Dear Week 3 Stall



Recommended Posts

Dear Week 3 stall,

Why did you have to happen now? I have my follow up with my surgeon tomorrow, and I wanted to show a larger weight loss. Instead, you had to come early, at week 2.

I understand why you show up.

I understand that you're only a temporary visitor.

I'm just frustrated. Especially since I know I'm losing inches.

From,

Neri

I feel that as well! It is squeaking into my week 4 and I just want to drop weight. I'm sure I'm loosing inches but we are in the middle of moving and I can't find my tape measure to check.

From what I understand, this stall is a very common thing. We will get through this :)

I forgot to take measurements before all this got going. I could kick myself because I know it is more dramatic than what shows on my scale! Don't get me wrong, 31lbs in 5 weeks is amazing but my clothes are falling off! lol

I forgot to take measurements at first too. But I am measuring now, and it's so nice to see that the inches are still going down even if the scale refuses to budge!

I’m at a stall at week 4 where I put on weight to now week 5 where I’m the same weight as starting week 4!! Super annoying too with the Aus summer and fluids going up!!! So I TOTALLY know your pain where you want the progress to show on the scales

but it does move (least what everyone says I’m just waiting and waiting) and waiting 😂 fingers crossed it clears up and you’re on the path again!!

I'm in a stall this week as well, but my surgeon told me that it's very common for weight to go up and down, up and down, but that overall the weight should be going down. I have been noticing other non-scale victories though, so I'm still happy and I know this is just a passing thing! We can get through it! :)

      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.
