What can I do to start the scales moving again? I have not really lost any numbers on the scale in a week & I have been walking two times a day????. Ready for them to start moving again, I have about another 40-50 lbs to get rid of.

stay the course, hydrate, monitor your intake as far as calories and carbs and make sure you maintain your correct level of protein....I am right there with you.........................darn scale :(

I am in "the stall" right now, as well. I'm not worried about it in the least because my body has always been rebellious to the process. Why would I expect anything less now? LOL! Just continue doing what you are supposed to do. Follow your doctor's plan. There is no way I am not losing weight only eating 1/2 cup at a time...roughly 600-650 calories a day (on a good day) and walking. It's the same for you. Look for other ways to monitor your progress (like inches lost or clothes fitting better) and be patient. It doesn't have a choice but to come off eventually. I am at 3.5 weeks post op. Be encouraged. :)

      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.
