it could be that you are not eating enough calories - eating under the calories can cause the body to go in starvation mode and you lose nothing. Also - have you been working out? if you are working our and/or you are eating the correct amount of calories - then this sounds like an issue for your doc/nutritionist and don't be shy about asking lots of questions. Best of luck.

Hi Greg! Are you getting stuck when you eat solid foods? Are you having 2 shakes a day because you can't get food down? Sounds to me, first of all, like you're not getting enough protein- you need to ditch the Slim Fast and get yourself some Protein Drinks that are low carb. If you're having problems eating solid food, you need an un-fill. You should be getting most to all of your calories from solid foods, not drinks. One shake a day is OK if you're having it in place of Breakfast, but two a day isn't good.
