WEIGHT STALL
CHEATSHEET

1 PROTEIN FIRST!
Proteins are the building blocks for your muscles.
And without adequate protein intake you may lose
muscle mass. And this in turn can slow down your
metabolism leading to a stall.

2 STAY HYDRATED!
Bariatric patients are more prone to dehydration
due to restriction and keeping solids and liquids
separate. Make sure to meet your personal
hydration goals for - again - a solid working
metabolism.

3 STAY ACTIVE!
Physical activity - and in particular strength
training - promotes muscle growth. Muscle mass is
linked to your metabolism - the amount of energy
your body is using. Always consult your bariatric
team if you're cleared to exercise.

4 PRIORITIZE SLEEP!
Lack of sleep may impact weight loss negatively.
Hormonal changes are linked to sleep deprivation.
Also lack of sleep may lead to poorer food choices
or an increased intake of sugar. Which in turn can
disrupt your healthy habits when it comes down to
your food choices and exercise routine.

5 MEASUREMENTS COUNT!
Being in a stall, doesn't mean that you're not losing
any fat tissue. You may be losing inches while
gaining more muscle mass! Be sure to take your
measurements as well - and celebrate all other
wins beside the number on the scale. Your weight
is not your worth!

6 ASK FOR GUIDANCE!

Your bariatric team is your number one guide in
your bariatric journey. Make sure to discuss any
issues with them first and foremost.

7 TRUST THE PROCESS!

It sounds clichee, but it's true! Sometimes there's
nothing else to do than trust the process and keep
up with those healthy habits consistently. You may
be closer to your goal weight too. Maybe your body
needs this time to adjust to all the changes. It's
different for everyone!
