What was your starting weight? How much more do you have to lose to reach your goal? How many calories are you eating a day? How many carbs? How much are you exercising? How much Water are you drinking?

I bet if you answered those questions you would be able to analyze your "stuckness" for yourself.

I have been stuck at the same weight for a few months and I know it's because I have not been eating low carb, taking in too many calories, and not exercising (I have been dealing with chemo, radiation, and surgery for cancer so I cut myself some slack). Even so, I have found that my clothes continue to get larger. Remarkable how they do that,,,,,

Analyze, adjust, go forward!

Spatters u ate so lucky to be able to eat at all having chemo an stuff. So glad to see u here.

I might suggest going back to basics of Proteins with little carbs. But first look at all the info u write down that spatters suggested. :)

Spatter3 is right. Take a closer look at what you are putting in your body....I have had the same situation and discovered I was taking in too many carbs. I cut them back and now am losing again.

Spoke with my dietician today. I actually haven't been eating enough calories according to her. I emailed he my MFP info and she wants me to up my calories for 2 weeks and see where things go. I have 20 lbs left to lose to be at my Dr. Goal and 30 for my personal goal. I am still super low carb 64-72 oz of Water a day and cut out any ETOH over a month ago. She also thinks some weight retention maybe stress related due to other things I have going on in my life. Thank goodness I finally decided to reach out to her.

Thanks for the help guys. Btw good luck to all of you an all of your battles.

      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.
