Long stall and cant break it



Recommended Posts

I am one month post op today and haven't lost a pound since week 2 and haven't changed anything.

How do I break this stall?

My plan says an ordinary Breakfast should consist of an egg, 1 piece of toast or 1/2 cup of oatmeal, some fruit, BUT I am lucky to get the egg or 1/2 cup of Cereal or oatmeal. I am on stage 5 and allowed mostly everything but limited bread, Pasta, rice and coffee. At this stage what do you guys eat and how much each meal?

Could the fact I am having a hard time getting my 70 grams of Protein per day contributing to my stall?

Thank you.

Embrace exercise and cut out the oatmeal and toast.

One month out my meals were 1/4 cup in size. 3 per day and no Snacks in between.

One month post op and you're allowed carbs?? That's the issue right there. Cut out ALL the carbs.

With my doctor, I'm only allowed carbs after a year or I meet 75% weight loss goal. I'm allowed fruit after 6 months.

My plan consists of 4 oz of any type of high Protein like chicken, beef, turkey, or fish.

Protein is what will help you and carbs will only hold you back.

Yes, the fact that you are not reaching your Protein target can influence your stall. But, you are right on schedule for a normal stall.

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing weight. Everyone stalls periodically, and almost everyone stalls at three weeks post-op.

Just follow your program.

Focus on getting in at least 64 oz of Fluid and all of your protein.

Take your Vitamins and supplements as directed.

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

Exercise when cleared.

Stay off the scale.

And, Embrace the Stall

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
