I have stalled for about five weeks now...no real weight loss???
WOW i could hug u right now! i AM NOT THE ONLY ONE!! u have made me the happiest person alive right now i hope you know this! 
but anyhow....yea u and i are a day apart in our surgery..i wus on the 22. Seems as though EVERYONE around me is losing EXTREME amounts of weight...an i am only down 56 lbs...i say only but in all reality 56 lbs is ALOT and that is what i need to remind myself! i do however seem to be able to push my boundaries with food to the max....i will snack on a cookie...get sick an hour later and yet there i go for the damn same box of cookies again! yea its only ONE cookie...but that is ONE cookie i DONT need to place in my pouch! i have eaten all kinds of ways to see what it is that my body wants as a schedule and it doesnt seem to perfer anything!! i have eaten once every couple hours....tried the 3 meals and 2 snacks....tried the protein shakes as meals....i am too such a picky eater that its HARD AS HELL to get my protein in and like someone else mentioned i REALLY think that is what the problem is! with protein yes u do feel alittle more satisfied then eating an empty carb lets say....but lets face it...im sick of trying to plan on my next meal to see what it is that i can eat that is high in protein! its FRUSTRATING and i guess it can only get worse from here. i would have thought 6months out that this would almost be routine....and yet it seems like its getting harder and harder cause i cant more now then i ever could! i TOO still buy lets say 'sweets' and hide them so someone else doesnt eat them....WHY? i know for a fact i REALLY DONT wanna eat that damn danish but yet here i am making it slide down like its a necessity. Kinda pathetic if u ask me, but its something that needs alot of work! Luckily i know that i need to exercise ALOT more then i am now, and hopefully that will throw my weight loss back on track, but until then i know im not CRAZY and dont call urself nuts cuz im in the same boat as u my dear! it will get better if u want it to, so that in mind we just need to try alittle harder for self control!

I cannot believe how honest you have been and how much I appreciate it. A few weeks back I was on this site trying to find some support and everyone who had surgery the same week as me had lost like 95 to 100 lbs. I've lost about 75 to 80 lbs) That made me feel like such a failure even though I know that everyone loses differently.
I too have extreme trouble with sweets. I still cannot eat very much, but I can eat pretty much anything. I was so depending on this "tool" to work miracles when it is me that needs to do the work. I know this intellectually, but it still for some reason disappoints me that I actually have to expend any effort.....sheesh!!!!
I am ashamed that I too hide stuff in my closet to much on so my husband doesn't see. But I too fessed up to him to hold myself accountable. I want to change and NOT be in the 95% that gains back all their weight. (As quoted from Jillian on Biggest Loser).
Thank you so much for having the courage to admit honestly your troubles and ways to combat them, you have helped me so much!!!
