I am at the 6 month mark and have lost 90 pounds but I have been stalled for 4 week. I am exercising, not eating carbs., mostly Protein, cottage cheese, yogurt, Protein Shakes, 1oz of nuts, not much of anything else.

I completely understand and my best advise to you is mix it up !! Change your food and work out routine ! I was exactly at the same place as you ! You need to add some food and def drink 60-90 ounces of Water a day . Your body knows what to expect now so that's the need to change it up and you will start to see results again . Be prepared that they may be slower results but none the less results

Your body will go through stalls over time to sort of rest up and give you time to mentally catch up. If the stall goes on a long time, try mixing things up. Add more Protein or more fat to your diet or change up your exercise routine. Anything that is different can break a stall and bring on weight loss. Also you are reaching the point where your loss will slow down. You won't have the big jumps anymore, but you will have a slower more predictable loss like someone on a conventional diet would. I'm a yr and a half out now and my weight loss is like 2lbs a month if that. I'm not cheating my heart out, but things slow down the further out you get and you still have to stay on top of it.

thank you, I am trying to walk more and I am drinking plenty of Water. The issue is, I am unable to eat a variety of food. I am little by little adding in food, but I can only handle cottage cheese, Protein Shakes, ground turkey, yogurt. sea food, beef, chicken make me sick.

Just give it time, and keep trying things every once in awhile. For about the first year, I couldn't eat any kind of chicken or pork. I still can't eat pork, but I've improved over time to be able to eat chicken in certain preparations, but still not in all the ways i used to. It takes awhile for your body to learn to process Foods differently. In general, if something bothers you, wait a month or two and then try it again. Try it with a sauce, a marinade, or another preparation and see if it handles better.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
