I really wish I knew too! I am 4 weeks out and really haven't moved in the past two weeks and when I did it was like two pounds over one night and nothing since. Getting frusterated.

Time is what you need to get out if your stall. Give you body a break. You just messed with everything it has ever known. It believes you are starving to death and that the crops and hunters are having a bad month. See many many years ago people would store fat to help them through lean times. Our body's being the amazing vessels they are would go into starvation mode. It would hang onto everything. Just give it a chance to stop throwing a temper tantrum and you will start losing again.

If you are further out tips to break a stall are increase Protein, Water, and exercise.

Stalls will happen and when they do you lose inches. I have always felt like the inches were more important than a silly number. I have gotten to the point that I want gain muscle weight.

My final thought on this That in several months when you have done the stall dance several times someone will post panicked about their first stall. You will smile and remember that it is part of the process and tell them to relax the journey is just beginning.

I love this! I totally agree I was thinking what am I doing wrong and a RNY Buddy said drink more Water and WAHHHHLAAAA I started moving. I also went to kickboxing class and ate lots and lots and lots of veggies. It's a process, but a beautiful one! :)

I was in a stall 5 months post op and it lasted 3 months without any loss what so ever. I stuck to my eating plan, increased the Protein a bit and changed up my exercise from 45 minutes to 1 hour and in increased the intensity big time..... the pounds started coming off again. I did notice that when I was in my stall my size went down but not the number on the scale. My surgeon says stop obsessing of the number on the scale !!! I still weight my self daily because I want to stay on track... I don't freak if it goes up an pound or two because I know I am eating and doing everything right. Hang in there it will move...change up some things to re-restart.

      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.
