I know I shouldn't complain but i'm having a difficult time losing any more weight. I am almost 6 months out and I have lost 109 lbs. I started at 414 lbs. and now weigh

305 lbs. The problem is I haven't lost any weight in almost 2 weeks, I get on the scale and it says I lost 2 lbs. and then 3 days later it says I gained 4 lbs. it's crazy and I was wondering if anyone has experienced this?? I eat the same things I have since the start of solid foods and I walk 1 1?2 miles a day 5 days a week. I would really like to get some suggestions on what I can do to lose again. ( on the plus side this is the first time I can remember losing weight during the holiday season.

are you sticking close to your program? If no, get back to it. If yes, then you're in a stall. Just give it time and it will break.

This looks like a lot of carbs. Maybe focus on getting in more Protein, which will in turn make you reduce your carb intake.

some people are carb sensitive (I'm not, but I know a lot of people are). If you are, you might want to cut back on some of your carbs - it might help (oatmeal, rice, popcorn, Kind bars, Larabars, fruit). A lot of people focus mainly on Proteins and non-starchy vegetables during the weight loss phase and then add more carbs in once they hit maintenance. Again, not everyone is carb sensitive, but if you are, it might help.

You just have to wait ...maybe increas your exercice to 1 hour a day. You have lost soooo much weight your body needs a stall now.you will eat right do workout and wait untill you restart losing weight.

Congrats on 109 down and getting through the holidays without gain.

I'm not the food police. You know what your plan is. All I can offer is log food in an app. Make sure you hit your calorie and macro goals for each day (carb, fat, sugars) Be consistent with your food and exercise plan.

Stalls are frustrating. The thread gives many examples of things to try to break stalls.

Update us when the scale starts moving 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.
