    Month long stall?

    I did take prilosec for the first month post op, but my acid reflux was well under control before hand and I have not had any symptoms (sore throat, acid taste, nausea, heart burn) that I used to get. During the month that I took the prilosec my hunger did not get any better and in fact slowly got worse as my stomach healed.
  2. Hi all, I am new here. I'm Reanna, a 23 year old Chicagoan. I am a post op sleever and have been experiencing some frustration. I had my surgery about 3 months ago, and up until last month was losing weight pretty well both before and after the surgery. Now for the past month my weight has been stalled and I can't figure out why. I eat about 1200 calories a day and do vigorous cardio 5 times a week, and I use my bowflex home gym 3 times a week, plus some walking around the neighborhood or on my treadmill. I track everything I eat down to the gram and never leave out small tastes or little Snacks. I feel better than I have in a long time with plenty of energy and my workouts are going up in intensity at a relatively regular rate without causing any pain or stress. I just can't lose weight :/ My nutritionist said that my calories per day were just about right, and I get a lot of Protein every day, usually above 80 grams, often around 100. I eat almost every 2 hours because for some reason since the day after surgery I am constantly hungry. Once I eat I feel sated for about 30 minutes, and then I am hungry again, so it can be really tough for me, and I was dealing with it pretty well while I was losing, figuring that the hunger would go away, but now I am just constantly hungry and not losing... I have a body monitoring scale that says my RMR is about 1800, which seems to indicate that my body needs more calories, but many people on this forum and others eat 500-700 calories and continue losing. I have had a few shorter stalls before, most lasting for about a week or so, and then my weight began quickly coming off again, but a month seems like quite a while. Should I keep being patient, maybe try eating more or less? Have any of you folks experienced anything similar? Thanks for your input everyone, and I hope your days are going well.
