Stalling Sooner Than 3 Weeks...



Recommended Posts

Stall here too!! I was beginning to think I've been doing something off-plan.....but getting all my requirements (Protein and water). Surgery was June 14th and have post op appt tomorrow with my surgeon. Hoping to get some advice there. None the less...this is frustrating!! But I will follow the plan.

I am 1.5 week post-op and while I haven't stalled the lost has slowed down to 1lb/day where as before it was 2lbs a day. I've heard sooooo much about the stalls that I am expecting to run in to them at any point now. I have heard they are pretty normal and your lost should kick back in soon. Personally, I think this is just a resting phase for your body...its been through a lot so this is the bodies way of sayin "I need to take a rest".

So

I was completely prepared to deal with the unavoidable 3 week stall... But wasn't prepared that it may come sooner! Stalled out at about 1.5-2 weeks. Anyone else stall sooner than 3 weeks?

You have just had major surgery. You are swollen and full of IV fluids. You have not had time to have a stall.

Your primary focus right now is healing.

Until you are able to get in ALL of your fluids and Protein reliably, then it may be a very good idea to stay off the scale.

You need to focus on healing, rest, Fluid, Protein, walking, taking your Vitamins and supplements, and being gentle with yourself.

STAY OFF THE scale.< /p>

The weight loss will come.

Embrace the Stall

Happened to me sooner than three weeks, lasted about a week. Your body is trying to deal with what just happened. I'm 24 days post-op and down 17 lbs since surgery.

      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.
