It could last several weeks. Hang tight. Soon you may step on the scale and see a 4 pound drop. You're body is adjusting, it will fix itself. I promise.

For me it lasted more than 3 weeks. Then I lost another 10lbs over 3 weeks and hit another stall. The good news is my next couple of stalls only lasted about a week each. It is frustrating!

@@boosh10 Almost the same as you I'm sad to say. I've lost 3 pounds in 3 weeks and I'm at six weeks tomorrow. It's so frustrating. I do see changes and feel them. My clothes have changed I'm down one complete size (well the largest size was stretched to the limit pre-op) and even more than that in some clothes. My face is where it really shows. But the scales are glued in one spot. Oh I take that back they go up a pound and then down a pound. As I've been told over and over, stick with your plan it will come off eventually. Still hard though isn't it??

      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.
