So most have heard my story about lots of stalls. Do u guys think its possible to go from 203 to 185 by Christmas? I've made that my next goal, hoping that this 4 week stall will break soon! All advice and tips are greatly appreciated. I'm down 48 since July 7th and I follow and exceed my docs rules. Thanks!

I've heard bumping you calorie intake up a bit, change up the exercise and increasing your Fluid can kick start a stall. Good luck to reaching that next goal.

I'm not sure but I'll share something that I am doing. In several posts I have read that 10 lbs a month is a reasonable expectation. So I set a "dream goal" for weight loss for the same time every month at an estimated 10 lb loss per month and I entered these in my cell phone calendar. On November 26 I have a dream goal coming up to be at 186. I have already passed that goal and am 181. Now I can either keep my December goal where I had it before at 176, or change it to reflect a 10 lb loss from what I weight on the upcoming date of November 26.

I know this really doesn't address your exact question, but it might show you that you are doing better than you think.

As a side note, I was very stalled for several weeks. Then suddenly I started going to the bathroom a lot. My body had been holding on to a lot of Water. Probably because I don't really drink enough. The stall broke.

      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.
