Well it looks like you have already lost 31 pounds. That 30 pound mark always has a plateau area around it somewhere. At least it does for me. Hang in there and stick to your guidelines and it will drop again. I went through a couple already. I did everything they tell you to try...extra Water, exercise, no salt, etc.... My nutritionist said my body was just holding on to every ounce it could thinking I'm starving it and to wait it out. She also made me stay off the scale for a while so I would dwell on how I felt instead of the number on the scale. It worked! She was right! I wish I had some magic answer other than stick it out, but I don't know of one. Best wishes and I'm sure you'll do great. :)

PS... Sorry about your break up. Emotional eating is huge. Try to stay focused on projects and keeping busy. I do spring cleaning!! It's great exercise as well!! Just so you know, 25 pounds since Feb 17th is GREAT!!! Keep it up! :D

Your weight loss seems right on track to me! I was sleeved in Dec. and you and I have lost about the same amount. Do you use My Fitness Pal? If you are lost, it helps to track everything you eat/drink there. Then you know exactly how much you are taking in. I stay between 600-800 calories a day. Good luck!

well i was sleeved the day after you and i have only lost 23lbs since surgery. But i have been losing inches even though the scale wasn't moving. I too feel like i am struggling sometimes because it has gotten harder for me to get my Protein Drinks down. But just stay the course, we'll make it.

Keep up the good work because you are losing. Our bodies are different, and we lose at different rates. Focus on something positive, buy a few daisies to put at your front door to remind you summer is coming, and we can all get outdoors and let the sunshine rejuvenate us. Life is good, and we are changing ourselves and our lives. God Bless.

I wouldn't call losing 31 lbs "not losing". That's over 15 lbs a month, I'm sure you probably haven't done that before! Do you know why it's taking you so long to get a shake down? Maybe try a different one? I'm less than 3 weeks out and it takes me about 1/2 hr usually but mine are yummy. Make sure you find some you really like and play around with them if you have to.

I think you're doing great! You're over 1/3 to your goal, which sounds pretty awesome.

Be well…

From what I've read, your body won't use that whole 50 g at once, it will "dispose" of the rest. You might as well go with a smaller tasty one with less Protein that's easier to get down. I like Premeir protein. The chocolate is thick so I mix it with 1/2 c skim milk. Makes it about 35 G protein. Not chalky to me at all. Tastes like chocolate milk. I often do 1/2 at a time and it only takes 10-15 min to get down. Then I can go back for the other 1/2 and it's still nice and cold. They also make strawberries and cream. It's thin enough that I don't add milk and I can get it down quickly. 30 G protein. Tastes like strawberry milk but not as sweet. I also do 1 cup skim milk mixed with a scoop of Unjury chocolate splendor. I heat it up and add a little sugar free hazelnut Torani Syrup. Tastes like fancy hot chocolate. I do have to drink that from a lidded stainless steel up to keep it warm and keep me from smelling the whey protein.

I really like the EAS CARB Advantage. I only like the chocolate fudge and the caramel latte. they are 100 cal and 17 gm of Protein.

      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.
