Yes let's stop talking about the "3 week stall"

Around here and start talking about the more serious 6th month stall!

I have been at the same weight for about a month.... :(

Same boat here. I just have to hope that our bodies are playing catch up and will start up the loss again.

Girl all I know is my family is sitting here eating stuffed pizza and I'm eating a plain Greek yogurt with blueberries... And tomorrow I will weight the same I'm sure... I hit 171 and I stay there or go up a pound or two on a daily basis for a month now.. I'm getting a treadmill on Thursday. Maybe if I just walk all day on it I'll start losing again..

I'm just days away from my 6 month anniversary of surgery. The weight loss has s l o w e d WAY down, and when I do lose it's .2 or .4. I can feel frustrated at times, because I am exercising and following the food guidelines. I usually drink 9 to 11 8 oz glasses of Water a day, plus some herbal tea and 8 oz of fat free milk a day.

I had to do some 'self-talk' and tell myself (repeatedly & usually when I am on or just off the scale!!) that this is a life long journey. If I keep following this way of life, the weight will come off. I feel better than I ever have and that in itself is a great thing.

When I walk before dinner with my husband (trying to get him to live a healthier lifestyle) he works to keep up with me. That was not the case prior to the surgery or lifestyle changes.

I believe that we will get to our weight goals and along the way we reach other goals, like moving easier, feeling more energetic, wearing smaller clothes, being healthier, getting off medications and feeling so much better about ourselves.

      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.
