It is possible but given how little most eat the first 6 months, I doubt that is the total answer. What have you been eating and drink instead?

We all go through stalls, you might want to ask your Nut or Dr if there is a way to change things up to get you going again. If you have fallen into some routines that you do each day, like exercise every day for 30 minutes on the bike and you eat the same things, maybe you could change it up and do a different exercise and eat well but different. Just a thought. Also make sure you are getting in your Water, Protein and limiting your carbs. If you have fallen into any bad habits then address those and fix it if you can. Your scale should move soon! Dont get discouraged.

I'm 6 momths and the scale hasn't budged in 3 weeks. I know what I've been doing though-crap food on the weekend. I need to just cut it out. Like a poster said-change up your routine-if u lift, go up a little more in weight. Have a good day. :)

My body is goofy, it does not like change. I changed up my exercise routine and stalled for 2 weeks. It drove me crazy!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
