Stall During Pre Op?

[SkinnyMinnie2Be 255]

As anyone experienced a stall during their pre op diet? Mine is shakes and Water only. I'm allowed 900-1100 calories a day but I keep it at 900. I have been stuck at the same weight for 3 days. I have to be down to 260 by sept 27 which is my next appt and surgery is oct 2. I have a very strict surgeon who will not operate if im anything over 260...Any advice?

I have been on a four week preop liquid diet (surgery is on Tuesday). I needed to lose 20 pounds prior to surgery and I'm there. I did have a stall my third week and only lost 4 pounds, all toward the end of the week. If you are worried, just walk as much as you can and it will really help! I bet you'll weigh yourself one day and suddenly you'll be down a few pounds! If I can do it you can do it!

By the way, my first preop appointment I was 280, second appointment was 276 (started preop at this point) and then four weeks later I'm 255.

Ha, we posted at he same time! I thought the preop diet was tough, but I made it through without ever cheating. I even had birthday parties, a visit across country to visit family (with two kids alone on the plane) and a bar mitzvah!

My cheat days were when my fiancé was in town. They weren't even cheating. I had grilled chicken and veggies lol but I guess on a liquid only diet it's cheating. There have been temptations..I chewed up a Danish at work and spat it out..I guess I'm just a human and still have cravings! But haven't swallowed solid food since September 6.. Hope I get down to 255 by my appointment

walking is great! you could also do something more fun, like zumba.. or some kinda video, so you don't feel like such a tard wandering around out in the wild (or maybe that's just me? lol).. heck, even wiggling your legs while you're sitting down watching TV or at the computer will burn some calories.

wish you the best. i believe you can and WILL do it!
