Anyone other October surgery individuals still in their dreaded stall? Mine has lasted 3.5 weeks! Doing everything I'm supposed to be. I might be snacking too late at night, but I'm still around 900-1100 calories. Very, very low sugar and/or carbs. Mostly in the forms of soft veggies, and a little coffee creamer. Anyone else's stall taking forever to pack it's luggage and leave town?!?!

My stall hit at around 2.5 weeks and lasted around 12 days. Then boom 10 pounds gone over a week. I've slowed again now and understand it's just going to be a process. I'm not getting frustrated since I know I'm losing lots of inches, my clothes are all baggy and people have started noticing in my face especially. It's just going to take time and sticking to the new way of eating.

My doctor has me on about 600-700 calories for now. 80g Protein, 50g carbs (usually don't come close on carbs), and 50g fat along with my 64 oz Fluid each day. I'm still working on getting in everything I need to in a day.

Surgery on Monday (the 31st)! I'm super nervous now that it's getting close. I have to keep reminding myself that this is going to be good, even if it sucks at first. Any surgery buddies also going in on the 31st?

I'm on the 31st as well. Can't wait for this pre-op diet to be over!
