I'm 6 months into my journey and I feel like I'm going to be stuck at this weight forever! My body is arguing with me and I'm not winning this fight including pre-op I've lost a total of 75 lbs, "after" surgery I've technically only lost 55 lbs since August 3 and I feel like I'm failing at this .. I started at 260 pre op and now I'm 185.5 and I do eat what I'm supposed to although I'll admit I've had fall off the wagon meals (not quantity, quality) .. I know our body has stalls naturally but I'm just so worried that mine isn't going to budge past this point .. My weight loss has slowed and this month I've only lost 7.5 lbs and I just feel like I should still be losing 10lbs a month at 6 months out. Have any of you been through this!? Any advice? I'll take anything.. Im not even close to goal and I guess that's what scares me the most ..

Losing 7.5 pounds in a month is not a stall. If you are not eating the quality of food that you know you should and are concerned with a lack of weight loss. Haven't you answered your own question?

I would say that 95% of my food intake is bariatric friendly , yes sometimes I have popcorn or a skinny latte .. But I also don't think weight loss is black and white .. I wasn't looking for an opinion necessarily on the quality of food that I'm eating but more on what people experienced 6 months out .. I know I'm not technically"stalled" but my weight loss compared to the beginning is slower than it was. I started at 260 and now I'm 185. I'm just nervous about being stuck at a certain weight when I have my goals set on a lower number and I'm sure other people have had the same thoughts .. I wanted to know what other people have experienced 6 months out

I am six months out- and I lost 3 pounds last month- so yeah I totally feel you. I don't eat correctly all the time but I am always under 1200 calories - which is what I am supposed to do - so that's annoying. I just can't get enough food by starting Protein first. I can get about one bite in before my stomach hurts. And one bite of roast for dinner doesn't seem good right?

Thank you tenseintexas .. I don't feel so alone.. I'm sorry you are having trouble too.. I try and keep my carbs under 30 and my Protein 60-80 and I hope that eventually that will work.. I can't seem to get in over 1000 calories most days unless I get a skinny latte which I'm trying to stay away from. Have you tried pairing your protein with a sauce I've heard that can help get it down so it isn't so dry..

Me and you are exactly the same weight for starting. My goal weight is 185 lbs. I haven't weighed 185 lbs. for about 13 years. I felt good at that weight, more confident. Enjoy the new you, and keep up the good work. The weight loss will come...

Thank you Ldyvenus! I'm sure you will get to your goal of 185 I'll just keep trucking along and work my way down even if it's slower than I'd hoped for .. Any progress is progress I suppose
