2 months and 38 pounds



Recommended Posts

I have been stuck at 38 pounds for a week now. Sleeved 04/25 down to 217. I get 75 grams of Protein daily. Do we all go through stalls or what? I am able to eat more now and I really can tolerate everything. I am sticking to the meal plans too.

Stalls are a normal part of the weight loss phase.

As a side note, you are losing more rapidly than I ever did. It took me nearly 4 months to lose 38 pounds, but you've accomplished that in less than 2 months. You're doing well.

Good luck on your journey. :)

Agreed 100% with @Introversion. I weighed quite a bit more than you when I had surgery and I lost 45 lbs in 2 months, so I think you are doing fantastic.

Misery loves company! I'm also in a stall have great weight loss the first 5-weeks. I'm focusing on the total loss in addition to the fact that without the WLS I'd be gaining so staying flat is losing right :) Scary though it happened at the same time I started to eat sold foods.....

It's still frustrating but I'm keeping my head down and focusing on the plan.

BTW - I'm eating 90g of Proteins but I'm bigger than you as well.

I had surgery on 5/15, and I went through the "week 3 stall" for 12 days and am stalled currently. I lost a significant amount of weight about eight years ago with low carb and stalled often. I tend to lose in spurts. I think it's natural to do so, and if you are a steady loser, count yourself lucky!

I wish you success on your journey!

      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.
