Have you been taking measurements? Sometimes you're losing fat and gaining muscle and you won't see that on the scale, mostly just in the way your clothes are fitting (as a pound of muscle is more dense and compact than a pound of fat).

Otherwise, make sure you're drinking your Water, eating healthy (maybe double check your diet and make sure you're not creeping up on carbs/fat?) and exercise.

When I hit my first stall I was told to make sure of 2 things: I was getting at least the required liquids and a I was getting at least the required Protein. I found I was not quite hitting either. I was 'close' & in the ballpark, but not quite. Once I adjusted the scale started moving again.

The first stall at 3 weeks out is completely normal and different than a stall at 11 months out.

You need to reevaluate what you're doing and then change it up. Your body has either gotten complacent, or there are certain behaviors sneaking back in that are causing you to stall.

If you're not tracking.and measuring portions, start.

If you're not excersising at least 4 or 5 days a week 30 minutes a day, start. If you are, change it up. Excerise smarter.

If you're not getting 64oz of Water, drink up!

Are you ALWAYS eating protien first to keep you full and satisfied? If not, start.

Have you let too much sugar or white carbs sneak into your diet? If so, stop it!

I'm the queen of stalls. I've had at least a half a dozen in almost a year. You either gotta change things up, or wait them out. I prefer to be proactive and change things up. Good luck!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
