Weight loss Stalls



Recommended Posts

Just curious for some of you what your longest stalls were and how far along you were post-op that you had your first stall?

I had bypass on 10-17-17

I started my journey in Jan of last year I was 581

I was 475 on surgery day

Today I’m 404 but I have been 404-408 since 2/18

Still doing all the right things or at least I think I am. I’ve also tried upping and lowering my calories no luck.

I’m trying to not get down about it but I just have this goal of being 399 or less and my first major milestone and to be at 404 and having this stall like I have been is getting to me.

Just curious any advice or encouragement any of you other guys have for me as I keep telling myself it’s only temporary but how long does temporary have to last.

Thanks everyone.

Haven’t had the surgery yet but 2 if my friends have had pretty much the same dilemma and the nutritionist recommended upping the Protein

I have stalled a few times myself it is normal for sure can last a week or a month but don't worry it will get start going down again soon. I noticed if I don't get enough Protein in daily I will start to stall also so protein i think is important... hang in there it's part of the process.. and even when your not loosing weight on the scale your body is getting smaller in inches ....

      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.
