I am 6 weeks post op today and I haven't lost weight in 3 weeks. I am stuck at 28 pounds lost and I don't know what to do I think I'm going crazy. I need to know if this is normal or not. I lost 50 pounds 2 years ago on my own and this is exactly where I was stuck and I haven't been below this weight in well over 10 years. I feel defeated and I can't stop crying everyday.

The stress might not be helping :(

Are you strong enough to put the scale away and just trust the process?

You've read it time and time again that the scale might not move but you are still burning fat. I've said this a million times, but I'll keep saying it - YOU ARE MORE THAN A NUMBER ON A SCALE.

Stay strong, trust the process, be kind to yourself and I swear it will all work itself out!

It's the three week stall....happens more often then not. Mine lasted about 4 weeks, then finally the scale started moving. Don't worry! This will pass, and you will start losing again. :)

Yup! I had this problem too. It lasted for a few weeks, but now the scale is slowly moving again. I'll take a pound or two a week loss than nothing. It will move again!

Are you exercising/walking?

No words of wisdom, just wishing you patience because I know I will need it when I hit the stall.

I literally just posted the same thing a few days ago. I had been stalled for over 4 weeks and the scale just finally moved on Thursday night. I know it is hard but you can't give up. Keep focused. You may not be losing pounds but you are losing inches. That concept was bizarre to me but it really is true. Just buckle down, follow the plan and you will break through!

      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.
