Three weeks today, and dropped 6 pounds this morning. FINALLY! I used to get annoyed at all the stall posts until I hit mine. I feel like I've finally arrived :D. And in 200s land to boot!

What I've learned:

People in stalls are nearly inconsolable. Hearing that it will pass does nothing when you're rounding the second week. in the back of my mind I knew it would pass, but I wanted to throw myself on the ground and throw a tantrum ;-)

Also, people that haven't had the sleeve have little sympathy. After dropping 55 pounds very quickly, my wife got annoyed when I complained daily about not losing more (bless her heart for putting up with me).

I agree with the second statement you made...I just went through a 3 week stall after dropping 35lbs my first month and it was tough..tough on my ego, tough on my reaction and tough on my surgeon...(he thought i had lost way to much to fast...he was happy that I stalled) It is true that really nothing can console us except getting the weight moving again....

I just broke mine last week, and let me tell you...it DOES feel great! Huge Congratulations on conquering yours!!!

      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.
