I had my surgery in June of 2013. I have lost a total of 102 pounds. I started at 330 and am now at 228. For the past month I have been stuck at between 230 and 228. I am currently at 1300 calories. My doctor told me to go up to 1500 calories. I did that for about 2 weeks and it seems like that was the culprit. I recently put my calories back at 1300. It still does not seem to work. My weight is staying about the same. I still want to lose about 28 pounds to get down to 200 pounds. What should i do different? Any help would be appreciated.

I also walked on the treadmill for about two miles a day.

Since keeping your calories the same doesn't work, and bumping your calories up doesn't work, I would try lowering your calories. Maybe go down to 1100 or 1050 and see if that helps. You might also want to check out the Veterans' forum here and look for the thread on 5:2 intermittent fasting -- looks like a lot of people do well with that. Good luck!

Maybe you could try the "Pouch Test" that the bypass patients do. I heard of sleeves trying it when they reached a stall and it working. I don't know too much about it so try Googling it. Just an idea.

I would keep on with eating healthy and wait it out. I went 5 weeks recently with no weight loss, then lost 5 lbs, and now not losing again. I am ignoring it. This too shall pass.

      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.
