You need to eat more. Your body is in starvation mode and hanging on to whatever you are eating. And are you seriously asking if you should take diet pills? ?? Because you should know what the answer to that is.

Even if you don't have much of an appetite drink. Drink Water to fill you up. Your appetite will return. You sound like your in your first stall. Increase your water intake. Try walking just change things up.

Do not take diet pills........ This is part of the process, your body is adjusting in other ways. Perhaps sit back, take a deep breath, and remind yourself that this will take a little time. It will move again. Remember to drink a lot of Water to cleanse and hydrate your body. I know at this point it's difficult to eat a much of anything, but focus on getting your Protein in. Drink Protein Shakes to help with dropping more weight. :)

I'm confused. You take a few bites then can't eat anymore. What do you think the diet pills will do? I'm not trying to sound snotty (please don't take it that way) but usually diet pills are used for curbing appetite. Try increasing exercise and make sure you're getting in all your Protein and Water. It's just going to take time. Try not to get discouraged and please do not take diet pills!

stalls are normal! 22 pounds in 5 weeks is fantastic. Make sure you get your 65 grams of Protein and enough water... that's it! The weight will come off. Please NO DIET PILLS!!!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
