Why has the scale not moved for 3 weeks?



Recommended Posts

Typical Day:

B: Protein Shake (w/fruit, no sugar)

L: 3 oz can of tuna mixed with 1 t mayo, 1 t pickle relish, 5 crackers

D: 3 to 4 oz portion of fish or ground beef or chicken with 1/2 to 1 cup of vege (non starchy)

Lots of Water during the day.

So why am I not loosing weight? I'm not hungry, I get all my Protein in, I'm eating around 1100 calorie a day and I'm doing aerobics 3 times a week. Perplexing!!!

well, maybe you need to up your calories just a tiny bit.

Have you been watching the tape measure? You body could be saying "TIME OUT!!!!! I have to re-assess what we've done!"

WOW I am impressed, you are doing great. Well we all know that muscles weighs more then fat, you have hit a plateau, you are probably seeing changes in your clothes because you are loosing inches or your scale is broke. LOL

Don't worry about the scale, keep up the great work. Do change up your exercise routine every couple of weeks if you don't. Don't get discouraged because you are the poster child for living healthy.

I got to a stall like that after I started real food, needless to say was very upset, made an appt with diatician, she did the muscle vs fat test and I had gained 12 of muscles at that time and as we all know, muscle weighs more than fat. Those scales can be your worst nightmare if you use them too often. During my 6-7 months post op I was at a stand still again, went back and I had gained 3 more lbs of muscle, go figure, LOL.

Don't weigh every day and most importantly..don't give up!

Good Luck

      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.
