Happy Stylist

I've been thinking the same thing

Has anyone tried doing the weight loss shots? My surgery was just over a year ago and I still haven’t lost 50lbs. I started out with a lower BMI. So my surgeons are ok with where I’m at but I’m not. So I’m looking into the shots to help me a long. Just wondering if anyone else has had any luck

From what I understand since I’m still under the 1year mark is the reason for the lower calorie. Honestly at this point I’m scared to even up my calories. When I add back different foods I gain weight. Now I’m just not losing. I feel stuck in the 170s. I’ve been here since November

That's awesome! I love hearing successful stories. Tonight I've had the moment of questioning myself if I'm doing the right thing by having surgery. (Just worrying that something will go wrong) but reading and seeing your success. Help me take a deep breath and know I'm doing the right thing.

My surgery was April 26 22. I have gained 5 lbs in my weeks. I’m struggling to get back on track. I went on vacation to the beach and I didn’t stick to the plan. Now I can’t seem to get control of my snacking? How do I get back on track. How do I stop all of these cravings? Why is this so hard??

I don't think most Drs believe in the stalls. I'm so dreading my next weigh in. 🥴

I'm a slow loser. I've been told it's because my BMI is on the lower end. So after my 3 week stall I only lose 1lb a week. I have not lost anything for almost 3 weeks now. So I guess I'll go back to my liquid diet and see if that helps.

I have the arboleaf scale and I like it

I have seen a few people on here that have had the scans done. I don't really remember who though, you may be able to search it?

What time frame did y'all hit the dreaded stalls? My first was at 3 weeks. I'm at 15 weeks now and trying to see if I'm in a stall or doing something wrong.

This is very helpful info. But oh my, creamy Peanut Butter 😳. I love peanut butter, I could eat it all day long. So this might not be good for me lol.

lol. I definitely felt like I ate the whole house yesterday 🤦‍♀️ One good thing I didn't gain any weight over night. 😀yay

I've not lost any more weight since my first weight in at my drs on May 5th. It's hard to knowing most people lost their weight in the first few months after surgery. And here I am at a stall this soon. It's crazy how our bodies are so different to the surgery.

stalls typically last 1-3 weeks, but it's not unheard of for them to last longer. Just stick to your plan and your weight loss will eventually start up again. Stay off the scale if it's messing with your head too much.

Could be a stall. I lost 30 pounds in 2 weeks, then hit a stall that I am now on day 14 of. I gained a few pounds and then nothing. Not a single ounce lost. Nada. It's super frustrating, but it's normal and from what I'm seeing and reading, it's gonna eventually break. Just gotta keep working the plan and wait it out.

I dont think my plan is that far out with beef and honestly at 3 weeks out I have tried ground beef and did not have any trouble with it. Now that being said it was probably a teaspoon and a half only. I dont want to rock the boat lol

Forgot to mention, I cant seem to stomach the Premier Protein anymore too sweet. I can tolerate Fairlife but prefer the whey Protein isolate zero creamy vanilla powder. That is alot better for me as far as getting past the sweetness. I do and have bought the ratio protein yogurt....those things pack a powerful 20-25g of protein. It is thicker tho so as long as you can tolerate that it should be good. I also buy the Keto protein of the same brand not as much protein but still a decent amount. Cod, Tilapia and Mahi Mahi fish are good (no strong fishy taste) and dont forget you may hate fish before surgery but after you may like it. I eat mine (after cooking) with fresh mild pico de gallo. I actually eat more fish now than I did in the past and I have put the fish on a small handful of baby spinach.

Quest chips = 19-20g Protein per bag (140 cal), Clear Premier Protein fruit punch = 20g Protein (90 cal), Unjury pre-made Protein Shakes = 20g protein (110 cal). You just have to make sure you’re spacing out your protein enough so your body can actually absorb it all.
I try to make sure I have a variety on hand with me - at least 3 per day. I need the variety so as to not get bored with it. Any other protein consumed is just a bonus.

A serving of Fage 0% has 18g protein. I have to be intentional with my protein in order to get it in - we all do.

I didn't lose before surgery. So my total weight loss has been 17lbs. I'm like you. Gain a pound then lose it. I've never been an over eater. But I thought with me not eating a lot of carbs and no sugar. I would lose more then I have so far. It's just so frustrating.

I am in week six and havent been loosing much. probably just another stall. i lost a ton during my first 3 weeks then barely anything after that. Typical 3rd week stall that can last a few weeks.

Hi!
Start with are you logging everything going in…
You may just not be getting in enough Protein and Water. Log everything and get with your nutritionist.
You’re still pretty early in the process so any adjustments will be easily corrected with your nutritionist. Wish you the best of luck. Keep your chin up. There are a lot of ups and downs in the losing process. So try and be patient as you are on a roller coaster ride of emotions and physical changes.
This forum is a wealth of information. People on here have helped me tremendously.
Wish you the best
