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.

How much did you loose and how much do you have to loose ? the thinner you get the slower the weightloss

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!

      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.
