I started the purée stage this week and I haven’t lost not even a ounce of weight for 8 days. I’ve actually gone up .4 ounces. What am I doing wrong? I’m having 4 ounce meals 4 times daily and I’m drinking like 50 MLs of Water a day. I’m so losing hope... I’m stuck at the weight that I couldn’t seem to pass before I had the surgery as well. Help!!!! Did anyone else experience this as well?

Wait, what? You're only drinking 50 mls of Water a day? I would say 2000 ml is a conservative minimum. Maybe I misunderstood your post. I don't think you're necessarily doing anything wrong except you need more water. Just keep working the program and keep your eyes on the prize. Everyone goes through stalls, and I mean everyone!.

It's a stall, completely normal. There are about 1001 posts about it on here, in the past month alone.

I think you have a typo on the Water amount you are drinking because that certainly isnt enough. I drink a ton of water and liquids throughout the day and i noticed i need to weigh myself in the am after I pee because all the water I drink. Maybe try that. I would also check with surgeon office and see if you are eating enough. Are you getting your Protein in?

Just broke a 9-day stall that started just before purees kicked in. Yes I threw a hissy fit or two in that time...sooo not fair when you're eating micro portions, right?! But the week 3 stall is real and you will break it, hopefully tomorrow!

Don't worry, you're too soon into the post-op process now to worry about weight. Just focus on healing. The weight will come off. Get at least 64 oz of Water each day and 60 g of Protein and just follow the program.

Obvious typo is obvious typo. I get you! It's frustrating. I'm 2 weeks out tomorrow and have only lost 10 lbs. I know that's 10 lbs lost and all but I started at a high weight (295) so I was definitely thinking it'd be more the first 2 weeks. I am following the program exactly to the T and walking 1.5-2 miles a day. It's frustrating but how can we not lose weight at this amount of calories? It's bound to happen.. but I get you.

      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.
