I've read a few dozen of these posts on here already, and I thought either the poster was cheating or they were just impatient with some Water weight issues.

Now it's happened to me, and I'm losing my drive. I've logged every single bite. I've averaged 816 calories per day throughout this stall, without a single day over 1000. I'm getting 80+g of Protein and all my Water. My NUT says at my current weight, I'd need 2300+ calories a day just to break even.

Over the last two weeks, I've gained two pounds. WTF! How is that even physically possible? I don't understand.

It makes no sense. It seems calorically impossible. It is frustrating. I don't understand either, but I do know the loss varies.. and stalls, and resurmes. Most importantly, it resumes.

Don't weigh often= not daily nor weekly. Gains happen. It's natural. You fluctuate from 500 to 700 to 1000 calories and back so your body has to readjust.

I came to realize I went from probably 3000-4000 calories on a good day on avg down to 300-500 at surgery my body kind of went into shock. You're learning to live this new life just as your body is learning to live with this new stomach.

Apparently, I just needed to log in and whine to a bunch of strangers. The scale started moving the next morning, and I'm back on track again!

      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.
