Phase 4 weight loss stopped/



Recommended Posts

Just over 3 weeks out and the weight loss has stopped after 20 pounds. I eat like a chicken. I can eat 6-8 oz. of soft food. 10-15 oz of liquid. Keeping up with Protein intake and H2o. Barely. But why has the weight loss stopped? It's been 4-5 days maybe more and still maintaining the same. actually gained a couple. ??? WTH? is this it?

Calm down...it's the '3 week stall' - just put that in the search box. I have been stalled for a month with no scale movement - losing inches and clothing sizes - but not #s. I admit to being pissed about it, but figure it is part of the process. You digestion is adjusting, as well as your body, and you are still in the early stages of healing internally too.

6-8 ounces of Protein at one sitting? Or the whole day?

Oh yes!! That 3 week stall that no one told us about. It will pass my lasted 3 weeks. But the inches didn't and now the pounds are moving again. Keep doing what you're doing and try as best to get those fluids in.

6-8 OZ of soft food. in one setting. ( 10-15 minutes ) . And 10=16 Oz. Fluid in 10-15 minutes. ( shake )

Added note. Something new I've noticed. Stools are light colored now. like a light yellowish tan. ?/ My diet has been mostly egg quiche with cheese and ham and greens added. I.5 sm muffin sized quiche muffins is all I can eat when I feel it backing up or whatever it's doing . .

      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.
