I am in a very similar boat! I am approx. 15 weeks post-op and I've lost approx. 62 lbs (I have another 120 lbs to go!). My normal "pattern" has been losing for about 3 weeks, then stall for about 10-12 days. This most recent stall started approx. 3 weeks ago however and is still going strong!

I'm finding my discipline is wavering a bit during these long stalls. I'm more likely to eat high carb limits then I regularly do. Also feeling less motivation to work-out or exercise, and more easily tempted by bad foods!

On the weekend, I decided that I needed to so something to break my mind out of the stall I'm in (along with my body!). So I'm doing 3-5 days of liquids only to purge myself of the carb cycle and remind myself what it was like when I started this journey. I'm hoping it will snap me back onto a better routine and get my body moving again (weight-loss and exercise!).

Good luck. Try your best to hang in there!

those stalls happen to us all. I have been in one for 2 months now. It happens more frequently the closer you are to goal. dont let it discourage you. you will make it through! :)

I agree, I've been fighting mine for two months now. I keep going up and down with the same 5lbs so frustrating. I am an exercise machine and watch what I eat. so this too shall pass.

      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.
