I'm so glad to hear that someone else is experiencing this 6 month wall!! I weigh 169lbs. down from 263lbs. I want my 100 mark sooo bad and this month I just can't seem to move the scale very much. Don't get me wrong I'm thrilled that I've lost 94lbs. but, I want more and I want it now!! Generally each month I've been losing 10lbs. I know in my rational mind that the weight loss will slow down now that I'm getting close to my goal (145lbs.). But, somehow I almost feel like a failure for not losing more this month (6lbs.). I also know that exercise is not the problem for me because I exercise 7 days a week. (Unfortunately, I don't know the meaning of dumping syndrome.) I wish I had some great advice for you but, I'm just as frustrated as you are! Hopefully it will pass! Good luck to you!!

i am about 195--i WISH i could fit into a size 12, but am stillin a 20--wth is up with that?? i would love to be under 20

I hit a plateau at 6 months--it lasted two weeks during which I actually gained a pound, but then it broke and I ended up losing 11 pounds that month. As long as you are doing what you are supposed to be doing--eating right and exercising 4 or more times a week, you will lose what you are supposed to lose. That said, I am not sure that 150 pounds is going to be a realistic goal. With an RNY the usual weight loss is 65-75% of excess weight. If you are 5' 4" (my height) a weight of 150 pounds is a "normal" BMI of 25. 75% of your excess weight would be 97.5 pounds, which would make a realistic goal more like 182 pounds. If you are much shorter it could be less, of course. Remember that the goal of bariatric surgery is to improve our health and prolong our life, not necessarily to get into a size 8.

if u find the answer PLEASE let me know--i am also only at a loss of abput 66lbs, i look at other people that have lost twice as much as i have, starting at about same stats, and i am like WTF

Is there such a thing as a 6 mo wall? I was 280 prior to surgery and at 6mo I was 216 and now at 7mo I'm only at 214 down from size 26-28 to size 14-16. I feel its not enough and over the last month theres only a 2 lb loss. is that normal? What should I weigh? I was told I should end up at 150. Is something Wrong???
