Can’t break this stall to save my life.



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery 5/31. Starting weight 215, currently 175 and have been stuck here for about 2-3 months. I changed workouts, foods, everything. Drinking so much more Water than ever in my life too, but the scale just isn’t budging. Anyone have any tips? I eat mostly Protein and some vegetables. Hardly any carbs. I don’t eat too late at night and I’m relatively active because I work 2 jobs.
Someone, anyone, help!

It looks like your diet is fine, if you’re exercising at whatever level, that’s probably fine. I’d vote for sleep, and then stress. Both of those have always slowed me down. I believe 100% that the other side is near for you! Good Luck!

2-3 months isn't a stall, it's eating maintenance. Count calories for a week using MyFitnessPal. Everything that passes your lips gets logged including liquids.

Use the calculator here (https://tdeecalculator.net) to find your TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) and if your calories consumed are within a hundred of your TDEE, you're eating too much.

I do count calories and I use my fitness pal. That calculator shows 2200 calories and I eat about 1200 a day.

Up your fat intake? Good fats like avocado, salmon, almonds. Keep carbs under 15 grams ( hard I know) and see if you lose weight

Maybe switch up your whole routine? Have you lost inches though? It won't always show on the scale. I'm in a second stall right now so I get it's aggravating. The last time I didn't exercise for a week and then I started again and I started losing weight again. Have you told your surgeon? They can give tips and suggestions! Sorry you're frustrated!

I've been stalled for 2 months as well. I was worried it was maintenance so I spoke to my nut and she said she didn't believe it was, that it was just a plateau. I switched up my diet (average 1100-1300 calories a day, 50-100 grams of carbs and Protein was 60-70), exercise routine and on Monday I started really upping my protein. I'm getting about 90-100 grams now and I've lost a pound in 3 days, finally.

      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.
