So I'm in the middle of week 4 post op and I seem to have hit a stall for the past 4-5 days. My weight bounces around the same 2-3lbs which is a solid BM and some Water weight by my guessing. I'm not too worried as I keep reading stalls are part of this. I moved into purée and since then my loss has drastically slowed to this stall. Not sure if I should blame it on that or not.

But has anyone experience this this early?

I had a stall in week three. Gained and lost a handful of ounces over and over for a solid 7 days. I'm in week four now and my weight is moving down again. My stall coincided with starting soft Proteins, and I do believe that my body was just adjusting to the change. It is totally normal this early! You will get through it!

Oh yeah. Mine started at week three and lasted 11 or 12 days. Be sure and take your measurements, because as most people have mentioned, I kept losing "volume." Savor the moment every time you put on a shirt that used to be tight and now is not. At six weeks now, I am right on target for weight loss, and I am realizing it is OK to think in terms of months, not days. Hang in there.

I am at week 5 and have been stalled since week 4. Hopefully now that I am on regular food it will pick up.

      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.
