There is a stall subforum you should post this in.

"Don't sweat the stall stuff"

http://www.bariatricpal.com/forum/1102-dont-sweat-the-stall-stuff-new/

Or if you just do a search for "stall" you will find dozens of answers to your question already posted. My answer is throw the scale away, get in all your Protein and Water, follow your basic meal plan and go enjoy your new life.

Keep doing what you're supposed to do and it will pass with time.

I agree with everything Kindle said but I will add one more thing. Carbs, for me, are a killer for weight loss. As long as I stay under 50 or 60 carbs my weight will come down. When I have a day when my carbs are up around 80 or more the weight stops. When, at 6 weeks, I was told to raise my calorie intake from 800 to 1,000 the extra carbs came with that increase. I keep a food diary but I wasn't told to keep my carbs down. I had days when my carb count was 80 - 100. Very easy to do when you don't watch what the carb count is in your food. Thank goodness people talked about this issue & most people recommended 50 carbs per day. I started doing this & got thru my stall. If you aren't already doing a food diary, you should. Keeps me on track. I use MyFitnessPal & have been amazed at the foods listed on this app. Hopes this helps. Good luck.

      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.
