Well, I have been stalled for about a month. I had lost 25 pounds at one point and gained back 5 pounds. I am only eating about 600 calories a day. I am going to increase my Water intake.

Can you feasibly go back to basics? Protein then vegetables then complex carbs sparingly, min of 80 g Protein since you are a lifting male, 90 oz fluids (doesnt have to be just Water )

Cut out ALL OTHER FOODS that might slow down progress

You may need more cals, but the right kind, boost your calories and Protein with Protein Shakes

Sorry TMI but how are your bowel movements, if not super regular, weight loss will stall I know for a fact

Get ahold of your team or NUT and make a plan, very important to let them know you have concerns, bug them and don't feel bad about it at all, you pay good money for their medical attention.

Also I was stalled for a month during the second month, it happens

Yes I will go back to basics. I really need to make this work. I didnt have most of my stomach removed to lose a lousy 20 pounds!
Its only the second month, give it a little time some strong effort, you'll do amazing (Men always lose a lot more than women but who's counting lol)

I’ve been in a plateau for months now. My dr said I needed to exercise more and be very strict, all of which I’ve done and I’m still stalled. But I’m happier and healthier, so I’m gonna keep on keeping on and hope for the best!

I'm at 4 months post op and I've lost 70, but I had a much higher BMI than you did. Still, though, I hadn't lost 50 pounds by 2 months out. That's a lot. I think that you're doing GREAT! You weigh 241 at 6 feet tall?! That's not too shabby. The pounds are coming off, and will keep coming off!

I have lost 22 lbs and I am 7 weeks post op tomorrow. My weight at surgery was 213 lbs and I am 5'5. I feel as if the weight loss is going so slow now but I keep my hopes up because I have read many people from here eventually lose slowly but steadily and reach their goal weight. Dont lose hope cause I haven't! :)

what is your daily calorie intake? drinking 64 oz of liquid a day really helps. my wl kicked into gear when I started drinking more. whether its warm or cold mix that 64 oz at the start of the day and track it. weight training will cause muscle to build which weighs more but in the long run will cause better metabolism to burn the cals. are you male or female?

      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.
