I'm at the 3 month stall too. It's been almost 4 weeks, so discouraging. I see my nutritionist next week I hope she can help.

My Dr at the Mayo clinic doesn't want me to do any liquid diet before. Kinda glad but I hear everyone else does it, but he must have a reason.. Yeah, I think our guidelines are the same/similar. We only have to do soft foods 2 days prior and magnesium citrate the day prior to...move things along and out. No major liquid diets. It's strange (not that I'm complaining!). Does MC Rochester do the whole Gatorade/Powerade (or diluted 100% fruit juice) thing for a week after? I found it quite strange. My nutritionist said I'm never going to want Gatorade again after that week, and I can imagine. Also, no red Gatorade/Powerade. Yes Gatorade for 1 week, they told me it's so the stitching inside heals quicker and that they have had a good success rate of not having to repair it.

I live in Iowa so I get treated at the one in Rochester MN they have great doctors. I have been going for 3 years now I have a team of 2 neurologist and 3 neurosurgeons, so the bariatric team works close with them.

I'm going through the Mayo Clinic as well, my surgery date is April 6 which is 2 days before my birthday. They are also doing a research study and following my case. My life is at risk from other medical problems so they are fast tracking me. I'm suppose to loose 20 more lbs before surgery. It's so hard due to my pain levels but I'm doing my best.
