There are many things you can do. First get in contact with your doc or nut. Second start a food log. With this log add in any feelings or things you notice about why you are eating. Third if you are not working out start, and if you are mix up your workout. Next increase your Protein and amount of calories that you take in each day.

Those are all things that can help break a stall.

Finally take a really deep breath and relax. Stalls are natural and will happen. You must learn patience and persaverence! Also instead of looking at 80 lbs as negative - I've only lost 80lbs - turn it around. You have lost 80 lbs and that is something to celebrate!!! Enjoy your victories! Congrats on your weight loss!

Regardless of what your weight is doing - follow your plan. Stay positive, stay patient, stay focused on following the protocol as closely to the letter as you possibly can, and maintain a food log. There is no schedule for stalls and no way to accurately predict how long they will last. On the other hand, one thing is certain - as long as you are consuming fewer calories than your body is burning, sooner or later you will start losing again. There is no doubt. Science and the laws of the universe cannot be denied.

You're among friends here. There isn't a single one of us that can't understand your frustration. Just focus that energy on following your plan and you're gonna love the new you!!

This happened to me around the same timing. It just stopped coming off. The weight that is. Came to find out that I was not absorbing enough Protein. I had to spread it out further throughout the day. Once I did that the weight dropped quickly. Hope this helps with the other suggestions already made. I was getting my protein goal in, body just was bit absorbing it so I was wasting protein. Body can only handle so much at once and gets rid of the rest as waste.

      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.

      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!!
