I was sleeved September 4th and @ 425lbs, I’m currently I’m at 330. I’ve experienced a few plateaus for like a week and then it falls off. I’ve been at 330 for about 3 weeks now. Any advice or is this normal? Any advice on how to get out of the plateau? Thanks in advance :)

I was told to increase Water and start moving more. I plateaued a little earlier than you. My surgery was 9/5 and I only lost 2.4 lbs all of October! I think my body thought I was dying and was trying to save me. Since November 1 I’ve been losing steadily again. My dietician said I was not eating enough in October. I was struggling with reflux etc so my metabolism was quitting on me. Just stick to it and try to hit those goals. It will vary but it will keep going down!

I am two weeks post op today. I havent hit a stall yet, but i am sure it is coming as i start puree foods today. I missed walking the last two days due to busy schedules and not getting home till 10 pm last night and 9pm the night before. I am going to try and make up for it today and tomorrow by doing 2 miles instead of 1.. and then maybe just do two miles a day going forward. I just want to make sure i am eating enough for that amount of walking. Up until now i was only taking in 350 calories a day, and burning off 200 just in the walk never mind the rest of the day.. Here is to the next phase.

      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.
