Hey everyone I'm 2 weeks out and I'm stalled...I'm not allowed to start excersising until week 3 so I'm wondering if that may be doing it...I was allowed to move to blends like 3 weeks prior to what they told me...and I do like the mashed potatoes :)and the scrambled eggs :)

I had surgery on April 4th and haven't weighed myself since. I think I'm scared of becoming too obsessed with the scale, and too defeated when I see a stall. From what I've seen on here stalls early on are normal because of all the healing your body is doing, etc. I'm sure those more experienced than I will have some good insight!

Don't worry I'm stalled too. Sleeved 4/5/12

Saw surgeon today he said its perfectly normal. He said its better to lose steady than quickly. Gives ur body time to catch up.

I am in the same boat as you. Had my surgery on March 28th and have been stalled since the 2 week mark. From what I have read it is very normal and we just have to keep with the program.

Ah, the infamous and almost universally experienced (and hated!) 2- to 3-week stall! Y'all should feel like part of the club for sure now! :-) Seriously, stalls reek, but they do occasionally happen along. No panic, no worries--just keep doing what you're supposed to do, and the weight loss will pick right back up again.

Congratulations to all of you on joining the losers' bench!

Ok point to remember from someone in another thread and I thought that's one for slow losing.... your skin will rebound better whenever you lose slower. That's a win from being slow losing right? Hang in there!

When I told my NUT that, she said "who told you you were supposed to be losing in the second week?" She said that the body is just getting used to the Fluid changes and not to worry about weight loss because it was for sure going to happen, but the body needs time to adjust. No worries. In my third week now, and it is adjusting and losing!

      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.
