Follow up with surgeon and he said he's is not concerned. No sign of any infection and spleen is only slightly larger than when I had surgery. Prescribed diet pills for a couple months to help get me out of the stall. Not sure how I feel about that.

Results of my CT Scan show an enlarged spleen and liver. Follow up with my surgeon is scheduled. Please say a little prayer. Thanks!

Hey Olivia! You are definitely not alone! I have been stuck at 264 since the middle of May, so 3 months at the same weight. Yes, I am excited and can Celebrate losing 90 lbs but I believe I should be far more along by now. I am beyond discouraged at this point. I agree with others who have said to put the scale away, it will just continue to frustrate you if you're not losing as quickly as you'd like. Good luck!

11 months out and no weight loss for half of it
JerzyTomato74 replied to kgunchic's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@kgunchic I'm in the exact same boat as you so don't feel bad, you are not alone! I am 9 months out and haven't lost a single pound in 2 months. In the past month, I've been eating all sorts of foods that I know I shouldn't be. My worst fear was that I'd go back to my old habits. I find some meals I can get full on a small amount and others I need more than usual to feel full. I've also been snacking between meals, picking at my daughter's lunch/dinner as I'm making it, etc. I know I will have to do the 5 day pouch test at this point in order to get over this rut I'm in. It's going to be hard to do but I keep telling myself that it's only 5 days and they will pass. Good luck! -
Still haven't broke 100 lbs at 7 mos out. Grrr!!! Been stuck at 263 for a month.

Yesterday was my 6 month surgiversary and I am down 91 lbs. I was hoping to be 100 lbs down by the time 6 months rolled around but I keep stalling. I started using My Fitness Pal which helps me see what I eat every day and since then, the weight loss has started to come off again, ableit slow. I eat approximately 1,000 calories each day and walk every day. -
Yes, I started eating a tortilla on occasion around 2 months out. They help satisfy my need for a sandwich. I use La Tortilla Factory brand which have 6 net carbs. They are a little chewier than other brands but tasty.

I am 5 months out and have been stalling like crazy. I went the entire month of February stuck at 285 lbs so I went back to the full liquid stage for a couple days and that helped lose 5 lbs. Since then I've only lost another 5 and have been stuck again at 275 for the past 3 weeks. I've increased my exercise and I eat 1000-1200 calories a day. I'm getting 70-80 grams of Protein and I get my liquid in so I know that's not an issue. Also, my hair. My poor hair! It was thin before surgery and has only gotten worse since. I took my hairdressers advice and switched to a sulfate-free shampoo/conditioner and started using a hot oil treatment. I'm thinking hair extensions or a top piece might be in my future! -

What are your favorite Quest Nutrition products?
JerzyTomato74 replied to foreversleeved08's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
My favorite Quest bar is the Cookies n' cream. I like it so much I bought an entire box when they were on sale at GNC ($24.99 for a box of 12). The apple pie and chocolate chip cookie dough are also pretty good. -
I can't describe how good it feels to go down a size! I actually look forward to shopping for clothes now. Can't wait until the next size drop! Woot!!!
. Here's hoping it moves again soon!
