I had a 6 week stall, only lost 1 lb. Since January 15, I've lost 8 lbs!! So excited! 13 lbs away from my second goal which is a BMi of 25 and no longer overweight. 10 lbs after that and I'm officially on maintenance. Yippee!! Let's just keep the Girl Scouts (cookies) away from the house!!

I have to admit, I am a little disappointed that I weighed in yesterday, and had only lost a pound last week. Rationally, I know 1-2 pounds per week is an average loss, and my monthly guest may play a part in Water retention...I guess we all just have our moments. I told my mom, "This is what normal people's bodies do during Weight Watchers!" That didn't work for me last time around. It amazes me that I have to eat 500 calories and have 80% of my stomach removed before I see the scale SLOWLY moving in the right direction! sigh...

Thank you for your uplifting news! (And for allowing me to vent.)

I'm frustrated too!! It seemed to fall off at first, 21 lbs in 17 days! Then nothing for the last 5 :(

I started mushy foods, but can eat very very little. Wondering if my body is just hanging onto everything now. I'm moving all day with two little ones, don't have gym clearance for 3 more wks...please let me lose some more before then!!

Don't get frustrated!! I had a 5 week stall. Only lost one lb!!! I have now lost another 8. There is an article about how our bodies use and store glycogen. This is what causes stalls. Google it and you will feel much better!!! Hey!!! 21 lbs isn't anything to cry about. Good for you!!!!! xoxo, K

      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.
