Oldfashioned diet and stalling for 10 days already...



Recommended Posts

Just venting...

I have been doing well and had a steady weight loss at my max 1500 cal diet with 100g Proteins. Then the dreaded stall came 10 days ago... I'm so sick of waiting for it to be over. I reduced my cal intake to 1300 cal yesterday and still nothing. I know it needs to happen, but still, it has been going on long enough.

I HATE IT!!!

Good luck on your upcoming surgery. It is a very different experience than dieting.

I'm almost 14 months post op and I just finally broke a month-long stall. Be prepared for them to happen after surgery! Still, despite this stall and the stalls I've had pretty much every month since surgery, I'm down 194 pounds since surgery. It adds up, and in the end, the stalls will just be a distant memory but your health and weight loss will be a reality. Good luck to you.

Thanks for your comments! I know I'm just beeing impatient. Just over 6 weeks to my surgery and I was getting a few appointments via mail today that my anesthesiologist wanted me to do as a precaution. I will be very busy in the upcoming weeks anyway, so the distraction will be welcome.

It's getting cold here in Finland and the darkness does nothing for me. It's close to freezing during the night, so I had to get out all my winter clothes.

I will be sad to see my beautiful and warm down jacket getting to big for me, but I will rather take the weight loss.

In case you don't know, Finland is the home country of Santa Claus (the North pole is a bad rumor), so be good people, I have connections! ????

Good luck with the process and the journey.

Yes, stalls happen ..... my last one was close to 4 weeks too, annoying but it finally shifted.

Now, I am devastated re Santa Claus! I thought he lived in South Pole :D , as everything is upside down where I live ;)

Stallers,

I've been stalled for a year! Had surgery April 2015 and essentially stopped losing Nov. 2015. Stuck at 200 lbs. Trying for 165 lbs. I like the liquid diet idea. I may give it a try for three days or so.

      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.
