I spent a week camping and walking at least 2 miles a day. I got home excited to see how much I lost and actually gained. Really I gained weight. I am in my 4th month and know about the stall, but that doesn't make it any easier. How long will this last? Thanks for letting me vent.

Sandra, that sounds very frustrating! I didn't know it would slow down at 4 months like that. I'm sorry you are going through that, but thanks for the information. Keep up the hard work, though! You have a lot to be proud of already and as soon as you are past this slow-down, the weight loss should start again! You got this.

Pay attention to your body shape at times like these... I am stalled, but am definitely losing inches. Also remember, muscle weighs more than fat. You are gaining muscle, but that in turn will help you lose more fat and inches.

Sometimes exercise will cause a temporary gain from Fluid shifts.

      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.
