When was your surgery? How long has the stall been? My stalls last a long time (three weeks) and then I lose. I am currently in one now and thinking of adding an extra Protein Shake. I also am not great with exercise and need to get better about that. I know that will help.

My stalls last around 2-3 weeks - gotten to where I don't really consider them stalls, just the way my body is losing and readjusting. Gone from size 24 to size 14 in 5/12 months 61 pounds since surgery. For some that's slow losing but for me - just right!

I do exercise - I make sure I walk at least 15 mins minimum everyday. Usually do alot more but that is the least I will do. 8-10 glasses of Water and 80-120 grams of Protein.

Just figure out your body and how it loses and make adjustments until you feel great!

Liberated sleeve is correct. This is your body readjusting to the big changes you have been going through. Measure your body and watch the difference in inches. This was my favorite time, seeing the inches come off. :)

Keep doing what you're doing and it WILL happen. Honest. Upping the exercise couldn't hurt though! Just might be the thing that helps it move. You're doing fine. ;) It is very frustrating getting through those periods though. I understand! (six week stall when i was 3 weeks out)

      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.
