Long weight loss stalls



Recommended Posts

I am 60 days post op. I have lost 30 lbs overall which is great but i have been stalled for 2 weeks twice. Why these long stalls so early on? I am basically still on liquids since i have had to have 3 dilations. I am getting between 60 and 80 oz of liquid a day and between 60 and 90 grams of Protein. I have even added walking a few times a week. Any ideas to help me lose faster?

I dont have any advice. But I am in the exact same boat. I'm 65 days post op and I haven't lost anything in 2 weeks. In fact, I've gained 2 pounds. It's very discouraging

The only thing i can hope for is we are just taking longer to adjust and see real weight loss.

:) I have, I normally walk every other day. although as far as exercising goes I am still waiting to be released to be able to do that I had a Hiatal Hernia fixed, Scar tissue repair from the prior lap-band and a Live biopsy which I found out I was stage 1 of Fatty liver disease as well.

I had a hernia also. Probably time to add in exercise for 30 minutes such as elliptical or cycling 5 - 7 days a week. Walking is good but at 3 months post op it probably should be for 45 to 1 hour every day. Exercising will help your metabolism so a year out you'll be burning lotsa calories with the muscle you've gained.

      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.
