Been there too, change up what you are eating, add more Protein and exercise more. We all have them, just stay focused and you will begin to lose again.

I was stalled for 6 weeks stuck in the 220s. I am jut breaking out of it. Change up your food/ exercise for a bit. It is completely normal. Just be patient. Your body is catching up with itself.

It is heartbreaking for sure!! I had a almost 8 week stall. Then had 2 months I had only lost 14 pounds!! But I lost over 50 the first month and now I am losing 2-3 pounds a week again and I will be 7 months post op on the 29th.

We will always have stalls, but never fear when it breaks you will see results...also you loose inches too....

up your Protein, drink more Water....walk more are just a few things I do...

Oh and I hide the scale too..for me in the beginning all I wanted to do was see daily results...Now I have taught myself..I will do what i need to do, and my pouch will do the rest I don't need the extra stress of weighing myself (This is just something I do)

good luck

I actually found that getting less Protein for a day and having more calories helped...I was stuck for 2 weeks ...also increased excercise ;)

I am four weeks out. Get liquids in, but usually Protein is between 25-30 grams a day. I just can't do anything more than that right now. I am eating about 2 tablespoons a meal, 4 meals a day. Probably 400 calories. I have stalled for past week. Is it too few calories or not enough protein that is causing the stall? Walking 2 miles each day.

Yes...you need more protein especially so early on...I'm 5mos post op and I held back on my protein for a day...but I was able to get in more calories. ..you however need to follow dr. Orders...get all your protein in...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
