Ok, so today was day 16 post surgery and I feel great. No problems at all. My only concern is that I lost about 10 pounds in the first 7 days and have only lost 1 pound in the 9 days since. Did this happen to anyone else? I know about embracing the stall and everything, but this was quick! I'm getting my Protein.....could probably get a bit more Water in, and I feel great. Clothes do fit noticeably different, so definitely good there. Just need to trigger some weight loss. Lol

It happens to almost everyone. There are more posts about stalls here than anything else, so you should carry on, don't weigh every day, and get out and enjoy life. Good luck!

What is happening is normal. Everyone is different. See your NUT if you feel the need for a closer look at your diet. I alternate between inches then lbs. Back and forth.

I am having same issues. I am also 18 days out. (Had surgery on August 30th). I have been scared I'm "eating too much" at 700 ish calories a day. I think it's all just part of the process?!? I hope so, bc if not, I'm seriously questioning why I did this to myself. I read that the weight loss is more like stairs than a slope. That makes sense to me.

Yes it happens. I stalled 2 weeks out. My weight did not change for 2 weeks. After the stall broke the scale started to move at a consistent pace. It's just your body's way of adjusting to the surgery and everything it's been put through. It will move again just keep doing what you're doing. Make sure u get plenty of Water in and your hit your Protein goal everyday.

Yep. I'm in the same boat. I've heard of the "three week stall" before. I'm trying not to worry too much about it.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
