I'm now 3 months out and I have been stalled again for 3 weeks. I've lost 42 pounds, but I'm feeling like I won't lose anymore weight. I'm meeting my Water goals, Protein, and exercise goals. I still keep thinking I should've gotten the RNY.

i hope I can lose another 30 pounds by my 6 month appointment in the next few months. I have pcos and I think that's the culprit. I feel lighter but no more weightless. Maybe I should go to therapy or something. Smh

I went through a period like this a couple months ago at almost the same interval and asked the exact same question (you can find the thread here if you search). Fortunately, it was just a stall, and the weight loss picked back up after I made a couple of small tweaks to my routine.

Granted I'm losing slower than I used to, but it's still going. Knock on wood and praise the Lord!

I hope your stall is short and you handle it (emotionally) well.

Thank you for your responses. I will keep the faith and press on. I'm also going to join my local support group.

Stalls happen.

Keep working the program, keep the faith. This is a long haul thing, and while it is not at all easy - it is so worth it!

Stalls are part of the process no matter what surgery you have, just stay the course and stick with your Protein and fluid goals and it will pass. It's the body's way of processing the weight loss.

I was stalled for almost 2 months at 10-12 months post op but I went down a clothing size during that time so just because the scale isn't moving, doesn't mean you are not losing weight, you could be losing inches which my surgeon said still counts as fat loss.

      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.
