I've had two stalls so far. On both, I increased my calories and fat intake, and started losing again.Weird, I know. Maybe our bodies just need a shake up sometimes, and that's what you gave it!

I don't think I really ate more then normal but defently drank a lot of sugary piña colada and margaritas and whatever else. So I was not expecting to lose anything at all but I was losing really slow before I left so maybe I just jump started a stall or something.

Your body goes into starvation mode and holds on to stored fat. I have always heard in order to lose weight you have to eat! Everyone's body has a different starvation threshold so your body is tellung you feed me! Strange i know! :)

Yes it was 7 days! My tolerance is pretty low I havnt had an alcoholic drink since sugery so I was careful I did drink way to much champaign one night it snuck up on me real quick! 4 pounds a week is a lot that's why I was do surprised I normally lose about 2 a week.

      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.
