Hi, this is normal, i stalled at about 3 1/2 months and then lost another 15kg. What my mum always told me to.. you wont loose weight you loose size. You will see what i mean. Dont worry your body will start loosing again soon :)

Thanks for the reply Kim. I have realised though that i lose weight faster if i keep switching food types. Will this work for the stall?

Our surgery date is the same! You're doing so much better than me though. ;)

I've also been fluctuating between the same three pounds for two weeks. I've been exercising more, getting my Water intake in, and being more vigilant about taking my Vitamins. Not really sure what the deal is.

To be honest i never tried it. It could however. My mum and aunty had the surgery a few years before me and with me being only 20 when i had it they had alot to teach. They say your body goes into shock and tries to hold onto everything it can in the begginning. Hence the stalling or plauting. Try changing foods. Let me know how it goes.

Thats great Mina :) Pleasure to meet you.

Believe me its not about me doing better than you or better than anyone else its just that each body deals with weight loss differently.

What i strongly suggest you do is suprise your stomach/body every now and then by changing the type of food you eat (healthy food) and also change your workout routine regularly. What i am trying to say is "trick" and "shock" your body and you should get good, healthy results.

What really works for me is a protien shake in the morning on my way to work and another shake before bed.

Hope this helps.

Rico, I'm I the same spot a you. Sleeved Nov. 21st and stalled out for two weeks. I started drinking a shake first thing in the morning these past few days and Finally dropped a pound!! Also upped my walking routine. Good Luck, I know you'll break your stall. :)

Rico: this is normal. I've had really long stalls but I was losing in inches! That is even better for me. But you are 11 lbs away from your goal and it might be harder to loose the last 11 lbs.

If you haven't taken any measurements, this is an excellent time to measure your body. Take measurements of your chest, waist, hips, thighs, arms, and calfs. Plus are your cloths getting looser? Do you need to buy new cloths? Those are tail tail signs of loss.

Keep Rockin that Sleeve! ;)

      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.
