87 pounds down in 6 months is great! your body needs some time to catch up and tighten, iam almost 6 months out and only 70 pounds down! Just keep drinking your Water and eating Proteins and try working out more often and your weight will start going down again. Or maybe try cutting down your calorie intake for one day maybe that will make the scale move again. Dont worry i once was in a stall for a whole month and now am on another stall.. Good luck!!

I'm am almost exactly 6 months out, I was sleeved Oct 16th 2012. I got stuck about a month ago, I upped work out and intensity and I cut back my food intake a bit and started paying super close attention to my intake again. It started back up, however what I have noticed is that I'll lose 5-7 pounds and then sit at that weight for a week to 10 day nd then ill drop a bunch another 5 pounds. So it's still coming off, it's just a bit diff now, I'm ok with it as long as it keeps coming off. Good luck and don't give up.

We where sleeved almost the same day and have lost a very similar amount of weight. I would say that very encouraging, at least to me. I the last month has been stressful as my body is changing the way it's losing weight, but we gotta just roll with it. It's always nice to know that there's someone experiencing the same thing.

Just be patient, you will have a slow and steady weight loss. Just dont stress over it, the scale will eventually move. It will all be ok! (I have had to tell myself the same thing over and over hahaha) But really, just keep doing what you should be doing and the scale will respond when your body is ready.

      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.
