I'm right there with you. I have stayed the same weight since Friday so that's six days. the only thing that makes me feel better is that its predicted that most of us would have that dreaded 3 weeks stall. To look on the bright side we're probably doing something right!! Lol :-D I'm sure we will succeed, we just have to do what we're doing and greatness will follow, (along with a few stalls here and there.)

It was such a huge thrill to watch the scale keep dropping and now it hasn't moved for the past few days its such a downer and I'm trying super hard not to become depressed over it.

OMG god, thank you for admitting to stall. I'm so bummed I have only lost a pound from my post op visit. First I blamed my old ass scale, thinking well I will use this a new baseline but the damn thing hasn't budged except for up (in the evenings bc I like to torture myself).

I track my calories, 450-550 per day, 60g Protein (mainly from shakes but slowly adding more puréed food) and well hydrated with Water (no artificial staff).

My exercise efforts are dismal but this stall has me so unmotivated. Went back to work this week so I'm trying to reincorporated exercise but with so few calories I should lose something! Ugh, just need to vent this out....

Sad to admit, but so happy to see other July 8 ppl stalled, feel less like a failure.

Arghhhhhh

I feel the same! My Dr said that during my whole weight loss journey, it will be like this. Big amounts of weight will drop off during some periods, and then a complete stall or slight gain during other times. He said it will go back and forth like that through the whole journey. I hope this eases your mind a little more. (i haven't lost in almost a week either)

      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.
