I am 11 wks out and down 35lbs but haven't lost any weight in almost 3 weeks! I get in all my Protein and supplements but haven't developed a good exercise routine yet... Anyone else experience stalls..? Is it just the lack of exercise or are intermittent stalls normal? Thanks! ????

Stalls are a normal part of the process. It's just your body getting used to the weight loss and reduced calories. I just got past a 3 week stall as of today. But for the past 3 months, I've had at least 1 two week stall per month.

And I'll freak out, thinking, "Is this it? Is my weight loss over?" But I keep on working my diet and exercise program and the weight loss starts again.

Yes, I have been freaking out.. I've been thinking to myself "did I put myself (and my pocketbook) through this for 35lbs?!"

Agreed. I have been in a stall for 2 weeks but I noticed that the more I work out the better it gets. I actually waited to start working out once I stalled so it would pick back up faster. Just make sure to stick to your fluids, move at least a little, even if it's just a walk, and focus on those portions :) My worst part was snacks...I love chips or crackers for Snacks but I switched to fruit or cheese sticks and they're comfortably filling.

Eating a slice of avocado a day got me out of my stall!! Not sure what it is about that stuff but it worked for me. Worth a shot!

stalls are the worst... but I notice that when I'm in a stall, I still lose inches!

      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.
