Hope for the Stall



Recommended Posts

I hit the three weeks stall...and had been stuck for almost two weeks. Was making me crazy. Totally empathize with those hitting one. Man, it's frustrating!

Got my period yesterday and lost two pounds...and woke up this morning another two and a half pounds down!

Not an ounce for two weeks....then, BOOM!...four and a half pounds. The legends are true!

Be consistent, be patient. Your hard work IS counting...I promise. scale just needs a minute to catch up:)

I feel your pain, Sosewsue...nothing worse than working your arse off and seeing that same number (or worse, having it pop up half a pound...ugh)

Crossing fingers you see some good results soon.

I just felt...relieved. I've been working really hard. It feels good to have the number match your effort.

This will seem contraindicated to a lot of folks here, but one change I made was to reduce animal Protein and get my protein from more plant based sources. More Beans and brown rice. More tofu, chia seed pudding, etc. I'm also tolerating eating more vegetables...which I am loving.

That said...it might just be just hormones and Water retention...or the luck of the draw. LOL.

Stalls stink. To anyone stuck in one...you have my support.

Started at 270 in June.

Lost 30 pounds in 6 months of pre-surg diet visits using the mayo Clinic Diet mostly. (240)

Lost 10 pounds in 2 week pre-surg liquid diet. (230)

Lost 14 pounds first month after surgery. (216 today)

So, I lost 23% of my excess body weight the first month (60 pounds excess weight on day of surgery)....which beats the heck out of the 18% that is the average first month weight loss. Feeling positive!

PS...I walk 7 miles a day with my Fitbit pretty religiously. Which helps me feel better about screwing up and eating the occasional cookie or taking a bite of my hubby's dessert. (not a super common thing...but it happens:) )

I needed to see this. Panic sets in. I’m just past my one month. Have had amazing results, but then boom. Not a thing. Of course my mind went to “maybe this IS my set point” even though I know it’s not.

It’s hard when it doesn’t move like at all. 228.0 all day for 3 days. Not even a .4 or something!

      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.
