Use the search function and type in stall. Your concerns have already been addressed a few hundred times. Better yet, just go straight to the "Don't Sweat the Stall Stuff" subforum. That's where your post should go.

It's easy to be sad and frustrated...we all want our excess weight off and we want it to happen fast. Our bodies take the time it needs to do just that. Yes, it is very common to stall...just keep getting in your Protein, Water and Vitamins...if you follow the plan, it will come off. You will hit stalls, throughout the entire process. Chin up, all is good :)

This is completely normal. 99% of sleeve patients go through this exact same thing. Don't stress about it. Stick to your program, get your Protein in, get your Water in, take your Vitamins, and move around as much as possible and you WILL lose weight. I promise!

Stalls are like lovers. Your first will probably not be your last!

I needed the good laugh this caused..haha.

I am experiencing my first "stall" of a week, period related I'm hoping. I'm trying to be calm and not think about it.

@@janira - Am I understanding your post correctly that your period has lasted for 12 days? Is that normal for you? Have you talked to your ob/gyn?

Thanks for the replies everyone. I will go to the doctor on Monday and talk about my period. It has never been that long and maybe this has something to do with the stall??? I will see on Monday after I talk to the doc and see what he says...

And yes, I guess stalls are normal and I just have to get over it :/

      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.
