It happens and is your body making adjustments. Stick to the plan and it will move soon enough..

I am 3 1/2 weeks out and I have chosen not to weigh myself until possibly next week. I don't want to know if I have the "stall" so I'm not going there yet because I don't want to feel discouraged!

Good luck

At week 4 I hit a stall that lasted 3 weeks! It really was frustrating at first, until I read all the posts about this being perfectly normal. This past week it finally broke at I lost 6 lbs since I last weighed myself (every Friday morning I get on the scale).

The bottom line is that this is a life long journey. Worry about establishing lifetime habits. My biggest challenge is slowing down while I am eating...I still want to wolf food down.

I tried to keep the average weight loss in my mind during the stall. Even when I was at 4 lbs per week average (it was 8 lbs per week before the stall) that is still awesome and my ultimate weight goal was still going to happen this year!

Yes, you guys are probably in a stall. It happens. Expect it to happen again. And possibly even again. Don't get discouraged! I am the queen of stalls, and I'm 9 pounds from goal. Just becuase you stall, doesn't mean you're finished losing weight. Stay with your program, and the scale will move again. Just takes a little patience ;)

Stalls happen! Then they break. Then they happen again and break again. Keep doing what your plans says to do and be patient! Your patience will be rewarded... Until you hit the next stall. ????

      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.
