How did you get past it? I know part of my issue is Protein intake. I can't eat much at a time so it's hard to get it all in. I also am running out of ideas for Breakfast. I just started some solids this week (fish, tuna, canned chicken, etc). I am not complaining at all...I am down 20 pounds which is amazing but I want to make sure I am doing everything I can to lose and still follow the plan! I didn't have the surgery just to find ways to cheat so any suggestions on the right way to kick start the weight loss again?

Hang in there. Don't weigh yourself often, maybe once a week. And focus on a heathly diet, not weight lost.

I was sleeved Feb 25th and lost 13 pounds the first week, following 17 from my preop diet. Then I stalled for THREE WEEKS! Talk about depressing, reading about those who lost 100 pounds in 5 days, lol. Much of the result is up to your biology. I stalled for about three weeks, then I lost 2, then 7 in a week, then a few more, then 0..... I weigh again tomorrow.

After 8 weeks my total is 48 pounds. Probably not breaking any records, but I think we have to remember it is an individual journey. I have struggled with it too.

I thought the first month was the hardest. If you have Protein Shakes, add some whey to them. There is a strawberry one that really enhances the flavor in a shake. Also, try making a quiche. I put bacon and sausage (both finely chopped) in mine, and ate it for several meals a day for several days. It felt great to finally eat some real food!

I'm sure others will comment and I hope to learn from their experience too.

      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?

      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.
