I am going through the same thing. I am 3 weeks post-op and I have not lost any weight in over a week. It's getting very frustrating. I have sought answers in this forum and they are calling it the 3-4 week stall. I am still in the middle of it, so I have not passed through it yet. But others are telling me that it is temporary and that the weight loss will continue after this hurdle. Hold on and we'll get there!

I am 2 wks out and gained 1/2 pound this morning. I know I am due to start my period in 4 days, so pretty sure that's where the extra weight is coming from. I have only lost 12 lbs is this normal?

I think our periods will in fact effect our weight. I usually gain 2 or 3 pounds during my period anyway. I also was on my period this week. So the fact that I haven't lost any for a week I think is part of it too. I called my WL nutritionist and they really urged me to drink the two Protein Shakes a day. I gotta get better about that.

I'm 2 weeks out tomorrow and have lost 11 lbs total. I would say it's pretty normal at this point.

I am two weeks out and my weight-loss stopped also. I lost 20 pounds the first two weeks and now it has been four days and the scale has not moved except this morning I gained 1 pound. I know it's not from eating, Because I have not gone over 400 cal per day. I'm glad to hear that others are having the same experience and I'm anxious to get through this stall.

My Weight Loss Nutritionist said that drinking the 2 Protein Drinks a day should also help us get past this hurdle AND to not forget about the Water too.

      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.
