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💙

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!

So you are coming up on 3 years post op in July? Losing 258lbs is a major accomplishment but at 415 that is still a ton of food to be eating daily. What does your weight chart look like were you losing steady the entire time or did the rate slow then grind to a halt? The first 100 I lost in 6 months and in the past 5 months ive only lost 14 more so it doesnt even feel like progress.

Congratulations on your weight loss so far! You’ve achieved amazing results. I’m a newbie here and don’t have a lot of advice to give yet, but I wanted to commend you on your transformation thus far! The before and after pics are so exciting!

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!

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])

Don't measure food by volume, go by weight. I have a digital scale at home, work, and if I'm at a retreat I'll ask them to weigh the meat. Don't care if it seems odd to them, it's important to me!

Well, unless you failed to mention that your green Beans come smothered in onion rings (jk!), there's no way that they could create an insulin spike. I'm actually surprised that you only eat 1/2 cup of food. I would have thought by now you would be eating a cup or more.

Congrats on the amazing work !

Are you sure that you aren't just head hungry?

Are you still avoiding liquids during/after meals?

Even though the meals are high in Protein, do they have too many carbs? That could cause an insulin spike that could lead to hunger.

BigTex,
Huge congrats on being down 200 pounds in less than a year! That is phenomenal!
