November 15, 20169 yr I don't know what to do! It's been over a month and the scale isn't moving! Actually, it's gonna UP a couple of pounds! My question is, is it NORMAL to be at a stall for THIS long??
November 15, 20169 yr Yes, I had just gained 8 pounds and had been in a stall for awhile!! I started drink about 10 cups of Water a day and have lost 2 of them already in 2 days! Be patient!
November 15, 20169 yr Author No fucking kidding, really?? Wow, I don't feel so bad then! But wait, IS it normal that I'm stalling for this long this soon out from surgery?
November 15, 20169 yr Everybody is different!! I lose nothing at times, then it just falls off me!! Drink your Water but not while eating!
November 15, 20169 yr Author Will do. Yeah, I actually wasn't drinking water because I hate it, and was drinking 2% milk.
November 15, 20169 yr I bought Mio and put it in my Water. Way easier to drink and since surgery, I am lactose intolerant. Crystal Light is okay too and Nestle makes a similar one to Mio.
November 16, 20169 yr Author Unfortunately, I don't like any of the things you can add to water. I just have to drink it straight up
November 16, 20169 yr try a 5 day pouch test Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App How do you try your pouch? Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App
November 16, 20169 yr Yep! Embrace the stall. It happens. Stalled eating 800 calories a day for 20 days. Would not have believed it if I had not experienced it myself. Just Stalled up/down 2 lbs for 3 weeks. Then dropped 4 lbs in 4 days. Just keep following the rules. I also tried switching more animal Protein for milk or yogurt and that may have played a roll. Keep at it. You will succeed! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App
November 16, 20169 yr Will do. Yeah, I actually wasn't drinking Water because I hate it, and was drinking 2% milk.Wait....how much milk were you drinking to get your liquid requirements? Were you drinking 60+ ounces a day of milk? If so, there's your problem. That's a lot of calories. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App
November 18, 20169 yr Everybody is different!! I lose nothing at times, then it just falls off me!! Drink your Water but not while eating!Why is it so critical not to eat and drink for half an hour apart? Sent from my SM-G900F using the BariatricPal App
November 18, 20169 yr To tell you the truth, I forget WHY it is important but only remember that it IS important!! I think it has something to do with emptying your pouch too fast and then you are hungry sooner and faster!!
