I've never heard anything specific about 16 weeks out, but you could be experiencing a random stall for any number of reasons. I have been really slow on the losing front for several months, but I know it's because this is a weight where I maintained for several years pre-op. It's starting to pick up again. Apparently my body finally decided that 260 was NOT my ideal weight! Thank goodness!

Your stall will break, just keep following your plan and it will happen. You're not done losing yet. :)

I'm one month today and only 19lbs down. Which is about 5lbs a week. Very happy with progress. 60l lbs since January. It's a slow process but it took a long time to get to "obese". Doctor said stalling occurs and this is when you need to pick up your activity! Good luck!!!

Tighten up your diet and exercise more/differently. I'm on my 3rd stall and only 10lbs away from MY goal. My body is like, "I'm fine here", while my head says, "No you're not!". Dig deep and refocus. It may take a bit of time, but it will pass. Good Luck!!!

I am at 17 weeks and have not lost this week -- as a matter of fact I gained a pound. I just reviewed my FatSecret.com (similar to My Fitness Pal) and noticed that, although my fitness activities and liquid intake have remained the same, I have not been getting in as many calories this week -- around 650-680 down from 850-900. Also, my typical 80+ grams of Protein has been in the 60 range. So, my solution will be to up my proteins/calories a bit -- perhaps with a mid-afternoon snack and hopefully this will get me back on the "losing" train!

      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.
