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

None of us lose at a constant or steady rate and if you intend to lose a large amount of weight you will stall.

Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids (at least 64 oz) every day, take your Vitamins and supplements as directed, and exercise.

It sounds like you need to work on getting more Water.

Embrace the Stall!

Increase you Water to 64 ounces. Otherwise just continue to follow your program.

FYI -- Sleevers don't have pouches.

it's a term often used, I didn't mean literally a pouch, but if you look up the definition of a pouch, maybe then you would understand why a stomach is reference to a pouch ????

      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.
