Sorry, I don't have any advice for you other than to hang on and it will happen. I've read tons of posts on here where people have gotten into a stall and then all of a sudden it stops and the lbs start to come off. I've also read where our bodies go into starvation mode and try to hold on to what they have because we are no longer feeding them as we were. The body is a strange creature. I am also in a stall even though I am pre-op. I have been on a 1200 cal. diet since 10/2. In Oct. I lost 16 lbs. As of today, 11/25, I have lost 18 lbs. I have stalled terribly this month alone. Have not lost a pound since 11/3. But, I just keep plugging along and stay on my diet every day. And exercise...have to exercise... I know this doesn't solve your problem but stick with it. I'm sure you will be oh so happy soon when the lbs start to go! Good luck!

Hang in there. Keep that measurement tape around. I found that I would lose inches and pounds some weeks. Other weeks I would lose one or the other but not both. The scale isn't the only way to measure success. Stalls happen all of the time. Just keep hammering away, and you will break out.

      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.
