In my opinion, if you are following the rules of the sleeve like protien, hydration, no snacking, calories, exercise, etc., then you are doing all you can, and time is your friend. I think if you are truly doing the right things, there is nothing we can do impact it. Just my opinion.

Hi I was the same way, no movement on the stall so I added more Water and an extra mile to my walk and made sure I was having my protein...

I barely ever stall. When I do, I up my calories and carbs for a day and then I'm down the next day. I'm not saying it works for everyone, but I'm 5 month out and 96 lbs down. So I'd say I'm doing alright. Good luck.

Tekara, thanks so much for sharing this. Your weight loss is awesome--congrats! My RD recommended something similar to this when I had a pre-op stall, and it seemed to work. How long do you go without seeing a weight loss before you do the higher calorie/carb day? Could you give an example of your typical daily intake and then a carb/calorie day? I would really appreciate it. Also, how often/how much do you exercise on average? thank you so much!

I am 9 weeks out I hit a stall after weighing myself daily or even twice a day for 2 weeks only losing ounces. To me it was mental but I weighed myself at 8 1/2 weeks out and down 10 more lbs. So, if you weigh yourself like I used to give yourself a brake and hopefully it will pass and if not doing more intake and then less one day sounds good because it doesnt give your body time to adjust to a certain weight. Good luck!

Thanks everyone for the responses and CONGRATULATIONS to ALL on your weightloss. Everyone seems to keep mentioning Protein. My Protein intake isn't good at all I find it impossible to consume that much. What Proteins are you guys having?

I am five months out and 72 lbs down. (32 lbs from goal weight). I'm in my third stall and think partially it coincides with being in premenopause. My body and the stalls seem to wait until it figures out what it wants to do. I increase Proteins during this time (I drink chocolate Premier Protein shake from Costco). Congratulations to everyone!

Really increasing your Water intake is the sure fire way to help drop the weight quicker and at a sufficient pace.

Good luck! You will always be losing inches even when the scale doesn't budge so no worries :)

Thanks! Yours will end soon too!

I find it so hard to drink any kind of liquids because of the whole not drinking 30 minutes before and after a meal. I get scared I'm going to stretch my sleeve so soon. My drs have really freaked me out about everything and that's why I use this app as a resource. Thanks guys! For the support and responses :)

      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.
