BigTex

Okay everyone BIG UPDATE. I took the advice here on this forum and some more that I searched around for how people were breaking their stalls. I firstly did an intermittent fast for 24 hours. I drank water had some tea (and prayed because PHEW your boy was HUNGRY LOL) and then I cut out all my snacking habits and increased my time between meals from every two hours to every four hours. I have lost 8 pounds since then. I started to interchange my workouts to include sometimes just a walk instead of weights and running. Thank you all and I hope this helps somebody else too?

It slowed down and then grinded to a halt to answer your question @brent701

Hey guys so long time no see. Here’s what’s happened. I have lost a grand total of 258 pounds I now weigh 415 pounds. However I have hit a MAJOR stall. I’m talking about a few MONTHS. I exercise 5 times a week, eat healthy (IE: I meal prepped ground turkey avocado wraps this week as an example) and my body is not having it. It says it loves this weight and will fluctuate slightly but will not go down. I’m at a loss. Help!

Yall are such angels. I needed this advice!! I think that's exactly what I'm doing eating too little, and I can be honest and also say I'm a rather fast eater (some things I see do not change[emoji30]) Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Oh I can!! Lol! (Ive done it on multiple good meals) just kinda limit myself because I'm always scared of the whole stretching your pouch thing....which Now that I look back on it may be why I'm having this problem? I'm not eating to full capacity per-say Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I appreciate all feedback! I usually just buy tilapia because it's the first thing I see lol. I do know I have a sleeve on the "larger" side because I find that I can eat a bit more than my other friends who are sleeved. I never thought of that to be an issue since I'm basically scarfing down protein 24/7. But I do eat green beans alot with alot of my proteins as well. I can usually put down a little more than half a cup of food at an initial sitting. But all my concurrent meals are significantly less after that

I do for the most part. I say the most part because I will admit the time that I wait is usually less now. Probably around 15 minutes or so and I'll take a swig of water or something. (Not gulps however) but usually I still try to maintain not drinking and eating with meals

HEY ALL!!! It's BigTex checking in! Just hit my 200 pounds lost goal 1 month short of being A year post OP. I'm noticing that Im getting hungry FAST. And I'm not talking about after eating light meals. I'm talking Protein dense meals. Tilapia, baked chicken, curried turkey(it's a gem try it!) I'll get hungry again in about an hour and 30 minutes. Anyone else have this issue? What did y'all do to satisfy the beast? It almost feels like I'm constantly eating/drinking something with high protein. Is this normal? Did a old witch put a curse over me? Do I need to sacrifice a goat? HELP![emoji23]

That's so great fam! Maybe one day I'll get like You!

I'm coming back to say, that now as I've lost even more. I'm starting to have this problem. The horniness persists throughout the whole dang day. It's so bad

YOU BETTER work!! Okay![emoji170] Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

As long as there's honesty afoot, man boobs don't bother as much as this fat pad above "little Tex" if you catch my drift. I'm trying to coax the dragon out the cave. That's the sole reason I haven't broken down and bought Oreos at the nearby supermarket.

Good sir let me tell you! They do decrease and you will feel so excited!! I actually had my measured at Victoria secret (DONT YOU JUDGE ME[emoji23]) and started off in the I's. I'm now down to a 48 F. I'm determined to get these moobs out my life! Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Man titties are the bane of my existentence right now Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Sup fellas! (And/or ladies who have snuck in here[emoji23]) Been awhile but my first thing is I have lost just short of 120 pounds to the day since my surgery 07/17/17 And am feelin GREAT! (Picture attached). My biggest concern is the amount of what I can consume. I can eat a good 8-9 OZ steak AND a few bites of spinach or whatever veggies I accompany with my protein. I have been working out hardcore lately but is that still normal for us? I ALWAYS eat protein first. A few weeks ago I consumed 2 baked chicken legs and a wing with some wiggle room for a few bites of steamed broccoli. Am I OVER eating? I have also never came across something that my pouch disagreed with. (I celebrated my first 100 by eating a slice of cheesecake at one of my friends get togethers) And had no I'll consequences. I'm calling on all my brothers and sisters in arms. knowledge is very much needed! Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app
