I have hit a wall!



Recommended Posts

On Dec 4th will be my one yr sleeve anniversary, and I haven't lost any weight in like a month. I go back to the doctor on the 16th and I need to do something different. I have been getting tons of Protein getting less than 25 net carbs but I think I have plateaued. So today I have started my per op diet again. 2 Protein shakes and a meal under 300 calories ( 4 to 6 oz lean meat and a veggie), Has anyone had to do a restart and if so what did you do?

Are you tracking your calories?

I know it sounds funny, but every time I would stall, I would increase my calories and that would help. Our bodies get used to the low caloric intake, and sometimes we need to do something different to shake things up. Even if it's increasing by 100-200 calories. Sometimes upping your carb intake helps get things moving again, too.

On the flip side, if you aren't' tracking, start. You need to know where you are at calorie, carb and Protein wise so adjustments can be made. Sometimes we think we are only eating a certain amount, and then find out once things are in writing in front of us we have let some extra sugar, carbs or calories slip in. That's why I think it's really important to track in the weight loss phase. You can't measure what you can't see!

I miss some days but what I eat doesn't change much from day to day. I just think my body hates me lol. But the crazy thing is I'm in smaller sizes. just that number isn't moving :(

You are a lot farther out than me, but I would try increasing your carbs. Not bread and Pasta, but healthy ones.

Then mix things up! Try eating a little different for a few days.

Sounds to me like you're in a classic stall though. scale isn't moving, but clothes are shrinking. Sometimes the body just needs to take a little break. Sometimes you just gotta ride it out until it ends.

      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!!
