Stupid stall

Not quite 2 months out. Down 35lbs the first month. Been at the same weight for almost all of the following 3 weeks now. So frustrating. I hope this changes soon. It's very discouraging when I'm following my instructions to a T. I see my surgeon and nutritionist on the 9th. Hopefully the scale will move or they will have some advice for me!

Stalls are very frustrating. Just be patient and work through it. The stall will eventually break!

They stink but just try to remember that they break eventually and usually with a decent drop . Hang in there!

That's what I keep telling myself. My husband keeps telling me that even if the scale isn't seeing changes, he can clearly see (and feel) my body changing. So I am trying to be strong!

I went through the same thing! I kept complaining to my husband and I'm not losing weight, I'm not losing weight, why not? LOL! Then all of the sudden I dropped like 15 pounds. It will happen, be patient! I'm over a year out now and I'm at Michael way and I'm a happy camper. I've been able to maintain my weight very well. So keep on keeping on! Do what you're supposed to do and the weight will just melt away. I promise!

I don't know how to edit. That is supposed to say I am at my goal weight! Don't know where Michael came into this conversation! LOL!

Lost 18 lbs in 2 weeks after surgery then a total of 25 at month 1 and you guessed it- the BIG STALL. There are moments when I privately use my spicy words then I don’t get on the scale so I don’t worry as much. I’m now 7 weeks out and have lost 5 more lbs for a total of 28 lbs. Hang in there everyone. Let’s embrace the stall. Okay forget that advice. I’m putting my middle finger up at the stalls!

      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.
