you're just in a stall. They're very common. Most people experience several stalls while losing weight. Just keep following your eating plan and your weight loss will start again soon.

as for Hair loss, that is very common, too. It will last a few months, and then it'll grow back.

Catwoman7...Thank you for making me relax. Your profile looks so good about your weight loss journey and I will keep your words with me about stalls. I wish this first stall of mind get over soon. Thank you for replying.

Would you like to give me advise about snacks...what you are eating if you are hungry in b/w your meals? As I dont want to eat anything non appropriate Snacks. Thank you in advance.

Livinglife...6KG in 1 month is good...but surly its worried why you are not loosing? as first 6 months called " Honeymoon period" and you are loosing super fast. I am sure you are on your Protein and bariatic diet. And 1.5 ltr Water a day MUST. No Constipation and Walking 20 min atleast. Good luck !!!

my Snacks are usually something like a Protein Shake or a Dannon Light & Fit Greek yogurt. Occasionally I'll have some baby carrots with about 1/4 C hummus (raw vegetables can be hard on my stomach, even two years out, but because they can be irritating, it stops me from eating too much. Hey - whatever works!). At night I'll sometimes have a couple of sugar free popsicles. Like raw vegetables, the sugar alcohols in sugar free popsicles bother my stomach, so all I can handle is two of them. I also eat Light & Fit yogurt occasionally at night, too, especially if I'm craving ice cream. The creaminess/sweetness/dairy aspect of the yogurt hit the same spot as ice cream would. I also drink *a lot* of Fluid (usually Crystal Light) - which helps sometimes, but I know sometimes you just have to have real food...

Catwoman7..this is such a valuable tips. I Thank you for this. Basically I am not at all sugar like person. I don't like sweet stuff...( I know its unusual :) most of the time I craving for a bit spicy and tangy food. that's it. but I can understand that heaving a yogurt in Snacks is like you are increasing your Protein intake. For me I can eat hard veggie easily. So I guess hummus and veggie is a great idea. Thank you :)

I lost about 6kg in the week after surgery and nothing since then. It's been one month since I had surgery.

Do not worry. I lost about 12 or 13 lbs in the 1st 9 days after surgery, then stayed the same (up and down a pound or two) for almost 3 weeks. I get required Protein in every day, not always enough Water though. Today, I am about 10 weeks out from surgery (sleeved on 3/31) and got on the scale this morning and was 199.8 [emoji4]

I am definitely a slower loser than most, but on surgery day was 227 so averaging about 2-3 lbs. a week. Depending on where you started and your exercise and meal plan is why so many people vary. Some surgeons give patients a couple weeks of liquids, I went home from the hospital on soft foods. Follow your plan and you will lose.

Did you consult your doc? Any advise from them? And I guess you must have had a enough lost during your band period !!!! I guess MGB is slow but effective. And I truly believe now that my body is on stall. Means need to change a diet and my routine. Good luck to you.

Yes went yesterday. He said not to worry that loss if much slower after a revision, to just give it time. And that I also have my height, weight and age and slow metabolism to take in consideration. He said to be patient and just keep doing what I'm doing.

      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.
