I've been in a stall for 3 weeks now. I'm 5 weeks post op. I've decided to become more diligent in logging my Protein. Maybe I'm not getting enough in. I hope this helps with the numbers going down. Can anyone give me some advice. I'm losing patience.

Patience is exactly what you need.

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing weight. If you plan to lose a significant amount of weight, you will experience periodic stalls.

Advice?

Just follow your program.

Track your food.

Make sure you are getting at least 64 oz of Fluid.

Get in all of your Protein. For me that is at least 100 grams a day.

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

Practice eating mindfully. Eat slowly, take small bites, and chew thoroughly.

Take your Vitamins and supplements as directed.

Exercise when cleared.

And, Embrace the Stall

Trying around 80g Protein. Mostly eating meat. Just started Isopure Protein drinks yesterday. And no, probably not getting enough fluids. Which are difficult because I work in a Laboratory, you can't have food or Water near your work area.

That may be part of the issue BUT stalling is perfectly normal. Stay strong!

      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.
