So I'm officially 1 month post op today my pain is pretty much gone at this point.However for almost the past 2 weeks my weight has been bouncing back and forth between 279&281lbs I have seen alot of people say there is no such as a stall this early on so I'm just wondering what It could be and what I have to do to change it.I'm really good at drinking the 64oz of Water per day the only thing I struggle with is those nasty Protein Shakes they make me feel nauseous.I drink the premier ones they tasted so much better before surgery...but anywho any advice is appreciated.

You were lied to. The three weeks stall is infamous.

What can you do? Be patient. That's it.

Anyone who says that is a liar or a fool (or some combination of the two).

I'm one month today and have been seeing a VERY incremental loss over the past two weeks (<5lbs over 2 weeks), a lot of little up-and-down flutters. Annoying but not the end of the world - I'm not going to worry until my surgeon starts worrying.

Remember ,you have put your body through a lot. It is spending a lot of time trying to figure out what the hell you did to it. You will start to lose again. Give it time to sort out what is going on.

      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.
