Monday I will be 7 weeks out. I started at 26lbs on 2/29 (surgery date). I have been at a stall since my last doc appt on 3/24....only losing like 3 lbs since. I have called my doc and they said we will talk at my next appt on 4/28. I am REALLY getting frustrated as we all know what we have sacrificed for this surgery. I am eating clean, working out 30 mins as directed by the doc and drinking Water. I don't know what I am doing wrong?? Any help would be great!! Please.....VERY upset!!

@@danica579 - are you weighing everything out? Mindless snacking??

Salt filled foods?

Have you measured yourself pre-WLS and compared to today? When some of us stall (like me) we lose inches vs pounds. That can go on for a couple of weeks.

If you are working out you may need to bump up your calories a bit and then really watch the carbs.

Only losing three pounds is not a stall.

Are you getting in all of your Protein and fluids?

Are you following your program?

Embrace the Stall!

one reason I change my ticker here at my official weigh in on Mondays is because my progress often feels slow to me, and it helps me to review and see that it *is* going down. Hang in there, your body is making major adjustments.

      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.
