How much are you eating and how much are you drinking? Still sticking with Protein first and no cheater foods? The reason I ask is it seems that upping calories, drinking more and eating different things usually ends stalls for folks at your stage. However, you also have a very low BMI. You are already at where a lot of people consider their final goal. You have a lot less to lose so it's going to come off slower.

YUP, 2-month stall completely normal. Up your calories a bit then in a few days, continue your strict regimen and the pounds will continue sliding off.... good luck, don't get discouraged, the weight will plunge off from then on.

yup, sigh, 7 week stall just broke for me. This is my third, but longest, stall since surgery.

It's just part of what happens. There are many things to try: increase Water, exercise, calories, etc. Different things work for different people. OR...it was going to break anyway. Who knows? :)

All I know personally is that if I didn't have the sleeve, I would have given up and put weight back on by now. The sleeve lets me keep on truckin'. ;) In the end I think it's just adhering to the plan that gets you through.

Also, keep an eye on your measurements when this happens. You're typically getting smaller, although the scale won't budge.

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.
