6 weeks with gastric by pass.



Recommended Posts

Normal. They are body breaks...when your body needs to readjust to the loss of weight. You might have them a lot over the months. I'm at 2 years post-op and I still get them. I'm a slow loser now that I'm almost to goal. Hang in there!

Hang in there!! Keep tack of everything that you eat or drink. Your body has been under a lot of stress. I can say this much you are not alone with worrying and stressing out about the STALLS!! It just takes time and patience. Make sure you are getting enough Protein and fluids. Maybe add some exercise and DON'T cut your calories to low. Keeping track of things will help with the stalls. As long as you are doing the things that your Surgeon's guidelines just TRUST the process. Good Luck

Make sure you are getting your required amount of Protein in each day. I am 10 weeks out and I had a stall around week 7. I realized I wasn't getting my required protein. Once I made sure I was getting all my protein, the weight loss picked back up.

Tell us a bit more - maybe fill in your profile so we can see your start weight, how much you have lost, your goal?

My experience - the stalls are often when my SIZE drops - like I go down a pants size. I kinda feel like maybe my body is shifting things around - fat off my bum and back to protect my liver - to deal with the weight loss.

So these days I embrace a stall, knowing I’ll be seeing a clothes difference soon...

But the scales will start to drop again, just stick to your plan, eat your Protein, drink your water...

      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.
