I've been holding at the same weight for over a month. Talked to my nut and she said my pouch should be restricting me and it may not be... What?!?? Am I easy here? Yes i go per my calories about 1000 a day. I do 2 Protein Shakes a day and a meal. I don't do sugar etc. so why a stall? She said I still should be losing up to 12 Months post op and I'm only 6.. And i should be on solider foods... What am I doing wrong?

Maybe u need to switch it up. Start eating meat Protein, Beans, fruits and veggies all day. Throw in some exercise or switch up what your doing.

I agree with Elle.

I've read from other members that the pouch can get very comfortable with only one type of diet regularly and that's when you bump into stalls.

Maybe as Elle suggested, mix it up a bit and do not eat the same foods every day. Kind of take your pouch by surprise and give it something new to work on.

I highly doubt your pouch is malfunctioning. From what I read, that happens when something medically wrong is going on.

      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.
