If you have Facebook, check out Dr Duc Vuong, the Support Surgeon. He has great videos and support. He recommends drinking a green smoothie for breakfast, green leafy salad for lunch with Protein. It worked for me. He has a few books as well. Good luck.

Darlenest :Go back and look at any packaging for carb and sugar content.I looked up Quaker Oats Maple and Brown sugar the carbs was 32g and sugar was 12grams.Now granted I don't know if this is the ones you eat.But that's pretty high then I wasn't sure if your lunch had any Pasta mixed with the zucchini or not.Anyway what I'm saying just for a couple of days keep up with your carbs and sugar intake to see if it's over your doctors recommended amount.Thats the only thing I can think of that might help.Hope it does in some way.Have a blessed day!

You say you are on plan but don't say exactly what and how much you are eating and drinking. Post the grams of Protein, carbs, calories and ounces of liquid. Are you tracking daily?

Hello, I also reached a stall during my journey. Even though I am still early on my doctor advised me not to rely solely on the scale. He informed me that with his past patients most people who reach a stall are losing measurement in their body instead of body mass. I measure myself regularly and this has been what has happened to me. Maybe it has also happened to you. Hope it helps

Thanks you both very much for responding. I need something to happen soon. This is killing me not seeing anything happening on the scale. Ugh. I'll let you know if I see anything good happen over the next couple of weeks. Thanks again [emoji4]

I'm sorry no one has responded to this. I'd love to know the answer too. My doctor did recommend for a stall to start over again, go back to the liquids for a couple of weeks and it should jump start your body. I hope that helps.

That's a long stall, and I'd be horribly frustrated, too.

So, I lost, on average, six pounds a month. But my longest stall was nine weeks. I'd say going back full liquids might be good, but if that's too challenging, try two Protein smoothies or shakes (not too high in calories), high protein Snacks like cheese, raw nuts and hard boiled eggs, and a lean protein and veg meal for ten days to two weeks. Stay off the carbs, coffee and sugar for that time. Don't graze. It's our downfall.

That should shock your body into giving up the first few pounds, and hopefully, more will follow once you go back to protein and solid eating afterward.

Best, and stalls happen. They suck, but keep pushing forward.

I had my surgery 11/8/16. By April, 2017 I was already down 55 lbs. Since then, the scale hasn't gone down anymore. It has gone up and down within 4 lbs. and that's it. I am beyond frustrated. I eat super healthy and drink plenty of fluids. I know I could definitely use more time at the gym, but I wouldn't think to where it would cause this much of a stall. Has anybody else hit a stall that has lasted this long in the beginning of their weight loss journey? Any input is greatly appreciated. I really need some positive words to help me along.
Thanks everyone!

My surgery date is 11/8. One week from today.....woohoo.

Ok so I had my Gastric sleeve yesterday morning with a couple complications... I had a hernia repair and a small spleen bleed. But all went well and other than some gas pain in my shoulder area early this morning I have been relatively pain free. Going home first thing in the morning, feeling very well and ready for what's to come. Anxious to get healthy and thanking God for the good outcome.

Most ppl post things on here because they want to talk about it funky munky and idk what ur talking about ripping my stomach open I just got my surgery Today btw no issues. Furthermore to each individual who had something negative to post I will not entertain u we are not clones and I do believe we are all made differently. And we all post on here to make ourselves or other feel better and possibly relate. TBH I didn't recall asking how you felt if y'all were so perfect at following the plan from the beginning wouldn't any one of us be on here. With that being said Thank you all for your posts and my doc did tell me liver was nice and small and had a successful sleeve Thank you
