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'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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
