It is hard to come to a stall, but it happens. Give your body a chance to catch up and you'll start up again. Stick to the basics, make sure you're getting all your Water and Protein in, and follow the plan. The scale will start moving. If not, talk to your nut about increasing/decreasing calories to stimulate the loss again. Great progress!!

Good luck!

You're not a loser. You are almost halfway to goal and you'll get there sooner or later. Focus on the journey rather than the destination. How much better do you feel now? How much better is your mobility? Are you off some of your meds? You must be in smaller clothes as well. Focus on the positive. Good luck!!

Have you read Alex's article: Plateau? Get Over It!?

How compliant to the guidelines are you?

Here is another good article about stalls: http://www.dsfacts.com/weight-loss-stall-or-plateau.html#.U1ATyPldWlY

You are a "loser"! You've lost 48 lbs!!! Getting down on yourself doesn't help with weight loss. Celebrate each and every day!!

We who have suffered from obesity for so long are often so cruel to ourselves. We would never tell someone we love and respect that they are a loser, so why do we tell ourselves that???

Mississippi Queen, you will get to ONEderland. It IS your CHOICE. It is in YOUR POWER. Go gal . . .

      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.
