I expected the 3 week stall but it is still playing mind games on me.. I feel so weak and tired to the point my doctor gave me another week off from work.. So dealing with the stall, feeling weak and no work is kinda messing with me.

How are you doing in getting in all of your Protein and fluids? The sooner you can regularly hit those numbers the sooner you will feel better (based on my experience).

For the stall, there's not a lot you can do other than wait it out. For the fatigue, I found mine got much better once I was onto more solid foods and could get more calories in. What food stage are you in now?

@@bsanders - did you see your doctor or did he just give you another week off? I am asking because I had lost enough weight with pre-op diet and being post-op (around 3 weeks) that my BP was dropping really low and I was on meds for it. Check your BP and make sure you are staying hydrated. If your BP is low contact your doctor!

I lived for Shelly's Baked Ricotta during my puree phase. It was like eating real food! She also has several other good recipes on this page:

      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.
