I suppose stall is the wrong word, cause the moment my period stops the scales move again. I'm not super stressed about it just wanted to check if this happen to other ladies.

I had 3-4 months where I had my period every 2 weeks. It was driving me crazy because it was stalling my weight loss, but I had to learn to just accept that my body is going through massive changes and trying to adjust. i eat right every day, so there is no way I am not going to lose weight.

I generally gain weight on my period, then lose it after. My dietician told me its completely normal to gain up to 5lbs during that time of the month. Also I was told that a stall would be occurring around four weeks postop due to the way the body reacts to our new eating habits after surgery. That was told to me by the nutritionist at the bariatric surgeons office, and its true because I just hit a stall. But good news at the 8 weeks post op mark I'm told weight loss will definitely pick up again. Hope this helps. Oh and awesome job with losing 40lbs that's incredible.

I don't think it's a complete stall. Do you think maybe you just retained Fluid and Water because of your period? Do you drop a few after its gone?

I tend to gain when I ovulate then the scales don't move until it arrives and then I'll drop 3-5kg. Not every time but on many occasions. I do have pcos though. Often the gain is my cue it's coming seeing as it's not always that regular.

      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.
