I was in the same boat and the only way I can break my stalls is by doing the bootcamp diet that's on this forum some where. It works for me every time

Thanks for the reminder about the boot camp. Congratulations on your awesome weight loss!

I started at 310 and am presently 297. I had surgery on 12/6. My nutritionist (who is also an MD) thinks it is because of the medication I take. I still hope to start losing soon.

I'm in a bit of a stall right now but I know it will break. Even just losing the 74lbs I have I feel amazing and know it will only get better!

My highest weight was 360. I lost 20+ lbs on the pre-surgery liquid diet. My surgery was on 1/10/13 and I am down 57 lbs total (including my pre surgery loss. It has been much slower the last couple of weeks but my NUT said that is perfectly normal because my body is recovering from the trauma of the surgery. It is a long process but it is worth it.

I started at 338 and am 4months postop down to 251thats a total of 87lbs down fingers crossed i reach my 100lbs loss as expected by my doctor by the sixth month, i think i dropped fairly quickly because i only had a 3day pre op liquid diet... So good luck everyone i remember my first excitment of being in the 200's trust me it would soon be a faded memory if u eat right and do a tad bit of walking you will soon be aproaching onderland i may be 51lbs aways but i never in a million years thot i would be here today... So lets keep moving everyone it wont be long gooooodluck!!!!!!!

I was 343 before surgery on 8-22-12. As of 2-22-13, 6 months post op, I'm 257. So a loss of 86 lbs. I'd hoped to lose 100 by now, but I'm very happy with 86! I'm hoping to stay on the right track so I can lose another big chunk by my one year surgiversary! I'd love to be in onderland by then.

I'm 5'7" and started at 358, surgery was march 19th and weighed in at 247 this morning. Loss has really slowed the last two months due to my lack of trying but am turning up the gym time, Protein and Water and hope to get things going again. Have gone from 3x shirts to xl and 38 in pants down to 16/18. Ultimate goal is to be a perfect size 12.

      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.
