I had my surgery 2 weeks yesterday and I have been on a stall for over a week now... Is it normal to be on a stall this early? I just want to keep losing, I'm ready to lose this weight! I've lost a total of 26 lbs which is great but I just am frustrated that I'm at a stall already.. I'm drinking lots of Water hoping it will break the stall.. Any suggestions will help, thanks!

The suggestions are pretty simple. Get your Protein and Water in. Get up and move, at least get in plenty of walking. Stick with your plan. Make sure you're getting enough sleep.

You've had pretty significant weight loss already and your body is likely just taking a break to adjust - the timing on stalls is different for everyone, so don't worry just yet. I'm betting that if you were to compare your measurements that you'd likely find they're still dropping even if the scale hasn't budged this week (and if you haven't started tracking your measurements, I suggest you start right now).

I know that if the scale stops moving for more than a couple of weeks I'm supposed to call my dietician, but otherwise I'm not supposed to overly worry about stops and starts.

If you want some additional ideas, dealing with stalls is a regular topic here. If you use the search function and hunt for the word "stall" you'll likely find a flood of different approaches.

Good luck!

      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.
