I stalled at 3 weeks as well. Even gained back 5 pounds. I was probably not hydrated enough and when I finally got the liquid in I gained the 5 lbs. 5 lbs is a little over 1/2 a gallon of Water. Not a lot considering the total volume of someone who weighs 347lbs. There is no way you lost 30lbs of fat since March 22nd. Much of that is water. Now that you lost the water the fat is a lot harder to come off.

Hey...first time poster.

I was sleeved on 3/26 at 446 pounds and on my first check up on 4/4 i was 425 for a total of 21 pounds in ten days. My PCP seemed every impressed with amount of weight loss in that short of time. I was however told that the weight loss will slow down when I start on soft foods which makes sense. I am on day two of soft foods and I counted my calories today and I have consumed 1300 for the day. I think is about double of what what I was consuming when I was on liquids. So I expect to stall at this point or at least slow down.

Good Luck!

My dr wants me to stay at 600-800 cal per day for at least a year so you may want to watch your calorie intake. I am a process operator at a plant and tried on my nomex yesterday for the first time since surgery and oh my gosh!!! A big big difference. A lot so in my belly. I have had two babies in two years and swore my stomach had a lot of Fluid retained and now my husband finally believes me! Lol still weighing everyday even though y'all said not to! scale is it 272.8!!! Stall seems to be easing up. I'm ready to be skinny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      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.
