I'm 7 weeks out and I've hit a stall again. I've been the same for 2 weeks any suggestions on how to break this stupid stall? I have lost 31 lbs so far but its taken me a month to lose 8-10 lbs ..I'm getting really discouraged

I completely understand your frustration. I stalled out at 7 weeks also......and am still stalled out at 11 weeks. Haven't lost a lb. to speak of. I keep fluctuating 3-5 lbs each day. I'm ready to pull my hair out (if it wasn't already falling out, thank you very much anesthetic!). Everything I have read says it will get moving again when the old body is ready to. I just wish it would happen soon!

I think that is one of the BIGGEST frustrations for ALL of us during this process. BUT, with that being said, most of all of us hit plateaus all the time. I hit a plateau for the entire MONTH of January :( . But I am not discouraged because I know I am doing all the right things- exercise and good diet. I think our bodies just have a different idea about adjusting to our weight loss. Especially since I have never lost weight this fast before- I think my body is freaking out a bit. You will totally get through this- hang in there! You will start losing again and if you aren't losing- I have noticed my clothes fit better even if the scale isn't moving.Thanks for your post. Keep up what you are doing! Butterthbean (a wise member) has a link regarding plateaus- check it out. 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.
