Hi all,

So I've been down this road before and am just about at a loss for words!!! It's been 4 weeks since the scale moved and I'm not concentrating on that, I'm trying to focus on my body and losing inches but I don't seem to be moving in inches either!! I've upped my Protein and Water intake and have even been hitting the gym!!! In all honesty I feel like I'm done losing or even as ridiculous as it sounds I feel like my body has called it quits and my tool is no longer working :( I'm not discouraged by any means I am down 93 pounds in 6 months!! It's pretty amazing and I feel a ton better!! Highest weight: 266 current weight:173..I have hit my dr goal of 175 but would like to lose another 20lbs or so!! I just don't know what's going on with my insides!! Help!!!!

I've tried searching stall threads on here but I'm not very savvy on navigating this site lol

I have a couple questions first.

Are you logging your food?

How many calories are you getting in each day?

I am logging my food and just had my 6month follow up with the dietician and she said all seemed to be ok with what I was eating. I'm getting about 1200 calories a day and can't figure out what else is going on

You and I started out very close to the same weight. I was 256 starting out and 175 was my doctor goal weight. He said he expected me to lose more, but at 175 he felt like the surgery was a success. When I hit 6 months I started to stall quite a few times. Then out of no where my body would start losing again. I stuck with my program and began increasing my Protein intake. I am now 15 months post op and I weigh 132. The last 40 have been slow coming off, but they are gone. My loss in inches was slow coming off, but they are off. Stay strong and stick with your plan.

      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.
