Even with my period I'm stalled. Normally (pre-op) I would go up 3-4 lbs. But my stall is for real, so it won't even go up during my period. I'm on now and this is the first time I haven't gained weight during my period.

I officially have the super stall!

Yea I'm only 3 weeks (not even) post op and I'm at a stall and then I stepped on the scale it said i gained two lbs. it has always been common for me to go up a couple lbs during my period though so I'm hoping this is just what it is. Trying not to get discouraged ????

Don't get discouraged. I've told my story so many times to people because I have the super stall going on. Been sleeved 9 weeks with 7 of those in a stall. Following all the directions given by my Nut and Dr.

It's a running joke because I'm now smaller (size) at this weight than I was when I weighed 50 lbs less. I'm starting to consider running off to the circus because there is no way a woman my height and weight should be in such a small size.

The 3 week stall is super common. And gaining with TOM and/or stalling is common too. Don't worry! I always gained a few lbs and/or stalled during TOM...

Do you know how long the stall lasts or is it different for everyone at 3 weeks?

It's different for everybody. I had several Along the way. The first few really upset me then I realized how much my body was actually changing during these stalls. Your body's cells have to re-align and re-adjust after weight changes so it makes sense really. I know I had one stall that liked to drove me crazy that lasted 3 weeks or so but in that time frame my pants got so loose I had to go buy smaller ones. So I stopped thinking of those periods as stalls and realized they were really just adjustment periods my body needed.

Always gained 3 lbs during that time. I stalled right after my surgery, I wasn't getting enough calories in.

      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.
