Has anyone gone back to shakes after several months just break a stall or get your weight loss moving again? Maybe for a week or so? Obviously I know I should talk to my doctor first, but I curious if anyone has done this and how did it work out for you?

I had my surgery 5/31. Starting weight 215, currently 175 and have been stuck here for about 2-3 months. I changed workouts, foods, everything. Drinking so much more water than ever in my life too, but the scale just isn’t budging. Anyone have any tips? I eat mostly protein and some vegetables. Hardly any carbs. I don’t eat too late at night and I’m relatively active because I work 2 jobs. Someone, anyone, help!

I do count calories and I use my fitness pal. That calculator shows 2200 calories and I eat about 1200 a day.

American Eagle had the best high rise jeggings ever. They hold everything in!!

I'm struggling with head hunger today, and most of the week. My stomach feels full but I keep feeling hungry and I know it's in my head. What do you guys do when that happens? I'm so stressed out about my wedding and I think thats part of the problem. Normally I'd turn to food! And my dr. just cancelled my appointment and I can't get in again til 11/6 because of the wedding and honeymoon since my schedule is so crazy finishing up the wedding plans and I'm also working 2 jobs and going to school for my masters. Any advice is extremely appreciated. Thanks. [emoji173]️

I’m on omeprazole already [emoji20]

Anyone?

I have not handled it yet. Haha. My work pants are almost at the point of falling off and I'm trying to hold out until after our wedding because clothes are so damn expensive and I'm just going to shrink through them anyway (fingers crossed)! I hear you. I hate shopping and it's a chore to try clothes on. But congrats on losing 84 lbs! Amazing!

Also, I sent you a PM

I had that problem too. Not as bad but I had it. It helps to meal prep and when you get those urges, eat something you already have made. When you do that, the urge and hunger will go away because you've gotten something in your stomach. And since it's a lot smaller, it takes less to do the trick. Be strong and eventually you will break the habit of running to a fast food place. You can do it. We all can. We just need a little help and a little support!

What do you eat in a day? I make chicken meatballs using an ice cream scoop a few times a week as grab and go foods I can take to work. They're about 100 calories each. So far today I've had a protein shake, 2 meatballs, and a zucchini and chicken fritter I made from ground chicken and zucchini (duh). I'm starving but I'm afraid I'm eating too much. On abnormal day I'll usually eat 2 more times. I try to eat every 2-3 hours, but not after 8/9pm. Thoughts and opinions welcome. And also appreciated.

This YouTube video explains why we're stalling and why we shouldn't be working out as much as we are. I have been killing myself in the gym with no success and this video really helped me cope with my stall and realize what I have to do to break it. I wanted to share it because I think it will be really helpful for some other people too!

I just posted his video. He's awesome!

I've tried upping protein. Upping water (it worked for a short while). Working out more. Counting calories. Going back to shakes for 2 meals. And I've been at the same weight for a month. I'm at my wits end. I want to do badly to get into the next 10 lb range and I keep going from 180.6 to 182 and back and forth. It's driving me nuts. I want to see the 170's! Can you guys spam me with possible ways to break this stall? I workout 5-6 days a week, 1-2 hours a day. I drink 70-75 oz of water every day, I don't really eat many carbs (no bread, pasta, rice, or potatoes). I literally don't know what else I can do. Thanks in advance! (Also, I'm 4.5 months out.)

This is what I do now. No carbs. Small protein meals every 2-3 hours.

Thank you! I will change up my routine and do this. [emoji173]️

Thank you [emoji173]️ I really appreciate your response. I will cut back at the gym and keep eating the right things and hopefully something will happen!

I'm afraid I will gain weight if I do.

This is the best news I've heard all day. I would love for this to work!

Thanks! I'm hoping to get some relief asap!

Those of you who are in acid reducers, did you see a decrease in hunger? I swear I'm always hungry and never feeling full lately and it's freaking me out! My doctor just sent an RX to my pharmacy so I will be starting that tomorrow. Thanks!

What do you do when your stomach is clearly full, but you still feel hungry? I know I'm full right now bc I can feel my stomach is a bit uncomfortable (I only ate me alloyed portion-I didn't overeat), but I still feel hungry in my guy. Someone, anyone, help me! Also-side note, I just finished a workout.

Has anyone gone back to shakes for a week jus to 'shake' things up on the scale? I was thinking about doing this for 2 meals and having one regular meal at lunch time just to shock my body back into moving. I have a doctors checkup tomorrow so I will discuss it with them but I'm curious if anyone else did this and if it worked? Thanks in advance!

I keep seeing everyone's posts about not being hungry or not being able to eat and I never had that! I mean for the first 2 weeks, maybe. After that I've been hungry and I've been hungry since! How has everyone been handling this?? I'm eating no carbs, only protein, and small portions, but I never feel satisfied! Help!

I will try that!
