Hey all! So for the last 3 weeks I have been at the same weight! I only weigh once a week, I'm not a scale freak! But I've switched up my diet a little bit, more Water , more Protein, diff Proteins, my sugars are barly any and my carbs are never higher than 10-20 and I never eat bad carbs , bread , white flour ! What's the problem Ahhh! I'm 12 weeks out!

Im 4 weeks out and have hit a stall I cant loose a pound for the life of me now. I was so excited the first 3 weeks I was loosing 5 pounds a week. I think by reading these blogs the stalls hit several times through out the journey. We just have to get through them as they come our way.

Yep. Stalls are like lovers. Your first will probably not be your last.

You're fine. Your body is adjusting and holding onto those calories. Keep doing all the right things and the scale will move soon.

I had a 3 week stall too at about week 5....it sucks but it will turn around again. Don't eat less calories trying to break the stall! I did weight watchers years ago and when I hit a stall they told me to eat 100 to 200 calories more for a couple days then get back on track......do that at least every 5 days until it breaks. Your body thinks its starving..its adjusting to everything. If you eat a few more calories every now and again it will get back on the losing track knowing you will feed it again soon enough. It worked every time on weight watchers. But, with the sleeve its really hard to eat even 100 calories more in a day with as little room as we have now and the need to meet all of our Protein and water! If you can do it...it works.

I've had two stalls with no change in eating habits/exercise. But I'm down over 110 lbs and all my co-morbidities are cured. My weight loss trajectory is still in the downward direction. Don't sweat it! You'll get there!

      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.
