I got the 3 week stall and was fine with it knowing it would pass . I didn't freak out I just went with it. So why am I freaking out over this stall at 8 weeks. Did anyone else have a stall at this time? I know I am able to eat more but obviously I am still nut eating anywhere near what I used to and only drinking Water so having no calories from liquids. I also went back to work 2 weeks ago when the stall started so I'm sure that has something to do with it.

In the past 3 months, I've had at least 1 two week stall each month. I'll go as long as 3 weeks with no weight loss (and sometimes a gain) then suddenly drop 2 or 3 pounds almost overnight. I haven't gotten use to it, but I don't let it freak me out anymore. :-)

I have been stalled for over a month now. Going back and forth between 223 and 220---it is driving me crazy, but my surgeon that was ok just don't let it get me down because it will be fine as long as I stay w/the program and believe in myself.

I'm dealing with my first long lasting stall now (sleeved 3/20) and it is driving me nuts.. I'm under 1,000 calories a day bounce between 50-100 carbs and sugar and fat are always under recommended goals. It'll pass.. eventually! :)

I have to keep reminding myself that I've lost 50 lbs already which is awesome for 8 weeks! If I continue like this it will come off! The compliments from my husband's best friend will have to be enough right now!

That's so weird when I saw this before the stall picture didn't show.

The day we were departing an Alaskan cruise there was a lady stuck in a stall on the ship.

I also stall for extended periods about every 20 pounds or so. I will lose steadily, a pound every day or so for awhile and then just stop cold. Sometimes I will gain a pound during the stall and then just start losing again. I just broke a stall this morning. I had been at 203 for a week or so and today l lost a pound. This one has been difficult for me because I really want to get to onederland. Soon. I am losing an average of 2 pounds a week.

I've been lucky and haven't stalled once, however my weight loss fluctuates. Some weeks its just half a pound others it is two pounds. After three weeks of half pound losses each week, I posted a 6lbs weight loss. Didn't do anything differently.

This week I will probably post my first gain. Nothing that I did, it is Water weight because of hormones. So I share your frustration. I know that at some point it will even out. Just keep doing what you are doing.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
