Slowing weight loss



Recommended Posts

I know about stalls ..I have experienced them but right now at 10 weeks out I'm not stalling but I'm just losing .5 lb a week...I'm so confused. I work out 90min a day at least 5 miles I count every oz of Water, weight and track every bit of food... I eat 30-40 carbs a day I get all recommend Protein my Nut does not want me to increase calories or protein and is aware of my work out routine. I get over my required water every single day....yet here I am at .5 lb a week. I eat Fiber and im going regularly taking all my Vitamin and my body fat is going down very slowly and my measurements are almost the same ........whhhhhhaaaaaaat? I don't know what to do and I'm frustrated I'm contemplating eliminating food and sticking to ONLY Protein Shakes for a week to see if it helps. I took 4 days off from exercise and i lost weight I go back to the gym and i slow my own weight loss?

Tips & suggestions welcome!

Maybe you're working out too much & not eating enough. Your body could be hanging on to the weight because you're using so much energy. I dont track anything & haven't experienced any stalls (yet). Maybe loosen up a bit?

Try breaking up your routine.

Cycle up calories for a few days, and also increase work out intensity but shorter time to get your body off its comfort point.

This worked for me in past with stalls.

Good luck, and never give up.

Your daily Protein requirement is met by a combination of the Protein from meals combined with the protein from supplements (protein shakes, protein bars). In the beginning right after surgery your meal volume is so minuscule that almost all your protein comes from protein supplements. But as you get further out and your meal volume increase, if you concentrate on consuming high protein meals you can begin to downsize your protein supplements. At 10 weeks post-op, you are at this point. I went from 3 Protein Shakes per day, down to 2, down to 1 and then when my meal volume increased to 1 cup per meal at 1.5 years, I dropped off all my protein shakes. Your protein shakes include calories. When I started dropping off my protein shakes it broke a stall and I continued to lose weight.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
