Weight loss stall



Recommended Posts

I'm so frustrated! I was losing consistently and now I haven't lost anything. I go down 0.5 then go back up 0.5 or stay the same. I haven't really changed anything that I'm eating. I walk about 2 miles a day. I'm only 10 weeks out too.

Interesting. Have you had a stall earlier during the post op phase?

shake it up a bit. Eat 100 cal more and maybe walk more or less for a few days. I've hear shaking it up helps with a stall. I had one stall of 3 weeks and it was so frustrating. Don't worry- you'll start losing again!

It happens to everyone. Keep up your fluids, make sure you are tracking everything your eating to check nothing is slipping throuh and usually after a couple of weeks the stal passes on its own.

Stalls happen. I just had a really slow month, bouncing up and down the same 2 pounds for weeks. It will break you just have to keep at it. I find that when I stall I usually have to increase my intake a bit. Slowly increase your calories until you start losing again and then stay there for awhile.

Slightly increase your calories, and stay the course. It will break in no time. I’m a little jealous. I hit my first stall at 3 weeks out. You will still lose inches anyway, so just don’t stress about it.

I am pre op from RNY but I read and see on YouTube constantly that a stall happens around week 8 and can last nearly a month. It sounds like it's just part of the weight loss process so just keep doing what you need to do and the weight will come off.

I’m having the same issue. Currently at week 8 here. Been bouncing up and down around a lb for a while. Prior to hitting onederland I was losing consistently too. I’m also walking 2miles a day but haven’t been tracking food. Fingers crossed this breaks soon!

      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.
