6 weeks today, on a 4 week STALL! HELP!

[OzRoo 1,492]

I'm in my 5th week post op.

In a stall for 2 weeks, haven't lost any, and haven't gained any weight.

Expectations are bad for me ..... as I was expecting loss each week.

Yes I was warned re: stalls .....

I was advised to up my Proteins, as my hunger is getting worse at the moment.

I also have a post op abdominal swelling that is so, so slowly going down.

Rather frustrating, but I know I have to persevere and be more patient.

I thought I would give those who asked an update. Since Monday after I spoke with the NUT I have been getting in 61 to 87 grams of Protein. I weighed in as I am on a weigh in forum on MFP and today was the day to weigh in. I finally broke this 4 week stall and have lost 8 pounds. I have now lost 32 pounds since surgery and 70 pounds since I started the 6 month surgery supervised diet and a total of 215 from my highest weight. I have 32 more pounds before I can see the orthopedic surgeon to possibly have my back and hip surgery so I can walk again. I am getting so close I hope it will just be a few more months before I can go to his office and say ok I am 250 now please do my surgery.

Yay, great news re more weight loss, and that you got over this stall hump!

Good luck with losing more, and getting your other surgery done.

The waiting can be frustrating.

I had to put off my WLS for 8 months due to my thyroid issues ....

Fingers crossed for you.
