I’ve hit the dreaded stall! 3.5 weeks out from surgery so it was kind of expected but still really annoying. I’d hoped to lose another 10 lbs by Christmas but I can’t see that happening now. Anyone else in the same boat?

I have finally pushed on through. I was stalled between week 2 and 3. it will be 4 weeks for me on Thursday and its coming off again. It is frustrating but it does happen and you will push through. Be strong, you've got this!

It is frustrating! My pain has finally gone so I feel much more like myself but it seems like the pain went and was replaced with a stall! Just trying to focus on my exercise plan for the new year now so I have something to think about instead of the scale. Did yours just last a week?

Unfortunately, no. I am looking at my app and it was from Dec. 5 to Dec. 14. So 10 days.

Ahh well. My wife finishes work for Christmas on Friday so at least I’ll have something to take my mind off it!

Yes, you can go for walks with your wife. Your 10 pounds will come off....just not always when we want it by. But at Christmas you will be better than you were 1 month ago and certainly better than last Christmas!

Mine has slowed to 2 lbs. but I am still losing. It had been 4 lbs. a week.I’ll take what I can get. I did discovered a new Breakfast for me tho, — Skippy Protein Peanut Butter AND LIGHT ENGLISH MUFFINS! A VERY WELCOME CHANGE!!

Always good when you find something that suits to eat! I’m still on puréed/soft food (and supposed to stay on this until week 8) but I have to admit, I’m not completely sticking to puréed foods-mainly because I can’t stand them!

Don't you love finding something new?? The different tastes are so welcoming. When I was able to have a few crackers I was in heaven! I find I eat the same thing for at least 5 days because it lasts so long. My head is still in the "make extra".

Grammie, did you find that after the stall you were consistently losing 4 pounds a week up until now at 2 pounds a week?

The 2 lbs. IS my stall. It hasn’t changed for 2 weeks. This may not be my stall, but I’m 6 weeks post op. I’m sure there will be more stalls according to all I’ve read so far. We just gotta keep keeping on!🤺

      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.
