I am one month post op today and haven't lost a pound since week 2 and haven't changed anything.

How do I break this stall?

My plan says an ordinary Breakfast should consist of an egg, 1 piece of toast or 1/2 cup of oatmeal, some fruit, BUT I am lucky to get the egg or 1/2 cup of Cereal or oatmeal. I am on stage 5 and allowed mostly everything but limited bread, Pasta, rice and coffee. At this stage what do you guys eat and how much each meal?

Could the fact I am having a hard time getting my 70 grams of Protein per day contributing to my stall?

Thank you.

Embrace exercise and cut out the oatmeal and toast.

One month out my meals were 1/4 cup in size. 3 per day and no Snacks in between.

Concentrate on protein, fluids and exercise. I would have protein instead of toast, cereal or oatmeal. Yogurt, eggs, cottage cheese, beans, soft cheese, tuna, egg salad, chicken salad, etc. My plan says eat 5-6 times a day (2-4ozs at that stage).

One month post op and you're allowed carbs?? That's the issue right there. Cut out ALL the carbs.

With my doctor, I'm only allowed carbs after a year or I meet 75% weight loss goal. I'm allowed fruit after 6 months.

My plan consists of 4 oz of any type of high Protein like chicken, beef, turkey, or fish.

Protein is what will help you and carbs will only hold you back.

Yes, the fact that you are not reaching your protein target can influence your stall. But, you are right on schedule for a normal stall.

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing weight. Everyone stalls periodically, and almost everyone stalls at three weeks post-op.

Just follow your program.

Focus on getting in at least 64 oz of Fluid and all of your protein.

Take your Vitamins and supplements as directed.

Avoid added sugars (especially high fructose corn syrup), starches, and fried foods.

Exercise when cleared.

Stay off the scale.

And, Embrace the Stall
