April 18, 2014 - Hit a major stall/plateau



Recommended Posts

I'm down 70lbs since surgery but it's literally been months since I've had consistent loss. I can't seem to find the balance. I eat right and walk daily but that doesn't seem to be enough.

Everywhere I read it says I should be consuming around 1000 calories a day.

I'd like to know what others are doing to continue to see consistent loss.

Thanks in advance!

Stacy

For me, the key was accurate measuring and tracking of my food intake. When I know I'm going to have to record it, I'm less tempted to allow myself extra treats.

Also, I experimented with the number of meals and Snacks each day and decided that 3 meals and 2 Snacks works for me. It might be different for you. Try different patterns for a week each and see which feels most comfortable without slowing your weight loss rate.

Thanks! After I posted I checked out a few other posts and someone mentioned increasing Protein and Water intake. So I have an updated meal plan that I am going to try this week to see if it can bump me back into high gear! :)

Stacy,

I was wondering how the new meal plan was working for you? I also have hit a major 4 month stall but I believe it is mostly because of my poor eating habits and lack of exercise more than anything else. I am trying to get back on track and was wondering if you would be willing to share your meal plan? I started at 270 and am at 195.8 but haven't been able to get under that for months. Any encouragement or words of advice would be extremely appreciated:)

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
