Week 3 approaching 4 stall?



Recommended Posts

Anyone notice a stall in the weight loss during week 3 transitioning to 4? Sorry if I sound petty! lol

Yeah that's true...Honestly everyone that I know that's has the bypass didn't lose less than 100lbs...I follow people on IG and of course here, and everyone has great success stories...I just get paranoid I guess...What is everyone eating these days during their week 3 & 4? Anyone having trouble with dairy? I can't handle dairy anymore...I also cant stand the smell or thought of coffee after surgery...and I was a big coffee drinker....Now I drink green tea instead, which is actually better for you anyways so that's a plus :)

almost everyone has their first stall within the first month after surgery. In fact, we call it "the three week stall", because it often (but not always) happens during week 3. If you search for it, you'll find tons of posts about it. Just stick to your program and it will break. i stalled weeks 2 and 3 and it finally broke during week 4. Then I dropped like 6-8 lbs within a couple of days.

Oh man. I am too! It's tough because everyone that knows I had surgery keeps asking me how much I've lost and I have to explain the 3 week stall to them. Lol. This Tuesday will be my 4th week and I've weighted the same the last like 4 days.

That question is what got me starting to post on here originally. Just look up some of the forums and you'll find that there's a lot and I mean a lot of mention about stalls

      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.
