Still preop and I hit a stall



Recommended Posts

I need to lose 8 more pounds to reach my 10% weightloss goal my surgeon requires. My last weigh in is August 9th. I still have a few months to lose but it's like the scale isn't moving at all. If anything is bouncing back and forth a pound or two. So nerve racking and it's also discouraging.

I am sorry you have stalled. I know it's discouraging. Your body is clinging to its excess weight. Try mixing it up a little. Or you're not doing any weight training try adding some 1 lb weights, arm curls or something. Start with canned tomatoes or empty Water bottles with sand or full water bottles. Try to walk a little more if you're able. Exercise is an important part of this lifetime weight loss/maintenance journey. Add a Protein Shake or two. Shoot for very low sugar, no more than 3 gsm and 25-30 g Protein. I like Premier chocolate, 130 cals 30 g protein. Hang in there, and not to scared you but I had a stall 8-10 mos post any but now I am 5 lbs lower than my surgeon's goal weight, and 6 lbs away from mine. I have lost 101 lbs but it took 18mos so be patient! Best wishes!!

Thanks!! The only exercise I do is at work. (I have a physical job) but some days at work it's slower. I do own a treadmill I just need to use it more. I did a few weight training in the beginning months of my 6 months, but slowly started to cut it out. What ever reason I don't know.

My foods I need to work on. I cut out all carbs (processed) I didn't have bread Pasta or rice at all the first 3 months, but now I noticed I'm eating a little bit more of it each day.

I'm reaching my protein and water goals. I think I'm going to cut out dairy, carbs, and all sugars. This post really is my way to keep myself accountable. And to get myself back on track and start losing again..

      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.
