Ditto for me. I've been trying to get under the 300lb mark for three weeks now. The worst part is that I've started back on the compulsive snacking. I'm making healthy choices but it makes me nuts that I'm fighting the urge to snack again,.

I'm down 120 pounds (counting pre-surgery loss) so it's definately been worth it but I really want to maximise the loss of the next six months. And I also want to freakin' get under 300 pounds for the first time in decades.

Start: 420 | Day of Surgery: 381 | Current: 223 | Goal: 199 Milestones:
100+ pounds lost
Under 250 pounds (first time in decades)
Weigh less than husband for first time

OMG, my February peeps. Me too. I have been within the same 3 lbs for over a month. Mentally it was killing me. I started a new mental plan today. My checkup last week was good. I was advised to "gasp" maybe not weigh for 3 weeks. Let's face it. I can't do that. So, I am waiting a week. I am pouch testing. Starting today. I am going to try to be positive and just do what I am supposed to do with my new pouchy. I however, will have a freakin meltdown on Friday if that scale hasn't moved. It is messing with my brain. Okay, I have vented... back to faking positive thoughts. This stall shall to pass. Right?

Thanks for keeping this board real. We are totally in the same boat. Not to be mean, but I am so ready to abandon ship. I want to see new numbers on that scale!!

Good luck to you all!!

I'm going through the same, again. I finished the 5dpt and only lost 0.8 lbs. I upped my calories and fats and lost another 1.8lbs over the next four days.

I'm trying to keep the protein high, over 100g, moderate fats and aroubd 1200 cal a day. It worked to end my 58 day stall in June. As soon as I went back yo the nuts plan, stalled again. Hoprfully this will keep my wl going.

Wl early on is generally fastest but we have about 2 yrs of max malabsorption. The pouch works forever. No one is more frustrated than me. I never had a quick wl honeymoon period.

Hang in there. We will make goal even if its later rather than sooner. We have 18mo of primo malabsorption to go.

Don't worry I am right there with ya! I have been stuck at 230 for over a month. I know I am still losing inches so I am assuming it's a catch up kind of thing (at least I hope so)! I have upped my exercise, but now I think I need to eat more and not sure if I can or not. This is the hardest part of this whole thing, but it's the using of the tool thing. The first 6 months were easy breezy, but now we gotta work! Keep me posted on how you are doing! Good luck to all of us who are in this stalled boat!

this is the worst stall ever!!

i have been stuck at 225ish for the last month! im so sick of it! i have been doing a 5 day pouch test...Im on day three!! and i havent weighed myself yet, but.....yes there is a but.....I WANT SOME MORE WEIGHT TO COME OFF!!! is this it....is my weight loss over....does the honeymoon period stop at 6 months??

guys, i think im gonna cry...i have actually stayed really positive all through the hills and craziness but now its really getting to me...if i am gonna stay at 225 i might as well have not gone through all the stuff i have been...i mean...225 was way off from my goal.

its discouraging! (sp)
