Hi, I am 7 months out from surgery, I had a stall at 3 weeks that lasted almost 4 weeks, another at 3 months that lasted 3 weeks and just finished another at 6 months that lasted 3 weeks. I continued to lose inches according to my friends, but the weight comes off slow and I typically see those big stalls, which my Dr told me are normal for 3, 6 and 9 months. It feels discouraging the first time around, but believe me, it will come off if you keep doing what is right. Good luck.

I am almost 4 months out and I get stalls too, in fact I am in one now for a little over a week now, kind of frustrating, I understand.

I lost very little in month 4 &5 but my body shape has changed alot. All of a sudden XL tops were way to big. I dont measure but I most have lost alot of inches. It's amazing. Now that I'm almost 6 months out I've started losing again.

I am 5 months out sleeved two weeks before you and have had some stalls, but none lasted too long. I was told to eat some carbs(good carbs) and sleep as your body needs rest if you are working out alot like I was. Broke my stall in 2-3 days and haven't had a stall in months. I have lost 66 pounds to date and am 5 pounds from goal, my new concern is will my body recognize that and stop losing weight? I work out 5-6 times a week and am a little nervous I could end up way under goal....not complaining though I used to be way over goal lol!

I was sleeved two weeks before you and am down 66 pounds. I had some stalls in the beginning but was told to eat carbs, change up my routine and sleep. Did that and it broke my stall, haven't had one in awhile.

      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.
