I had surgery almost a month ago. I am at 30 pounds lost and have been the same weight for 10 days. I am not over eating and I am working out 5 days a week. I try hard to get 60 grams of Protein but sometimes it is a struggle when I work full time and busy! :) any tricks?! Thanks

Search three week stall here. You will see its very common. Also on those posts people have listed what they tried and what worked to break the dreaded three week stall.

Congrats on 30 lbs down!! Over a lb a day!!!

Congratulations! I have found the unjury chicken Soup (www.Unjury.com) to be a great way to get in 21 grams of Protein in 8oz. For me it goes down really easy and tastes great.

Good luck

Your probably at a stall. IT happens. Happened to me. Amp up your exercise. That's the only way to get through it...!

Thanks everyone. Just got done at the gym and I will hit my treadmill tonight at home after work! I do have the bad habit of being in the darn scale every morning!?

You are not alone! I hit a still at 4 weeks FOR 2 weeks. It is frustrating but your body will continue to lose! Hang in there. Stalls are perfectly normal. Butterthebean (very experienced member on here) has a link in his signature which really helped me through the first few stalls. Let me pass it on to you! http://www.dsfacts.com/weight-loss-stall-or-plateau.html

      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.
