What is going on



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on 10/17. Lost 9kg the first two weeks and that was that. Stalled up till now. I eat the recommended amounts, try to take in Water (1.5 litres) and Vitamins. Nothing is happening.

I know people say not to be bothered, but I can't help it. Its 3 weeks in a stall. Fact is I'm eating less, so what's going on. Am becoming demotivated.

Wht can I do?

Patience. Sounds like everyone has this stall. Mine lasted about 2 weeks, then I resumed losing weight at a steady rate and I'm melting away. Try NOT to weigh yourself every day.

I walked a bit. Starting up again tomorrow. Hopefully will improve. I did notice something yesterday. I drank half a litre more of Water and the scale moved a bit. So might be Water retention which is also contributing. Onwards and downwards...scale-wise ????

I've had a couple of one week stall periods. I'm on my third now. Are you food journaling? I find that helps, just a checkpoint to see if anything is different. Funny enough my last stall broke the day after I upped my calories. I was not great about getting all my Snacks in this past weekend, so I'm making sure I'm getting enough calories today. It will break. I'm willing to bet that you have lost some inches while you've been on your stall.

      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.
