Are you tracking what is going into your mouth and how much exercise you are getting? If you don't eat enough, your body goes into starvation mode and your metabolism stops.

Come join us on myfitnesspal.com and maybe that will help?

Otherwise, all I know is make sure you get your liquids.

Have you seen a nutritionist? Have you varied your workouts?

Ok that's all I can think of. Keep up the great work (but I know, it's hard whenever you are stalled). Hang in there!

CiCi, I had the same stall issue, but I was dropping sizes and inches while I was stalled. Since I still have a long way to go to goal, I was very frustrated, too. I have increased my exercise and really tried to stick to my plan of Water and Protein and I have dropped nearly 5 pounds in the last few days.

I was stalled at a weight where I stayed for about 10 years, so I'm thrilled to be below that weight! Hopefully I'm now going to lose steadily again, but the stall is where I developed more muscle tone and less sagging skin.

Just keep drinking your Water, getting your Protein in and the stall will break!

Good luck!! :)

      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.
