Yes...its very normal to stall. Search the dreaded 3 week stall and see for yourself. I was depressed when the scale stopped moving so early. But I had never heard of stalls. Keep reading...you're not alone. Sleeved May 15th SW 205 CW 174 IVE been at 174 for almost a week. I think my body is in starvation mode. I had a virus and haven't been able to eat hardly anything.

July 19, 201313 yr Hello all . my surgery was July 10th. I am so over protein shakes ( did a 2 week protein diet like I am sure most of us were). Since starting that 3 weeks ago i am down 23 lbs . My doc said she is fine with me proceeding to puree foods. Anyone know how mashed potatoes work for them if they are on puree yet? I only want a taste just to get something different from sweet protein shakes .

July 19, 201313 yr Noooo don't do carbs .. Mash some cauliflower up .. Yuck , cauliflower lol . I am hoping after all of this that my taste buds change and that I will like more things. I wish I wasn't so picky . I am trying to mainly focus on just staying hydrated .
July 19, 201313 yr cauliflower instead of potatoes? just because it is white? not a substitute at all, i would rather go hungry, or bang my head against a brick wall.

July 19, 201313 yr I had my surgery on 7/3 and the weight lost stopped! I'm trying to keep a positive attitude, but it's hard. I'm also tired of the sweet protein shakes. I'm mainly getting my protein from Isopure drinks. My doctor gave me the ik for puree, but I don't know what to eat either

I know why none of my diet and exercising throughout the years never worked . I always would lose quick then the # on the scale didn't decrease quick enough for me so I lost my willpower and patience . I'm trying now to change that mindset and quit relying so much on that # on the scale and take each day one at a time . It's hard but this site seems to offer a lot of support . If you need a shoulder , let me know . I'm a great listener and we are going through it together !
July 22, 201313 yr Author well i read something about not eating enough when i started pureed so i did that for past two days n finally lost another pound today when i woke up so I'm going to keep doing what im doing. Im eating three meals n one snack. mainly veggies mashed potatoes white fish and macaroni and crakers .... im down 20 pds pre surgery and 37 pds since post
July 22, 201313 yr Try refried beans with cheese, chicken salad, not potatoes! I am on to soft food tomorrow sleeved on the 8th....baked chicken, shrimp, cheese...stuff like that. I actually started the chicken salad a day early. A few hours won't matter and I feel soooo much better with a few tsps of food in me!
July 22, 201313 yr I am barely getting in a protein shake a day . I have no appetite . I'm looking forward to Friday when I can have soft food . I've never been so excited to eat a scrambled egg in my life lol
July 22, 201313 yr Hi I'm two weeks out Tommorow. My doctor okayed soft foods starting yesterday. Soft scrambled egg is good choice for me. I did try pintos and cheese it was ok for me no problems but I ate it slow and in several sittings I have had a few bites of mashed potatoe. That's about all the soft I've done, but in my opinion I know what to eat, but at this point I can't drink my protein shakes, I can't drink enough fluids, and if I have :2 bites of potatoe at least I'm getting a little something in my body. I can't hardly eat or drink anything as hard as I try to make myself.
