This is normal and will happen many times!! Stalls are just part of the process. Some people increase the amount of Protein they have and that seems to move it. Otherwise, just keep doing the right thing (and stop weighing yourself!!) and you will get past the stall. Just make sure you are following all the basics. You'll do it! You will be fine

I am in same bind right now! I had a melt down this morning. Including the 2 week presurgical diet I am down 36 lbs (16 lbs after surgery) I am going onto week 3 post surgicial and gained 1 lb saturday and maintained today. It is so effin frustrating. Im following full liquids to a T and did 15,000 steps yesterday but no budge. I was losing steady before this. I want to lose at least 80 more lbs. And my hunger is coming back. Havent felt that till now!

You're okay. It is normal to stall at 2-3 weeks post op. I went up a pound. Just keep doing your program. You are doing amazing! The weight is coming off. I thought the hunger would disappear but it didn't. I eat when I'm hungry but only a few bites and I am satisfied. I eat a little less at my next meal and journal my intake to keep on track. You are doing really well.

Hi guys... it is absolutely normal to hit a couple of stalls along the way. Your body has been through a lot, is healing and will get to a point where it will catch up and pause. Dont be discouraged...this journey is real, the weight loss is real and you WILL be down 80 lbs before you know it (as long as you keep following your plan). I am just at 6 months and have hit a few stalls where zero weight came off for a few weeks...dont give up, just be patient.

do a search on "three week stall". It happens to almost everyone. There should be millions of threads on it in here...

      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.
