Are you tracking your food/drink? Are you getting enough Protein? Have you increased carbs or calories from liquor or drinks (soda, juice, etc)? You have to look at what you are eating and drinking? Schedule an appointment with your nutritionist to see if there's something you can do to kick start the loss again! You've done great to lose 85+ lbs in a little more than 5 months. It's just time to shake this stall up.

Congrats on your joyful and successful journey so far.

From time to time our bodies need a breather to catch up with what our brains are telling them to do. After so many years of eating "x" amount of calories everyday, and now all of a sudden----WHOA!! Your body is just can't keep up with the change that your brain is swirling at it.

Keep with your regimen. Be patient. Your "sand is shifting". Have you noticed your clothes fitting a bit looser? Are you breathing a wee bit easier. There are many stages of WLS. You know that ;)

If you insist on being a worrier, call your bariatric team and make an appointment to brainstorm with your Nut. Perhaps some tweaking is in order.

You are doing a "Maaaavelous job, Daaaaling". :)

I had surgery in February of 2016. Started at 399 and I'm down to 314. I'm also at a stall and up a few pounds after vacation. Stalls are the worst, and regardless if it's a 2 day stall or a 2 month stall, it feels like it lasts forever. Take photos and measurements! I almost guarantee that your body is changing! We've got this :)

I had my surgery on February 2nd, and I am currently stuck in a stall as well. It has lasted about three weeks (Saturday will be four weeks since I've lost anything). I'm not that worried, yet. I am going to shake up the exercise routine and see if that helps at all. Good luck, and push forward. We can break it :)

      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.
