None of us lose at a constant or steady rate. Everyone experiences periodic stalls and slow downs and just about everyone experiences a stall about three weeks after surgery.

Just follow your program.

Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids.

Take your Vitamins and supplements as directed.

Avoid starches, added sugars (especially high fructose corn syrup), and fried foods.

Exercise when cleared.

Stay off the scale.

And, Embrace the Stall!

You've lost over 30 lbs in just a little over a month and you feel like you are in a rut? What were you expecting, exactly? That's WAY more than I lost in my first month and my surgeon was super pleased with my results and told me I was doing much better than average.

I'm not sure what I was expecting I mean not like 60lbs but I guess just frustrated that the scale isn't moving I know I'm losing inches I just never documented the inches maybe that's why

      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.
