It's very frustrating. I even hit a complete stall beginning on week 3. The scale didn't budge for 14 freaking days. I finally started upping my calories from 450 to about 700 and the scale is finally moving. Also started working out hard yesterday. Slow and steady wins the race, right? ;-)

I'm not as fast as others, either! But as long as the scale comes down I don't care! I didn't put this weight on overnight, I must be patient!! :-)

Yes, I know it's frustrating, I was 2 weeks in a stall...then I started upping my calories, eat every 3 hours (hungry pains!) and the scale is moving now! So, you right, and be consistent! Good luck to us! lol

      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.
