I'm on my second stall and I just had surgery may 15th. My first stall lasted5 days then I lost a few pounds within a week then BAM another stall...going on day 6. I lost one pound yesterday and nothing again. Its frustrating but can't quit so just keep pushing.

I have stalled numerous times. I am over it cause if you pay close attention your body is changing. Stay on the Protein, up it if you can and drink Water, drink water and then drink some water.

I stalled around that time too I think allot of people do your body is adjusting to the new way of life It will pass you will lose and stall then lose then stall. In the end you will lose the weight and that's whats important :) Dont let this bring you down keep up with everything you have been doing :)

I find the lower the calories I eat the slower I lose. I eat 800-1000 per day and am losing 2-3 lbs a week which I'm very happy with. When I was only eating 600 I was always tired, dizzy and didn't lose. My husband and I went to Vegas when I was 5 weeks and he laughed because I was totally spent by 8pm every night (that is soooo unlike me lol)! I also started adding some carbs. oatmeal mainly and I think that also helped. Good luck to you.

      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.
