Have you been taking measurements? Sometimes you're losing fat and gaining muscle and you won't see that on the scale, mostly just in the way your clothes are fitting (as a pound of muscle is more dense and compact than a pound of fat).

Otherwise, make sure you're drinking your Water, eating healthy (maybe double check your diet and make sure you're not creeping up on carbs/fat?) and exercise.

When I hit my first stall I was told to make sure of 2 things: I was getting at least the required liquids and a I was getting at least the required Protein. I found I was not quite hitting either. I was 'close' & in the ballpark, but not quite. Once I adjusted the scale started moving again.

The first stall at 3 weeks out is completely normal and different than a stall at 11 months out.

You need to reevaluate what you're doing and then change it up. Your body has either gotten complacent, or there are certain behaviors sneaking back in that are causing you to stall.

If you're not tracking.and measuring portions, start.

If you're not excersising at least 4 or 5 days a week 30 minutes a day, start. If you are, change it up. Excerise smarter.

If you're not getting 64oz of Water, drink up!

Are you ALWAYS eating protien first to keep you full and satisfied? If not, start.

Have you let too much sugar or white carbs sneak into your diet? If so, stop it!

I'm the queen of stalls. I've had at least a half a dozen in almost a year. You either gotta change things up, or wait them out. I prefer to be proactive and change things up. Good luck!

      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.
