Help! I have stalled majorly!



Recommended Posts

check your Protein drinks. My doctor just told me he had a patient not loosing and it was because the Protein Drink she chose was really high calorie so she was taking in a lot of liquid calories. I thought I had been in a stall and have been very frustrated but went to the doctor today and have lost 12 lbs in a month. I had been so frustrated and was so excited because my scale was broke is why I thought I was in a stall.

I use the my net diary to track my food and it will let you put 1/3 or 1/2 and calculate it. If I can't get an exact amount I put something a little higher. Better to log more calories than less.

Try tracking your calories, Protein, and carbs? Since your loss has slowed to nothing, try going back to basics. Try something like the 5 day pouch test to get you back on track. The 5 Day Pouch Test is a 5-day eating plan that can help if you feel like your stomach isn't processing things right. It's basically like your post-op diet but crammed into 5 days. The link to the site that explains it is Surgical Weight Loss 5 Day Pouch Test

Basically it's 2 days of liquids (protein drinks, Soup, etc.), then a day of mushies (tuna salad, chicken salad, eggs, fish), then a day of firm Protein (seafood, ground meat) then a day of solid protein (chicken, steak, pork, lamb.) The guidelines are pretty simple and laid out on the site. Changing things up by getting back to basics may give you results.

I cobbled this together from Tiff and lotusflwr80 recommentdations. Best of luck, Les

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
