My starting weight and loss is almost identical to yours. I'm 6'2" and a 64 year old feller. I'm down to 2 pounds from my goal and have been for 2 months. I still think I will exceed my goal. I have been exercising more and putting on muscle. Though the scale stays the same I am losing my belly.

My stalls were frequent. It's like my body was exhausted from losing and took a break for awhile and then started down again.

Keep doing the right thing. The odds are in your favor.

You might just need to be patient darlin'. Everyone's body has various set points. Yours might have hit one. How long since you last lost a pound or two? Look into lilmissdivas boot camp for your belly. Or just boost your carbs, Protein, calories in general and Water intake for two days then bump it back down to normal.

I hit a scale stall also in Dec. and my diet has been the same. I coincidently doubled my Water aerobics this month and the scale has not moved but the clothes are still getting bigger . Then for two days over Christmas I ate more calories and the scale just dropped 3 lb.'s. go figure. I do my best when I put the scale in the closet and weight every 3 months, somehow this month I left it in the bathroom and once I see it I can't help but get on that damn thing. Hang in there, we are both doing great.

      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.
