I'm six months out and have only lost 50lbs. I'm so frustrated. I started at 230lbs and now bounce between 180-182. How can I get the weight to start coming off again?

Yowza!! 50 pounds down... that's awesome! That's about 72% towards your goal. You really can't be disappointed with those numbers, can you?

But if you are really frustrated with those last few pounds, go back to basics would be my suggestion. Still keeping a food journal? Getting all your protien and Water in? Maybe change up your exercising a bit.

But, I say you are doing great. Don't compare yourself with others, don't get discouraged, the stall will pick up again. Good luck

I'm 6 months out as well, and have only lost 42 lbs, but I have not given up, I keep pluggin' along doing what I'm supposed to do. I attribute my slow losing to being over 50. I get in my treadmill 4-5X a week, Protein and Water. I am strictly staying away from all white carbs. I know its frustrating, I feel your pain. Especially when others have lost soooo much. But, I keep reminding myself that I could have never lost this much without surgery. Slow is better than not at all. Has yours been slow, or completely stopped? I have only lost 2 lbs over the last 5 weeks.

Try Liquid Protein only for a week and jump start your system again.

50 pounds is a major accomplishment! Way to go! How many weeks have u gone without seeing the scale move? Are ur clothes fitting differently?

I exercise like crazy and am mindful about my cals. I hit stalls pretty often, but they usually break after the three week mark.

Keep plugging away and try not to compare urself to others. U really are doing great!

Thanks everyone, I have gotten a couple of good recommendations. I have been stalled for at least 6 weeks, so I think I will go back to the basic and see if I break it.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
