I think I'm in a weight-loss stall. Lost a little' date=' .4 this week and last week too. Very frustrating as I'm so close to reaching the 60lbs milestone. Aaaasaargh!!! I've been working out a bit more than I was but it's pretty sporadic. The big problem is that I feel hungry now a lot more than I did a month ago. I want to eat and I am struggling with that urge. Sometimes it's definitely emotional but sometimes I just feel hungry, dammit!!! I having a hard time staying at 1200 calories and it keeps creeping up. I thought this surgery would make the constant hunger go away! Feeling frustrated and discouraged at the moment.

pre-surgery weight 325; surgery date 2/28/2013; surgery weight 307; 8 weeks past-op weight 281.4; 12 weeks post-op 274; 4 month post-op 266.2[/quote']

I'm in a similar funk. Have maintained, no loss, no gain for the last six weeks or so. Am under more work / personal stress and am struggling to find non-food ways to cope. Remind myself surgery is one tool, not a cure, still have to learn to deal with life without my old ways of finding comfort. Extremely grateful surgery has helped prevent a big gain, which may have happened pre-surgery. Need to get more sleep, remember to breathe, and force myself to exercise to help relieve stress. We'll both hang in there, Chelenka, and work towards better days, eh?!

I'm having the same issue....I keep losing and gaining the same 6lbs! I fell like I can eat more than I should be able to. I felt physical hunger the last few days.

Its been 4 months and I have only lost 26 pounds total, I was eating to many carbs and not working out, since I have been back from vacation I have started working out and no longer eating carbs to see if that will get rest of weight off. I need to lose 40 more pounds that's a lot for someone 5'3. need motivation, its hard to get protein and water in.

Well today is my 4 month mark I started at 347 no pre-surgery loss today I'm at 275 which makes it 72 lbs!!! I'm ecstatic about it I'm doing things I haven't done in years but I'm a little scared weight loss has slowed so much I even gained 3 lbs I kept telling myself maybe gaining muscle bug I doubt it...hope it's just a stall
