I feel your pain. I'm stuck too, but its TOM. I hope this isn't going to happen EVERY MONTH. I'd be horrified.:thumbup:

Yea me too. I knew it would happen (thanks to all you guys) so i'm mentally prepared. I told myself that the first day i didn't loose I would take the batteries out of my scale. I just cant stand the torture of a stall. I have tortured myself too many years with that stupid scale. Its once a month weigh ins for me

I've stalled too. Lost 20 lbs in the first 8 days and then . . . nothing. It's now day 17 and still nothing. But thanks to all of your comments on this thread and others, I know that this is common and temporary. Can't wait for the loss to resume.

By the way, how do all of you get that weight loss ticker on your posts? I go to the but cannot figure out how to do it. Something about a pin number, but how do I get that?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
