Yes...its very normal to stall. Search the dreaded 3 week stall and see for yourself. I was depressed when the scale stopped moving so early. But I had never heard of stalls. Keep reading...you're not alone.

Sleeved May 15th

SW 205

CW 174

IVE been at 174 for almost a week. I think my body is in starvation mode. I had a virus and haven't been able to eat hardly anything.

Hello all . my surgery was July 10th. I am so over Protein Shakes ( did a 2 week Protein diet like I am sure most of us were). Since starting that 3 weeks ago i am down 23 lbs . My doc said she is fine with me proceeding to puree foods. Anyone know how mashed potatoes work for them if they are on puree yet? I only want a taste just to get something different from sweet protein shakes .

Yuck , cauliflower lol . I am hoping after all of this that my taste buds change and that I will like more things. I wish I wasn't so picky . I am trying to mainly focus on just staying hydrated .

cauliflower instead of potatoes? just because it is white? not a substitute at all, i would rather go hungry, or bang my head against a brick wall. :(

I had my surgery on 7/3 and the weight lost stopped! I'm trying to keep a positive attitude, but it's hard. I'm also tired of the sweet Protein Shakes. I'm mainly getting my Protein from Isopure drinks. My doctor gave me the ik for puree, but I don't know what to eat either :(

Try to stay positive . I know why none of my diet and exercising throughout the years never worked . I always would lose quick then the # on the scale didn't decrease quick enough for me so I lost my willpower and patience . I'm trying now to change that mindset and quit relying so much on that # on the scale and take each day one at a time . It's hard but this site seems to offer a lot of support . If you need a shoulder , let me know . I'm a great listener and we are going through it together !

Try refried Beans with cheese, chicken salad, not potatoes! I am on to soft food tomorrow sleeved on the 8th....baked chicken, shrimp, cheese...stuff like that. I actually started the chicken salad a day early. A few hours won't matter and I feel soooo much better with a few tsps of food in me!

      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.
