I had my surgery on July 9 . Since my surgery I have lost 25 pounds. Now I am stuck stuck stuck!!! I have been 218 pounds for the past week. I do everything right. I drink lots and lots of Water I sip all day long.

So for example

Breakfast around 8 AM I will have a scrambled egg white.

For snack I will have a 4 ounce Protein Shake with 2 ounces of water and 2 ounces of skim milk

For lunch I might have a quarter cup of sweet potatoes or a quarter cup of tuna made with a teaspoon of light Mayonnaise and a teaspoon of fat-free Italian dressing.

For snack again I will have a 4 ounce Protein shake again with the water and milk

And for dinner I might have a quarter cup of puréed chicken Soup with vegetables in it. Or the tuna again.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Why am I stuck?

25 pounds in 20 days and actually only 23 days if scale hasn't moved in the last week? That is a lot if weight! Your body is trying to catch up and you are in the dreaded 3 week stall. Tons of posts about the science behind it. It will move again but meanwhile you are nearly ahead of me and I am 8 weeks out tomorrow. Be patient. It's a marathon not a sprint.

Hi ivarae, I am new to this forum and looking for some support. I got served exactly a month ago and my weight has stalled like almost two weeks now. I read that your weight got stuck at that stage too. What happened after that? What did you do to get off the stuck weight? I hope I get some reply. Thanks

      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.
