Hey everyone, I am 9 weeks post opp today and I am wondering if I have just hit a stall. Has anyone hit a stall around this time frame? How long did it last? Any typical stall time frames? I did experience the 3 week post opp stall so I'm guessing there is a "stall trend". Thanks in advance!

@@Nikki Monroe - I think your body adjusts (stalls) when it is ready~ regardless of what week it is post-op. That's my opinion. I think as you lose weight your body has to adjust (stall/plateau/etc).

Stay on track: Water, Protein, watch sugars/carbs/calories and keep moving.

Stay off the scale for a few days. Measure yourself, try on old clothes, etc. Inches are just as fabulous to lose as pounds!!!

Breathe - and embrace the stall~

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the weight loss process. Other than a stall at about three weeks post-op, I am not aware of a particular pattern that applies to everyone.

Embrace the Stall!

I've been stalled for weeks but people keep telling me I'm looking fantastic so things are shifting around or something. Need to buckle down and get that walking in to see the scale start moving again.

My friend forced me to take photos and measurements. I am now glad so when I hit a stall then I will take photos and new measurements. But boy oh boy was it hard to take the first photos... Looking at the photos was like looking at a stranger! Did anyone else feel that way?

      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.
