Hello all,

I am currently down 26 pounds and 4.5 weeks post op. I've been at a stall for about 2 weeks now and was wondering if anyone has ideas on how to get back in the "losing circle" (:

Yes....don't worry about it. Everyone gets the stall. I've had two since my surgery both lasting two weeks which means all together I had a month of not losing. I recommend you stay the course and let your body adjust to the large weight loss you have had already. Your body is just working its self out. Drink your fluids and get that Protein in and when you least expect it you will see some movement in the scale. If you are cleared for working out just walk a lil extra. I freaked out my first stall and now I just don't care cause I know it will move again and with as much as I work out there is no way I'm not going to see improvements! Good luck! You'll do great!

That might be part of my problem... definitely not getting all of my Protein in. I find shakes hard to keep down! Will work on doing that! Thank you for the kind words and Goodluck on your journey! (:

lol I haven't had a shake since my surgery. I hate how they taste. Try eggs and vegan burgers cause they are soft and full or Protein or make your own Protein Shakes if the store ones are gross. I did for awhile with soy chocolate milk a banana and unflavored Protein Shake mix. It was good but I honestly just got tired of them. I'm rooting for you!

      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.
