I track everything on MFP. I was sleeved on Jan 7th and I started at 250. I was only able to eat (drink) between 400 and 500 calories per day until this week. I started the week at 233. I have increased my calorie intake to 800 calories per day and I've increased my Protein intake significantly. I'm still not getting 80 grams, but it is much more than I was getting before. Today I am 2 pounds heavier. Could eating 800 calories per day cause me to gain since my body was used to 500?

You're right on track for the 3 week stall. My longest stall was at 3 weeks out and lasted 20 days. Just keep doing you and follow your plan. Your body is just readjusting. I hit a stall every 2-3 weeks. I'm a classic stair-step loser. I've stair stepped my way down 211 pounds so far :)

DO NOT worry and do not do anything crazy. Just get your Water and Protein in and keep doing you. YOU GOT THIS. It's a mental mind **** so hold on tight.

Thank you. It doesn't make sense that I can eat so little and not lose weight every day but it helps to know I'm normal.

At this point month 1/2 out and similar diet as you my weight has been plateauing every so often or few days apart and between and when it does the weight fluxtuates a few pounds up, stalls, then I loose a a few more than the high number after couple days, another pound or more then the same. Has been on going for a while, I expect added exrcise soon will change this some but I expect these plateaus and fluxtuations to go on. I do lose more going downwards and its better maybe to judge on a weekly bases as others do it and I've read here on forums before.

      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.
