Mine lasted about 2 weeks. Then I was down about another 4 pounds, but this morning I was the same weight as yesterday. I have a LOT of trouble getting in more than 600-700 calories though, which doesn't help.

I am very surprised when I hear that , I had my surgery 8 days ago and I have lost 12 lbs , and during my 14 day pre op diet , Lost 15 lbs total weight loss 27 lbs. Down to 210 lbs.

Have you asked your doctor why this is happening? please keep me posted I would really like to know why this happens to some people.

I wish you the best of luck.

Judging from what I've seen here, a week 3 stall is pretty common. After all, most of us are living on super low calories now. Haven't bothered to ask because I'm doing everything right nutritionally and I really can't complain about losing 50 pounds in about 6 weeks. There are a lot of reasons to stall or plateau and while I'll grumble and I hate them royally, I know it's just a part of losing a lot of weight really quickly.

I was sleeved oct 23, four weeks ago today! First 10 days, I lost 14 pounds! Since then, I've only lost 2 more, and that was just in the last couple days! Hopefully the losing will pick up soon! This is more of a struggle than I expected!

Yeah--after all the years of dieting I know that an increased calorie day would be helpful for me and my stall, but like a previous poster said, I struggle to get in enough calories daily--I feel like I am always eating or drinking something to get in fluids or Protein.< /p>

At stalls though, I will be even more thankful for my sleeve though because without it, stalls tended to make me say "screw it" and go "off" my diet. This time I will persevere!!!

      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.
