Been at a stall for 4 months



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved eight months ago and have been at a stall for the past four months. Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions on how I can break the stall?

How many calories do you take in per day? Carbs? Protein? Water? Do you track everything that you eat and drink? What do you do for exercise?

I'm at month 4 and haven't lost in a while. I was only getting 800 cals per day and not exercising. I upped my cal intake to 1000 and started walking everyday. It showed on the scale this morning. Look over your food journal and make sure you're sticking to plan. Low carbs? Water? , etc... you know the drill.

Yep, I cut the carbs and sweets, starting logging in my fitness pal and hitting the gym at least 3 times a week. I also have "high inflammation" and a flare up. I'm going to get my labs done to make sure that there is nothing else going on. I went back to the basics and the scale still has not moved.

I use my fitness pal and track my calories. I stick to 1200 per day. My carbs are high because of the fruit and oatmeal, but I get at least 50-60 grams of protein in per day. I do cardio and weight training at each workout and I do it for about 90 minutes, 3 times per week. I do both upper and lower body weights, the elliptical and stair machine for 15 minutes each.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
