Just curious if anyone has had this issue. I'm post op 6 months now and only lost for the first 2 months. I didn't have very much I needed to lose but dont know why I haven't lost in months!! Im feeling discouraged and dont know if something is wrong. In those 2 months I only lost 22 pounds. Is or has anyone gone through this and what is your typical diet???

I am right there with you. I lost exactly back to ,y Lapband weight and am not budging. I am trying to increase my exercise. I put my scales away and go by clothes these days.

I'm 6 months out too...I've been stalled for months :( I thought I was the only one. I am so discouraged at this point. I've even tried going back to liquids for a bit. Still the same so I feel your pain !

Have you been exercising? I'll be 6 months out in a few days, and have had great results, but I attribute that to a rigorous workout schedule. Don't get discouraged, but try exercising more. It has to work!

Thank you all for replying! I'm going to speak with a nutritionist from my place of surgery and see what she says. I dont know if Im over eating or undereating. The question seems easy to ask myself but I dont know what is normal with eating!!

Does anyone eat just a small amount of something but in 30 min or so is hungry again??

What is your typical daily caloric intake? Do you exercise?

Maybe you need to change things up a bit to jump start your weightloss. I know that your body gets "comfortable" at a certain set point. Sometimes you need to confuse it to get things started again. Some of the vets are doing the 5:2 diet, but I believe that for sleevers more than a year out.

I was stalling more and more so I started the 5daypouchtest.com I was 204lbs for like 2 weeks then after my theist was over I went to 199lbs Onerdland. Yay

But it mostly cut my craving for Sliders like popcorn, cashews, and Protein from fast foods. I learned to eat better and not like I'm already in maintenance. I've been eating like that for a few months. Lol

Then afterwards I guess that diet put me into ketosis because I lost faster afterwards.

Even you can re examine what you eat look for slider foods and just go back to basics.

If your BMI is really a 27, you are definately at the point where your gonna have to work for it!!!!!! That is a dream BMI for most of us. I can understand your want to loose just a bit more though. I agree going back to basics, shakes and lean protien and increase workout schedule and intensity should help you. Everytime I start stalling even just a bit I do this and the scales start moving again.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
