Been at a stall for 4 months



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved eight months ago and have been at a stall for the past four months. Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions on how I can break the stall?

How many calories do you take in per day? Carbs? Protein? Water? Do you track everything that you eat and drink? What do you do for exercise?

I'm at month 4 and haven't lost in a while. I was only getting 800 cals per day and not exercising. I upped my cal intake to 1000 and started walking everyday. It showed on the scale this morning. Look over your food journal and make sure you're sticking to plan. Low carbs? Water? , etc... you know the drill.

Yep, I cut the carbs and sweets, starting logging in my fitness pal and hitting the gym at least 3 times a week. I also have "high inflammation" and a flare up. I'm going to get my labs done to make sure that there is nothing else going on. I went back to the basics and the scale still has not moved.

I use my fitness pal and track my calories. I stick to 1200 per day. My carbs are high because of the fruit and oatmeal, but I get at least 50-60 grams of protein in per day. I do cardio and weight training at each workout and I do it for about 90 minutes, 3 times per week. I do both upper and lower body weights, the elliptical and stair machine for 15 minutes each.

      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.
