I am going on a four week stall.. Getting tired of it, but I figure this is a lifetime change so I figure I can be patient. Plus I'm not hungry so all is good

Gained from when, 12/12? Or in the last few days?

Do you mean you've haven't lost any weight or that you've gained recently?

How much have you gained? Please don't lose heart, you've come this far on the journey. I've had to re evaluate what I am eating and drinking. Most of us seem to have experienced a stall. It is good to stay connected here for support. Keep us posted. You can do this.

I'm a 12/5 sleever and I lost quickly... hit a stall... gained 2 lbs... then lost 4... gained 2 of them back and the scale hasn't moved in almost 2 weeks... Maybe I should try and up my calories for a few days...just to make sure my body knows it isn't being starved... I am managing to get in 700-800 cals and but I keep coming in shy of 60 grams of Protein ...

I sometimes think about giving up but... I've had surgery... give up how? it is what it is... and I am going to make the best of it...

Dee,

Yup me too, I wanna give up when everyone is eating "good" stuff. Like today at lunch in a room full of twenty something skinny beautiful girls. Then I think, give up how, my stomach is gone! lol sometimes I take one bite too many and realize giving up is impossible. That was the whole reason I had surgery so I couldn't give up.

We have to be patient. At some point we will win. I just keep yelling at myself

(in my head) "DON'T LOSE FOCUS!"

I hope it works.

K

Anyone who is stalled should really check carb levels. If I eat over 40g of carbs per day I can actually gain weight overnight. Under 20g of carbs and I lose really well. Everyone may have a different level of carb tolerance where your body wants to store Water and glycogen. Mine has always been very low.

I have my calories set @ 900, but rarely get over 600 in and my carb level is 23 and record shows I have never exceeded it. Oh well!

that happens to me. I guess it's because we see ourselves every day lol. But people around noticed more. I still see myself big too but my clothes now fit better and some are even starting to fit loose plus I am now wearing clothes that didn't fit before. I guess that's when I realize I am actually loosing weight :D

      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.
