I have stayed the same weight now for idk how long. It's getting old. I have tried my hardest to "embarrass the stall". I have been on a stall more then not! I'm even doing 48 hrs rest and nothing.... I'm afraid I lost all I'm going to lose. Has anyone stopped at 64 lbs?

I'm only 64 lbs down in 7 months. It's very disappointing to alter your body and still be fat!

It sounds like you are doing great.

Are you tracking your food?

What are you eating? Are you getting in all of your Protein and fluids?

Are you avoiding starches, added sugars , and fried foods?

Are you taking your Vitamins and supplements?

Are you exercising?

Have you talked to your NUT lately about your concerns?

Without more information it is hard to offer suggestions.

If you've lost 64 and you have 54 more to go, then you need to lose roughly the same about that I did. At 7 months, I wasn't down more than 64 pounds either. It's a slow process and while stalls are annoying, you do eventually get through them. I got stuck between 165-170 for almost two months, which was almost exactly where you are, around the 65-70 pounds lost range. I added an extra hour at the gym, I really paid attention to what I ate, and eventually I dropped to goal weight. It took 18 months to lose 108 pounds of which the last 4 pounds took almost 4 months. That works out to 6 pounds a month. The sleeve isn't a magic miracle working trick- it still takes time, work, and patience. Time passes no matter what you do, so a year from now you could be at goal or a year from now you could have given up on goal and still be fat. In the end, it's entirely up to you and your actions. You can do it! :)

      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.
