Hi! I was sleeved August 17, 2016. I have lost a pretty decent amount of weight, but I haven't lost anything in the last two months. Since Thanksgiving, I haven't dropped a single ounce. I am still getting my Protein and Water in every day and staying in a good calorie range. I am active and have really tried to stay on track. I just cannot seem to bust through this plateau. I have an appointment with my doctor next month but I really do not want to go in without a single pound lost! Does anyone have any suggestions on how to break through a plateau? Should I change things up? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Whenever I have a stall that lasts longer than I think it should, I always call the nutritionist first, then the surgeon if I get no response. At one point, the nut told me I wasn't getting enough calories, I increased and started losing within a couple days.

I am also in a stall. I have not lost any weight since before Christmas. I am also trying very hard to stay on track. I have gone back this week to drinking a lot of Protein shakes except for one meal per day. After 3 days of that I have still not lost anything. I had my surgery July 13th and have only lost 55 lbs. I am getting very discouraged.

I agree with Chrmow. I've heard the same thing.

Hi all, I am new to this site and discussions. I had surgery in April 2016, so about 9

months now and along the way I have had some stalls though I have lost a good amount of weight. It is getting more difficult as I go along and I have a way to go to reach my goal. I've noticed a lot of posts are from new people who are in the "new phases" of excitement and things that are mostly positive, but I would like to see if anyone else is finding it more challenging with time.

I'm on this website to get support from others who are working through this life change, and to help

me stay focused on my goal. I appreciate any feedback, challenges, successes that any of

you are going through...

        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!!
