10 months out, first official plateau...



Recommended Posts

Good Morning All,

I am a little over 10 months out, 141 lbs down and have officially hit a weight loss wall. I'm 5'3 with a starting weight of 340, currently 199. I have lost steadily since surgery so this stall is kind of making me nervous. I log everything I eat/drink daily, work out 4 times per week at 75 minutes each with a trainer. I could really use some input from those that are a little further along in their journey! I have gone 2 weeks without losing anything, how long will this last or am I just all of a sudden no longer going to lose weight? My goal is 140 lbs so I still have weight to lose. I am very mindful of everything that I eat and am following the rules. When I asked my nutritionist how many calories I should aim for each day, she told me not to worry about that but to eat when I am physically hungry. I keep my calories at 1350 per day (Myfitnesspal recommendation) just for my own piece of mind. I have also noticed that I am hungry much more than I used to be as of about 2 months ago when I increased my gym time. Any advice?

Thank you!

How much Protein are you getting? Does MFP show you a pie chart of where your calories are coming from between Protein fat and carbs? If so, what are the average percentages?

Are you getting in all of your Water?

My best guess is that, if you just started going to the gym two months ago, your body is right now trying to adapt to the increased level of activity. Most people experience a slow down in weight loss when they take up exercise. Keep up your activity level and maybe try introducing more high protein Snacks to curb hunger.

When I started exercising intensely around 4 months post-op, I had to add a morning snack to my regime (a reduced fat cheese stick), because I was getting hungry between Breakfast and lunch. I also added a little granola to my afternoon greek yogurt, so the little bit of extra carbs would help fuel my late afternoon workouts.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
