So I'm 4 weeks post op tomorrow and have lost 22 lbs. I have been stuck at this weight for a week. Quite frustrating! I know 22lbs is a great achievement but it seems like such a slow go. Just had to vent!

I just broke my second stall. It's normal. Increasing, Protein, exercise and calories usually helps.

I thought I was the only one nmy weight loss is moving very slowly and a friend says ur dr is expecting u to have lost at least 50lbs since ur surgery, by my one month visit. Thats nuts to me I mean I lost 40lbs so far since I started the liquid diet and surgery. My friend keeps comparing her surgery from over four yrs ago with mine, drives me crazy our situations could not be more different. Ive lost 22lbs since my surgery two weeks ago.

I too am going nuts with a stall !!! I stalled for 1 1/2 weeks then lost a few pounds...now stalled again!!! Driving me NUTS!! I am doing all I can....just gotta wait and let my body adjust I guess. I want to be down at least 75lbs if not more by my next appt Dec 13th...that will be 4 months post op. I will increase my Protein, exercise and try more water....although i could float now!

Good luck to all the others with stalls.... hoping they break soon!

I am 6+ months post op and was in a stall for a month and a half without the scale moving at all !!!!! I increased the time and intensity of my exercise and the scale is on the move again :) My clothes were getting loose but the scale was not moving. But I'm good now and out of the slump :) Hang in there, change some things around, and get it moving again.

So I saw the surgeon today. He told me that patients that are converted from a band to rny don't get as great of weightloss compared to patients that have rny to start! Apparently with the band my metabolism has been slowed and will continue to stay that way unless I exercise more. My dietician also said that my average of 80-90 grams of Protein is too much. So now she wants me to stick to 60 grams. We will see if this helps with the stall!

Doctor is not expecting 50lb in the first month...while some people reach that, most do not. You are doing great! Don't worry or compare...everyone's metabolism is a lil different:)

I am at a huge stall- really nothing moving for about 3 weeks and I can tell my appetite is increasing. :(

You too? I find my self eating more like grabbing extra pretzel. Not eating the real food I eat healthy in that way but I'm snacking grabbing a piece of cheese or cracker all the time. I need to stop that lmbo. I do feel slimmer this week. I might have broke the stall let's see Monday.

I am 10 days out, was doing good then 4 days ago hit 217.5 only to have been stuck here! I am getting really mad that it's not moving!!! I can't work out but have been walking I can say I'm not getting my 60-80 grams of Protein bc it makes me so queasy. I am however trying to supplement with food as possible. Idk I really hope this starts moving again :(

      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.
