Broke the STALL - YES!



Recommended Posts

During the pureed stage, I hit a stall for 10 days. I was nervous about starting soft foods this last Thursday. My mentality was more food = more weight. My body no longer thinks it's starving!!! Since Thursday, I've lost 3.5 lbs. Since surgery 4 1/2 weeks ago I've lost 19 lbs. 46 lbs total since starting this journey. I'm liking my new sleeve and I definitely like having food again.

Congratulations on the weight loss and on breaking the stall!

I am currently on a week stall. I too, stalled when I started my pureed food stage.

I have just been sitting at a weight loss of 17 lbs. Can't wait to break this stall myself!

I'm in almost the exact same boat! pureed ends Tuesday, I've been stuck around 15-16 pounds since surgery, and 10 of that was lost the first week. Thank you so much for posting, it's so reassuring. T___T I've been thinking that once I get some real food in me my body will stop storing all the calories I AM taking in...

I try one new food a day, even though I think I want to try more. I had a poached egg yesterday. I had no problems eating it but it sat really hard in my stomach for about 3 hours. I won't try that again for quite some time. Soft chicken, tuna with a little light mayo, deli turkey rolled up with small amount of hummus in it, string cheese, cottage cheese, steamed squash, green Beans and salmon have all worked well. When I weigh out 2 oz of Protein, I look at it and think, "There's NO WAY this is going to fill me up!" So far, I haven't been able to finish the 2 oz. It's weird. I don't feel full in my stomach like I used to, I can just tell I don't need any more. It's a new sensation. Also, chili didn't sit well with me. I'm still dealing with acid and I think the Tomato was too hard on my new stomach. @@2Tuffproc Good luck with this next stage. I'm really enjoying it.

      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.
