I am right there with you! Sleeved December 22 and the last 8 days haven't lost an ounce. So frustrating!!

It's common to feel like you have control over your situation and that you are doing something wrong if you stall, but you genuinely have no control in this. Your body is going to do what it's going to do to heal itself and adapt to your new situation. You are just along for the ride!

I've stalked too. I haven't stressed about it because I trust the process. Just waiting. But, tried on a skirt yesterday that has never fit (bought right before surgery). It fit! Put on some pants, too big. So big in fact that they drug the ground. Pants being too big is a first. I've felt like I was only losing on top but finally the bottom is catching up!

Ditto on the 3 week stall! Like you, my pants fit loose which is a good thing I guess but yeah, a bit frustrating. Just think, we haven't been eating, so the weight has to come off eventually, right? If not, where is it going? lol

Being a high school teacher and a football coach I thought that I had a system that would work right through any potential of a stall. Work harder = better results. Well, I'm in the middle of 3 weeks post op and I have not lost anything the last 4 days. Even gained .2 during the stall. Added more Water and Protein (still in the liquid stage) and have been increasing walking times. There are probably a 1000+ posts talking about the 3 week stall and how it happens to 98% of us. SO.... here I am dealing with a stall. But the strangest thing happened this morning, pants that did not fit at the start of the week are now almost too loose!
Not losing weight during the stall, but losing inches.......just like what all the vets said.

If you have a refrigerator, I would suggest greek yogurt, cream Soups with Protein powder and cottage cheese. Everything else pretty much requires processing.

Soups or scrambled eggs if you have to order food anywhere. Cottage cheese, yogurt, etc. if you have a mini fridge in your room. And then just lots of Protein shakes!

While not as good as a powered blender, the Blender bottles with the wire balls in them do a decent job of mixing powders.< /p>

tuna salad, egg salad, chicken salad -- just chew them up really well. You should be able to get them at any deli near your hotel. Scrambled eggs, poached eggs, applesauce, any kind of Soup you can tolerate. In a pinch, mashed potatoes, oatmeal.
You just have to have a plan. You've got this!
