I was sleeved 1/9 and have been stalled at 241 for two weeks now. I feel like I only drop the weeks I can't eat. It really does mess with your head. It's normal to weigh more at the end of the day as well. I also know the more Water I drink and pee the more I lose.

Are you getting in your Protein goal? Mine is 75-90g per day. If you do not make your protein goal, you will stall. Doesn't sound like you are eating enough, especially with that level of exercise. Your body won't give up the weight if you are not feeding it enough to function. At 3 months I was told I should be getting at least 600 - 800 calories daily. At 5 months post-op I'm getting around 1000 - 1200 (higher range on workout days). I've not experienced any stalls so far. I eat all real foods now, no Protein Shakes, bars, etc.

      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.
