You probably will not like this answer but stalls are normal. I would first make sure your eating and exercise habits have not changed. If they are the same then you body is just in a adjustment time. I have had several stalls. Some short and some as long as 1 1/2 months. The longest one was just recent and I had lost a lot of weight....I knew my body was adjusting. That being said I always lose inches during a stall on the scale. Try not to panic the scale will move again. Best Wishes to you...

Good News!!!

If your stomach grows back you will be VERY famous!!! But it won't. You are doing well, and transitioning from fast to normal weight loss. If, on average you are losing a pound or two a week... over the long term you are doing well! Just keep your head going and stay with your program!

I'm 3.5 months out, and just lost a pound after an 8 day "stall". I don't really consider them stalls, though. I exercise regularly, have been following my NUT's plan, and have lost steadily since surgery. But it's not a daily loss, at least not for me. I rarely go up on the scale (maybe a few ounces, but not that often) but my loss tends to look like a crazy staircase - it always goes down, but the steps are all different lengths.

I don't stress too much about the stalls - there are a million posts on here about them, everyone goes through it, and there are vets on here who are still losing weight after 2 or 3 years! Even if it takes me that long, I'll be happy because I'll still be healthier than I was pre-op!

Good luck to you!

      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.
