Results like this make me wonder if it's even worth it. [emoji20]

I just don't get it. I'm six months out and have only lost 50 pounds. I'm averaging 8 pounds a month. I've been stalked pretty much for a month now. My results may not reflect it, but I don't cheat, I work out, I follow doctor's orders and I'm not getting the results I thought I would. I know there's the right side that at least I'm still losing, however it's incredibly discouraging when I'm not meeting my goals or my doc's goals and all she can say is stuff like you're not where you should be or I don't know why you're not losing

Sorry, rant over. Just feeling really discouraged and like a failure.

You may want to talk to your surgeon and your nutritionist. However 50 pounds in 6 months isn't bad. Sounds like you are just at a stall.

If you continue losing at this rate you will be at 100 lbs within 1 year. There is nothing bad about this.

Your calories may be too low. Talk to your team. At about 6 months I upped my calories to 1,000 from 800 and started losing again. But, you may also be building muscle with whatever exercise you are doing. Muscle weighs more than fat.

We've all been frustrated. Just stay the course. You're doing great.

I am also 6 months out and have been gaining and losing the same 1 or 2 lbs for 2 months, Just yesterday I went town 3 lbs for the first time. Unfortunately I think stalls are very normal at this point and we just have to expect and accept them. I do plan to see my NUT for advice on reaching goal, but I know in my case I should be eating fewer carbs.
