I have lost twenty-four pounds since having surgery on April 12th. I have hit a stall. (I am not discouraged. I will succeed with my weight loss. :) This is me cheering myself on! I need this some times!)

I had this surgery to be healthier for myself and my family. I will continue to eat healthy and keep my journals.

I plan on mixing my diet up this week and seeing if that helps. (I am having a hard time eating Breakfast due to time constraints at work. I have been drinking a Protein Shake and having coffee. What do you eat?)

Are any of you at a stall?

I was sleeved on 4/27. Friday is my 7 week anniversary. As of today I have lost 39 pounds since surgery. It would be amazing if I reached an even 40 by friday, but I won't hold my breath!

I am down 52lbs since my surgery April 4th, I find that removing all carbs and sugar from diet seems to produce the best results. Whenever I eat bread, rice,potatoes I tend to loose slower, usually to get over a stall I jump on a Liquid Protein diet for a day and it kick starts me right back up.

Excersing has definitely play a crucial part in my weight loss so be sure to get in the gym soon to help you achieve your goal.

Things to avoid all together

Alcoholic beverages, sugars as they cause huge eating binges atleast for me.

my breakfast when I have time is egg whites and a slice of deli ham mixed together. If not I do a coffee and Protein Shake same as you.

good luck

Hi J@Alabama, how long is your stall?

I had a gain and a stall at around 5 - 6 weeks, when I started eating solid foods, because all I could keep down was starchy foods like potato and banana. So I ate plenty of those, and I stalled ofcourse. When I brought my carbs under 50g, I started losing more steady again. If I don't see any loss in 3-4 days, I go a day fasting, or drink a Water pill and scale keeps moving.

I am nine weeks out and have been stalled for a little over a week. However the scales have moved today.

I am not overeating on the carb side. I actually think I wasn’t getting enough calories.

Thanks for all the input everyone!

      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.
