Billie 70. yes it is called the 3 week stall :} it is very common so we named it such. Just keep following your eating protocol. Your weight will move. Your body is adjusting to the surgery and low calorie intake ..Once your dr. releases you to exercise..my suggestion is to start..it will def help you with weight loss. Just keep on doing what u are doing. and btw the post above ..just ignore it. We don't need

sarcasm on this web site. especially when we are helping

newbies. Let us know if you have further questions.

Oh come on......a little humor takes the edge off. Everything doesn't have to be so dry and serious. Nobody's being malicious.

OK, you want the serious version. Here goes. How about he word "stalled"'. Who uses that word. Weight loss surgery patients, that's who. So my guess is if your using the word stalled, you've already read about stalls and are aware they are typical to WLS. If you want more details, then reading more would certainly be an option. Hence the "Search" suggestion.

Chill out. Losing lots of weight on this journey should be and enjoyable ride.

Stalls are common and so is the nervousness over them :) Totally normal and understandable. After all, we have been through so much and don't want to fail. Just keep following your plan and it will break :)

Forget the block button. I certainly won't waste any more of my time offering any more "advice" (not advise) to you. I re-read that response to your first post and all I can say is you have an unusual way in interpreting plain English.

BTW, it's him, not her. And you can go to - "manage ignore prefs" - and block me easily.

Good luck with your surgery.

Ha, ha!! Good because people don't need your advice if it's gonna be condescending! And we certainly don't need English professors on this site...

I wonder if you were this mean when you were FAT!!! Probably not because you can't be fat, mean and ugly to folks at the same time. But hey you act more like female than male so who knows..... I hope you are well!! I don't need to block you, you now know how I feel about you LADY, I mean SIR!!!!

      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.
