Out of frustration I put mine away this morning' date=' but I know ill take it back out! Maybe I need someone to hide it from me also, then id probably drive myself crazy looking for it![/quote']

I know we all talked about the stalls before but I think we all hit the 3-4 week stall together. I haven't lost at all this week. We just have to know that it will start moving again and it's up to out bodies to decide when. We just have to keep doing as we are told and follow the plan. The rest will fall into place. I think hiding the scale is the best idea yet! Lets continue with the before and after pics and measurements and not look at the scale until Monday. Who's with me? Would anyone like to share some pics? That's always a spirit lifter :)

You'll find that to be the biggest shock when you aren't losing lbs sometimes it's inches.

15 day stall here. Feeling depressed and to top it off, my house was burglarized today. :-( My 100 lb dogs are so sweet no good for keeping the house safe. Poor things are traumatized. I've got a headache. I guess you'd call this a Bad day.

If you have a stall you may try upping your calories a little and definitely make sure you are getting in your Protein. Our bodies are shocked into starvation mode and try to hold on to everything.

So the other day we had a company birthday party for two coworkers at Olive Garden. Hummm what to order. . Im on soft moist Proteins. So after much deliberation, I ordered the meatball sandwich with out the bread. It came on this cute long thin plate with 4 meatballs and sauce and cheese on top. It was delicious. (the 5 little bites that I had. ) I ate 3/4 of one meatball and I was done.

took the rest home.

Still stalled!!! Day 8. Going insane (even though I know I need to ride it out and keep going).

Mine finally broke. I ramped up my Protein to about 90 gms per day and that worked. Go figure!

Okay, I have been in a stall for about a week and then the last two days, I have GAINED two pounds! WHAT??? The only thing different I have done was have some Chinese food (just house chicken and cashew chicken - no veggies). And it was such small portions, I can't imagine that the sodium would have that much impact. I am only getting about 40 - 50 oz of Water a day... but I am really working on that trying to get up to at least 64 oz of water. So, today, I am back to basics... scrambled egg, ham and an ounce of cheese for Breakfast. A Protein Shake for snack. Deli turkey and string cheese for lunch. Beans for dinner. Hopefully, this will get me back on track... Very frustrated that I'm not losing faster, but trusting in the process. Of course, haven't done any walking or exercise yet... exercise is a 4-letter word in my house! Have to work on that, 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?

        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.
