I know, I know I know.....NOT ANOTHER STALL POST!!??!!

i promised myself I wouldn't post one of these, I was prepared for the stall, it is happening, but I have a question...

did anyone put weight on during their stall?

i was at a rugby tournament all weekend, watched what I ate, took in my fluids, took in my Protein, my exercise was down ( only 5 miles a day compared to my 8 - 10 that I normally do) Yet somehow managed to gain 1.6lbs over the weekend, so I'm just curious if anyone else experienced this during their stall?

thanks.

The fact that you gain weight doesn’t mean that you gain fat you probably gain muscle mass happen to me didn’t understand it until my doc explaining it to me try to measure your fat% and your muscle mass

Very true, I have a nutritionist appt next Monday so I'm going to ask if I can step on their fancy machine and see where my muscle mass is vs pre surgery.

thanks

Was it hot at the tournament? You could just be retaining Water from the heat.

But to answer your question, yes I have gained weight during a stall--1.6 pounds also to be exactly.

I gain and lose almost 3 pounds with my period every month:) Also, if I eat a lot of salty stuff, the scale ticks up for a few days. It's all Water. No worries!

Gains during a "stall" while working out... totally normal.

Body fat% is what needs to be watched as well. (as stated above, but I hammer on this point SO OFTEN!)

Just stick to your plans, hit your metrics and keep exercising and it'll eventually turn around.

I just gained 2 but I had heavily salted movie popcorn (I know! I know! Terrible!) and I'm annoyed at myself. I didn't go through all this pain to waste my life eating movie popcorn. #lessonlearned

      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.
