Wow! I've had stalls (3 to be exact) and have never lost 7 lbs in 1 week. I'm so envious! Congratulations!

I was so excited when I stepped on the scale this morning. I don't know how I did it. Just upped my Water, calories, and exercise. I guess that broke it. Hadn't lost any weight since week 4. 3 weeks worth of nothing. Then pound by pound everyday this week. 54 pounds gone forever :-)

Still no loss. I am in the stall from hell. I just wanted to lose 5 pounds for this challenge and somehow I have not managed to lose a pound. I gained a pound last week but lost it again. Holding steady here at ~147 give or take some ounces. Anyone with any ideas? I have been here for about 3-4 weeks now. I realize I am 10 months out now and the last 10-12 pounds would be slow but this is nonexistent. I go on vacation tomorrow and was sure hoping to be at least a normal weight by then (which is 2 pounds from now).

Hey there,

Just some thoughts. I'm certain you are eating right, but maybe your body has adjusted to whatever routine you are doing. Depending on what track you are following (calories/ carbs, etc), maybe consider upping a bit? Or, maybe go the other way. You know your body best, but I would try to find a way to shock your metabolism somehow. Your stall will break, have faith. I'm struggling too. Just did my first Zumba class yesterday to help with more calorie burn. It was a blast. I was 2 left feet, but still had fun.

GOAL WEIGHT 168

I'm right on track. 2pound loss puts me at 176. 8 more to go!

I missed changing my weight here last week, but I'm down 4.

Today I weigh 146.6 lbs. So, I've made my 4th of July challenge. :) I know that I may bounce up some but I'm going to take this loss and run with it. :) I'm totally excited! Now to get a plan for maintenance. That's the scary part. I will have to switch my obsession to exercise now and not weight loss. I can do this. :)

      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.
