Question for the 100+lb losers



Recommended Posts

Protein and Patience. Stalls DO happen to everyone, it's just another part of the journey. For me, it was an increase on my daily Protein to about 80 grams per day that helped me break through after about 3-4 weeks (your results WILL vary). I had a 2nd stall broken by emergency surgery on my hernia (NOT a recommended method) and a 4 day liquid & IV diet in the hospital.

Log your food and review your food diary to see that your nutrients are complete and sufficient on a daily basis, and stay with it. You will get through each barrier with the same persistence that it took to have the surgery in the first place. Stay Determined!

As others have stated stalls pretty much come with the territory. What I have done is I would switch my exercise routine by upping the intensity, it worked for me but everyone has different results.

I'm in one right now, ugh. I have lost 140 lbs this year so I can't complain too much, lol. In the past, upping Protein and Water - and cutting carbs has worked for me Hopefully it will work this time too. Good luck! :)

      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?

      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.
