I'm so freaking frustrated.... I can't seem to get past 239. I was 344 in June 2014 and I lost most of my weight in 9 months and now I've been stalling... any suggestions for restarting weight loss?

What are you eating now? How many calories, carbs, and Protein grams do you get in each day? What do you think is causing your stall?

Maybe try going back to the liquid part of your diet ( the one you followed right after the surgery ....) for a week or if you cant do a week try 3 or 4 days? that is what I am going to do ...

I actually found this today because I was looking for answers to why I have stalled. I will be 9 months out on June 23rd and I have not lost anything in 3 weeks. I exercise 6 times a week for an hour or more. I am so frustrated right now, I am not sure if I am eating too much or not enough. I am eating about 1000 calories a day. I am also looking for suggestions so I understand your pain. When I had my surgery I was 330 and now I seem to be stuck at 225, so we seem to have some similarities.

I have been stalled for 3 1/2 weeks and I'm 8 months out. When I went for my appointment last week I was told not to go back on the liquid diet for a week, that I had to get my metabolism fired up again. So now I'm eating between 80 and 90 grams of Protein a day. I got on the scale and was down 3 lbs this week. (( yay )). We have been taught our whole lives to stop eating to lose weight, that's why it just makes no sense to me to hear your not eating enough you need to eat more. So now I'm keeping a journal of what I eat everyday for awhile and see if that helps. So far I have lost 102 lbs and 64 stubborn ones left.

      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!!
