Still STUCK!

Okay, now it is July 6th and I am far from my goal of 250. So now what??

This past week, I have been walking about 2 miles every night before I go to bed. At first it looked like I might finally break 280#, but this morning I gained again. I continue to hover around 285#. Sometimes a little more and sometimes a little less.

Well, I'm not giving up. I'll continue to work on this.

Sorry to hear you're on a plateau! But good for you for not giving up!!!!! That's such a great attitude to have. If I had only lost 15lbs in 5 months (doing a little math based on your stats) I would have lost hope ages ago so kudos to you!!

When is the last time you had a fill? How's your restriction? Are you tracking your calories? Maybe you need to step up the exercise. You're doing cardio and walking 2 miles, which is great! Maybe you need to add weight training to build muscle, which will burn more fat.

Keep up the great attitude and motivation!

You will get there, I am sure :0). My last couple of months have been a continuous cycle of plateau, lose, plateau, lose . . . . . and on and on and on. It is not even a surprise anymore.

You are doing awesome being 60 pounds down. I can't keep up with you :0)

I appreciate the encouragement. Maybe by the end of July I can get below 280.

Hey Big-D,

I saw on another post where someone said that they vary thier routine a lot when stuck on a plateau. Eat a lot one day, a little the next, lots of cardio, no cardio etc.

I saw where another has a Plateau Busting Diet, but I haven't seen it yet.

I always get a little kickstart when I get a fill and have to do the 48 hours of liquid.

Good luck to you, I know you'll do 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.
