This Monday I'll be 6 weeks post-op. I was losing 1-3lbs a day, I haven't changed a thing, but now I have only loss 2-3lbs in the past 2.5 weeks. I understand there will be stahls or plateaus everyone hits, but this soon and for this long?

The first month is always to highest weight loss, and then, for most, it gradually slows down. If everyone lost 1-3lbs a day for the duration, everyone be at goal in 2 months. You are doing great, just try to look at it in perspective...would you lose 2-3 pounds a week on your own before surgery...

Don't be discouraged by stalls. Remember you could be losing inches! I always measure my hips, arms, waist, and neck on the 3rd of every month to see how many inches I have lost. That way if I become discouraged at the number on the scale ..I go and look at the inches I am losing! Makes a huge difference on my outlook! And remember, you didn't gain the weight overnight. It just takes time to get it off. Patience grasshopper....it will come...

I hit a stall about 2 weeks ago (Am 4 weeks out now) and have been on it since. I have not lost anything in 15 days, but have been continuing to follow the plan. I would be thrilled with any pounds. Your loss will probably pick back up. Don't let it get you down, our bodies just need time to adjust. You're doing awesome, keep it up! =)

I feel so much better after reading this...My first two weeks post-op I dropped 25lbs, which amazed me. Now, at the end of week 3 I actually gained a pound back. These stalls must be pretty common. Thanks for the perspective, now I can chill out a little!

I've been stalled for almost 2 weeks! Today was 5 weeks since my surgery and it's really starting to make me think I'm doing something wrong! But I'm not as I log everything I put in my mouth :/ I will be patient as all the veterans say to be and just wait for something to happen I guess???

I feel your frustration. I am 3 1/2 weeks out and this past week I have lost a big fat 0. It's even more frustrating that I was super active this week. I think I'll take piplulas advice and start tracking my inches lost.

      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.
