well I have heard you all talking about stalls, but now i believe I am also experiencing one myself. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO frustrated. How can we possibly only be eating 3 oz. of food and not have the scale move in over 10 days?

It just makes no sense to me. even tonight at dinner my hubby said "I can't believe the weight isn't just falling off of you with the little amt. you are eating." How long does it take to start loosing or did I do this for a darn 25 lbs total? I surely hope not.

Please help!

Wow I have not had my surgery yet but I am scheduled for February 28th. I think I would be following up with my surgeon. Hang in there and I wish you the very best.

Your body is "catching up" to the loss. If you haven't already, take your measurements because you'll usually lose inches when you're not losing the weight. Your scale will drop once your body adjusts....I'm 2 months out and stalled the 1st time for a 10 days and the 2nd time for 2 weeks...so I'm down 32 lbs. in 2 months, but I've also lost 12" and am down 2 sizes. Hang in there!

I am 16 days out. I lost 18 lbs in 14 days, then I have not lost anything the last two. I do notice that my body seems to be contracting. I am down a size. I am not freaked out yet.

      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.
