I was stalled all of month 6...not one stinkin pound. I stayed on plan and joined a gym. Finally the scale started moving again. It's discouraging, but eventually they break and the weight continues to come off.

The frustration of a stall is very real. The best bet thing to do is to just review your habits. Try a food tracking app if you don't already. review the Water you are getting in, the sleep (sleep is really important). Get away from any of the foods we tend to let slip back in, the miscellaneous breads and grains - nutritionally they do almont nothing and provide no nutrients or Fiber that cannot be gained somewhere else.

People love to hear a calorie is a calorie, there for a pund is a pound. This is so very untrue. Just as anyone who has ever noticed the gas mileage in a car drop as it goes along, can relate to a calorie in vs. calorie out just is not how this works.

search the topics already in here, there are several with many good ideas. You will break your stall.

You are probably losing inches anyway, btw!!!

I feel I am in the same boat. Overlooking my diet. I just stopped eating. I know now were supposed to eat 6 times a day small. I still am not eating as well plus the Water intake and my Vitamin intake isn't consistent. I'm not sure if you have same issues???? I still have no energy. So tomorrow I am starting to log... it may help :) I think I'm just scared to eat it makes me uncomfortable still.....

I hear you. I'm not eating 6 small meals. More like 3 or 4. But I make sure to drink 1-2 Protein Shakes a day & take my Vitamins.

When I eat I get horrible reflux. It makes me not want to eat.

And like you, I have little energy or tire easily. It's hard for me to walk because I have a bad knee & neck, but I am doing arm toning with light weights.

Hi. Here's an update. I saw my Dr weeks ago & we discussed my stall. She said, get this, I WASN'T EATING ENOUGH. First time in my life I heard that. Anyway I did what she said and now I'm loosing regularly. I'm down 47 lbs since May. Went from size 20 to a 14. Dr said eat 6 times a day. The day I started that I started loosing. She also said no more shakes. Make your stomach work to digest the food, it's a muscle and it has to move. I have no problem getting my Protein with regular food and eat every 3 hrs.

      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.
