It could be a few things. I had a 5 week stall once. I was doing everything right. sometimes it just happens. But your body needs a certain amount of carbs in order to put the Protein to good use in your body. Try adding a little bit of carb by doing some complex carbohydrates and see if that helps.

Good Luck! I know its hard, but this is all about learning a balanced diet. I think we all go through the phase where we are afraid to eat carbs. It gets easier.

I have had countless stalls. Like you I do not eat bread, Pasta, starches. I do include veggies with my dinner. I live on premier choc shakes, Quest Protein bars, Greek yogurt, nuts, meat and select veggies. 70 + grams of Protein a day is a must for me.

How far out are you? 23 grams is very low but also depends on how far out you are. How are you doing on Water?

I'm not. Drinking a lot. Trying. Some times I get almost 4 bottles but a lot of times it 2 bottles a day. Warm Water makes me sick and it takes almost 3 hours to finish 1 bottle. I have to put sugar free kool aid in it. I'm trying every thing. And reading on everything.

If your Protein is not over 60gms a day you will not lose.

      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.
