I'm stalled AGAIN. I hit 25 lbs down on July 29th' date=' and then gained a pound, stayed there for many days, and lost it again, so basically I haven't lost any weight since July 29th. And my surgery was just on July 11th. I am getting about 500-750 calories a day AND working out 4x a week. I am not getting all my Water in, but I should still be losing. This is so frusterating. No wonder I quit at so many diets before the surgery, hit a stall, and feel hopeless, then give up. Glad I can't give up now![/quote']

How's it going now? Hopefully you've been seeing progress since this last post! I'm almost 4 weeks out and have been in a stall for 8 or 9 days now...totally depressing. I'd love to hear how you're doing now!

I'm 3 weeks out, lost 25 lbs (including pre-op diet) and I'm stalled for over a week now. Has anyone else had a stall this early?

I lost 18 lbs in the first 10 days, then only 2 lbs in the next 10. QUITE a let down, to say the least.

Of course I loved the first weeks rate of loss, but now I feel stuck... and disappointed.

I already exercise an hour a day, I really can't eat much, and I have NO IDEA why the weight is not dropping fast (like it should be, according to math!).

I got on the scale this morning and again...nothing. I'm afraid it threw me over the edge a bit as it's been two weeks since I've seen any weight OR inches come off (I'm almost three weeks post op). So basically, nothing since the liquids only starvation week and it was only 5 lbs then. I've been a bit of a basket case all day. It's so frustrating and I feel like I'm going to fail at this too.

As you've already learned by now, it's to be expected - and it probably won't be the only stall you have.

My "3 week stall" kicked in at 3 weeks on the dot, and lasted the better part of 3 months. I think I was stalled 12 going on 13 weeks before anything budged.

I had been stalled at 3 weeks, drank a milkshake (!) to up my calories in case I was in starvation mode - it worked and I dropped 2 lbs. Just got back from vacation where it was impossible to eat healthy and was happy to have lost another .5 lbs instead of gaining. Stuck here for a couple of days, but that's fine - still adding new foods as my stomach heals (5 weeks out now), so I expect things to go a bit slower. I can't imagine not being able to lose weight when I'm taking in 500 calories a day - I think it's virtually impossible not to.

After 2 weeks, I broke my stall, and I've come down another 6 pounds in the last two weeks.

I am almost 1 month out, I lost 20 lbs in my first 2 weeks after surgery and have stalled ever since....actually gained a couple of pounds and I know I am not eating anything that should make me gain!! I still have severe pain on my left side, so I have't really started exercising yet, mainly working around the house as much as I can and thank goodness I am extra efficent at picking up things with my feet, b/c bending or even leaning in any way is not an option. The Dr said the pain should be gone or almost gone w/in a few weeks, so hopefully I can get moving once it calms down.

It's nice to see I'm not crazy. I'm 3 weeks out today and I've been stalled for about 5 days. I lost 16 pounds and then nada. I keep reading it'll pass so I'll jusy keep doing what I've been doing and wait.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
