I'm in the same boat as you. 41lbs down and only lost one since the first of the year. But the good news is I am shrinking. I cleaned out mu closet today, and fit into a whole size smaller in pants. I try to remind myself that this is not a race, it's the rest of my life. But sometimes I want to throw that scale out the freakin window! I'll keep keeping on until the scale catches up with me.

Good luck!

Thank you for the feedback, just wasnt sure if this was normal or not. I have dropped 4 pants size's total but was really hoping to be a bit smaller by now. Glad to hear Im not alone.

Again thank you

shake up your routine a little. Shock your body! It probably has gotten used to what you've been doing so try something extremely new like liquids (lots!) and increased activity for a few days! All the best...

I know what you mean, I've lost 100 lbs in 7 months and for the past 2 months havent lost. I went back to the Dr and Im doing a strict calorie diet. But before this I did the 5 day pouch test. They say its a plateau, but hope i could break it cause it does get frustrating at times.

I'm feeling much the same way. I lost about 30 lbs and then the weight loss slowed and stopped. I talked to my primary care doctor and she tells me she's known several people who only lost 20-30 lbs. This completely upset me and left me feeling hopeless. I go in for another fill next week and I'm hoping this will get me back on track. I'd like to prove that doctor wrong. I've since changed doctors for many reasons including the way I felt after this discussion.

On a positive note - I'm doing a 5 mile marathon June 2nd to Celebrate my one-year bandiverssary! Wish me luck! :)

How many calories are you eating daily? You may need to either drop or add some calories to shake your body up a bit. Are you weighing your Protein? If not I would start. My doctor says 3 oz. Eat only that 3 oz of Protein and then low fat/cal veggies until full.

Are you exercising? I know it sounds harsh but I do at least an hour a day 7 days a week. You may need to shake up your exercise routine. Do different exercises or mix up your routine so you don't do the same exercise everyday.

To honk- do you count calories? And how many meals do you eat? Is three oz a number we should all follow?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
