Hi everyone....This is the first time I have ever posted here. I had RNY on 11/03/2014. I was 520 at my HW. Surgery was 490. CW 281. I have been in a stall since November. Any ideas on how to get through this would be great.

Welcome!! And what great progress you have made so far! A stall since November must really be frustrating. How many calories / Protein grams / carb grams / fat grams are you having daily? Have you contacted your NUT to see if they can help? It seems most folks either realize they have been grazing, taking in too many carbs or just need to actually up their Protein to kick it in to gear. Also I have seen people try liquids (protein shakes) for a few days to kick the stall out. Give us a better idea of what you are doing currently and maybe we can help.

Congratulations on your weight loss. 240 pounds is fantastic.

I am almost 3 years post-op RNY surgery. This article describes my approach in the "Maintenance" phase. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery2.pdf

Welcome.

Without knowing what you are doing it is hard to give suggestions. I recommend that if you are unhappy with where you are that you make an appointment with your NUT to talk about your goals.

In the meantime, go back to basics.

Follow your program.

Track your food.

Make sure you are reaching your Protein target every day.

Get at least 64 oz of Fluid every day.

Take your Vitamins and supplements as directed.

Avoid starches, added sugars, and fried foods.

Exercise.

Embrace the Stall

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        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!!
