There are many things you can do. First get in contact with your doc or nut. Second start a food log. With this log add in any feelings or things you notice about why you are eating. Third if you are not working out start, and if you are mix up your workout. Next increase your Protein and amount of calories that you take in each day.

Those are all things that can help break a stall.

Finally take a really deep breath and relax. Stalls are natural and will happen. You must learn patience and persaverence! Also instead of looking at 80 lbs as negative - I've only lost 80lbs - turn it around. You have lost 80 lbs and that is something to celebrate!!! Enjoy your victories! Congrats on your weight loss!

Regardless of what your weight is doing - follow your plan. Stay positive, stay patient, stay focused on following the protocol as closely to the letter as you possibly can, and maintain a food log. There is no schedule for stalls and no way to accurately predict how long they will last. On the other hand, one thing is certain - as long as you are consuming fewer calories than your body is burning, sooner or later you will start losing again. There is no doubt. Science and the laws of the universe cannot be denied.

You're among friends here. There isn't a single one of us that can't understand your frustration. Just focus that energy on following your plan and you're gonna love the new you!!

This happened to me around the same timing. It just stopped coming off. The weight that is. Came to find out that I was not absorbing enough Protein. I had to spread it out further throughout the day. Once I did that the weight dropped quickly. Hope this helps with the other suggestions already made. I was getting my protein goal in, body just was bit absorbing it so I was wasting protein. Body can only handle so much at once and gets rid of the rest as waste.

      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.
