Broke plateau!



Recommended Posts

Surgery was 1/24/05 and I have been stuck at 297.5-299.5 for a while now. I had a stomach virus yesterday and I weighed myself this morning and the scale said 292.5!! I hope it counts and is not just being sick! Everyone has been telling me that I have lost more weight and I kept saying that I wish my scale would say it! Also a few fellow wls people have told me that this is how weight loss works for some of us - you will hit a plateau and then boom - a loss!

Thanks

Great! I hit one too, and finally I am starting to move again. While you are not seeing the scale move, you will usually lose inches, so remember that you are still losing. Good luck!

Nice job!

Try and remeber though that us "bandsters ca not let the scale dictate our success, as hard as that is :)

Like Betty said even though the scale doesnt show it, you are still losing inches.

Good for you! I just broke a plateau myself. It's weird -- even though our good eating and exercise habits don't change, sometimes our bodies just like resting at a certain weight, then - BOOM! - down we go.

Trish, you've got the right attitude to your early banding weeks: heal first. Still, it's nice to see those pounds gone! You'll be safely in the 200s in no time -- and the 100s are within sight.

      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.
