SOOOOOO - I am 8 months post op today and I have been at 177-181 bouncing back and forth for a month. >_< I don't know what to do to get past this stall I am at 95 pounds lost and need to lose about another 40 pounds and I'm just stuck HELP PLEASEEEEE.

What do you eat?

I lost to 160 and gained 20 lbs. two years and the scale won't move. My surgeon says I am where I need to be. I don't like it, but we eat healthy, right, and I still push.

You should up your calories. My surgeon says I should be around 800-1000 and I'm only 7 weeks Post op.

600 calories seems far too low. How are you able to get that much protein in with so few calories? I hit a stall at 8 months as well and increased calories (I eat 1300 a day, average) and really focused on water intake. I was able to get over the stall but it took a few weeks. Good luck!

I am also eight months, and I was noticing a very slow losing/stall. I was eating about 700 calories. I talked to my surgeon last month about adding in another meal because I am on a one shake and three meals with no snacks plan. He agreed that my nutrition stats were good but I needed more calories. I am now eating about 800-900 and losing more. I am trying to increase my calories but not the carbs and it is working for me.

Thanks, everyone - I am still stalled at 174.6 now just a few pounds down but hopefully the increase will help.

That's exactly where the weight I'm at and have been stalled there for 4 months. I'm 8 months out

I'm at 6 months and I've been around 600 cal the whole time with 60+ go of protein. My surgeon and nut say 1000 cal is way too much at this point.

I'm stalled at 6 months out and I've only lost 50 pounds it's a slow process for me and it's so depressing sometimes. And now I feel like I can eat more that usual not sure what's happening there.

Oh my I feel the same way!!! I see other ppl lose so much more in their 1st 6 months. I keep thinking what am I doing wrong. Then I read a lot of other reviews and it reminds me that EVERYONE is different. I have lost weight and need to stop comparing myself to EVERYONE else. we are all winners here. We are all here for support and suggestions and we can do this together.

You are so right and that's what my doctors and family say but I can still use all the suggestions anyone has to give on jump starting the losing process again

Me too

Are you doing any exercise eating only 600 calories a day?

I am 8 months and was only getting 100 to 300 calories a day. My PA almost put me on a feeding tube! You definitely need to increase your caloric intake. My NUT told me at least 900 to 1000 calories a day. It should help you. Try eating nuts throughout the day. That's what has helped me. I still can't eat very much. But the nuts definitely help up the calories.
