Hi everyone. I'm 52 days in and down 44 lbs. However, my weight loss has stalled for the last 10 days.

I've always consumed a fair amount of coffee, but admittedly I've had far more than usual over the last couple of weeks.

I always get my Water. Protein always 80g +. Cals 1100 - 1300.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I wouldn't think caffeine has anything to do with that since you are getting enough Water, and caffeine actually boosts metabolism and help you burn fat (lipolysis). I know stalls are annoying though. :(

@@spskcmo Stalls are normal. I don't think it has anything to do with drinking coffee unless you're adding lots of sugar and cream. You lost 44 lbs in 52 days - your body needs time to adjust. It's surprising that you are just experiencing your first stall.

I doubt coffee is causing your stall. I looked back to see where I was at 52 days and I also saw a stall. Stalls will come and go no matter how careful you are. Enjoy your coffee and know that things will start moving again.

Thanks folks -

I appreciate everyone's input and it looks like coffee isn't the contributor! I carefully reviewed my intake records and I'm not doing anything I didn't before. I guess this is just the first stall!

      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.
