Omgoodness i am in the same boat. Same situation. My Water intake could be a bit more I must say, my Protein is good and so is exercise. Even trying to up my water... which is hard, I'm drinking about 1/2 to 3/4 gallon. Sometimes I feel like I cannot take it.

Call your dr! We were taught in class that if you have a stall then to relax and know it happens!

Then:

-track your food for every meal

-track your Water every day and get the full 64 Oz in

-track your Protein

-track your exercise

Make changes to any part of the above that are not where they should be.

Then I hear everyone say to increase your exercise with something new while still doing what you were doing before.

I started kick boxing and I also walk. If I hit a stall then I plan to run my stairs and do my PiYo DVD workout.

Same boat here. I have been between 159-161 for a month. I exercise 6x a week and do intervals etc. I'm thinking my Protein has been lacking a bit. I am going back to tracking with my fitness pal and getting my protein in before anything else. Stalls are no fun.

Many times that I was stuck in a stall I would up my calorie intake and would start to lose again. Sounds odd but works.

Stalls are a normal, necessary, and natural part of the process.

Make sure you are getting in all of your Protein and fluids.

Try shaking up your routine. Try a different kind of exercise. Vary your calories.

If you are still unhappy with your progress or even just impatient, why not make an appointment with your NUT?

Embrace the Stall!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
