup), and fried foods.

Take your Vitamins and supplements as directed.

Exercise.

Embrace the Stall

I was told the active weight loss phase is pretty much over with after 2 years and that I needed to be very dedicated to make sure I came as close as possible to reaching my goal during that time, with especial emphasis on the first year where you will quickly lose a large amount of weight. As a result of such I'm now only 14 lbs away from my goal and just a tad bit over a year out of surgery.

Not speaking to you directly, but it saddens me to read other people who were not told similar information as I was and it seems they do not lose enough or do not get as near their goal as they should. I am especially concerned with people who post about eating large amounts of carbs and who claim they have the NUTs blessing. All I can say is that only the end results count. If these people think it's okay to do that and they can reach their goal, then power to them. If not then they will learn the hard way that they were wrong.

Thanks for your responses.. I think I am going to try a reboot! My diet hasn't been the best, but I keep excusing it because I'm not gaining! I still want to loose another 50 lbs! Guess I'm going to have to get my butt in gear and do the work! 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.
