I don't know. You didn't provide any context or details.

What was your starting weight?

Current weight?

What is your goal weight?

What does your food look like?

Are you tracking your food?

Are you getting in all of your Protein?

Are you getting at least 64 oz of Fluid every day?

Are you taking your Vitamins and supplements as directed?

Are you avoiding starches, added sugars (especially high fructose corn syrup), and fried foods?

Are you exercising?

Have you talked to your NUT about your concerns?

You may or may not be at your max loss, but you may well be in maintenance (how long is a "long while" in which you have not lost anything?) The only real way to continue losing is to increase your caloric deficit which usually means reducing your intake (since exercise doesn't seem to do much for our weight loss unless one is excessively serious about it - like marathon/tri training level of effort.)

My starting weight was 330. Current wt 250. My goal was 175. Probably not drinking enough. New job gets me walking appx. 7 miles a day walking. I don't track my food. Can tolerate anything to eat , but still smaller portions. Taking my Vitamins.

My guess is that if you increase your water/fluid to at least 64 oz and start tracking your food to make sure you are getting in enough Protein you may start losing again. What is your protein target? How do you know whether or not you are reaching it if you don't track your food?

I'm coming up on 1.5 years out and while it has slowed down, I am still losing, but I'm also still tracking every single bite of food and drink. I won't ever stop doing that because that seems like an easy way to stop being accountable. It's too easy to overeat, get too many calories or not enough Protein if you're not actually paying attention.

I also will eat low carb for the rest of my life because I know adding back in too many carbs makes me stall out and even gain weight. So another thing to really pay attention to is how many carbs you are eating daily since that's a surefire way to stall out weight loss.

Definitely suggest you track your food/drink, get your Protein and Water goals and keep your calories about 500 below the amount you burn, and you'll likely start seeing your weight loss start up again.

      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.
