Please discuss your successes, difficulties and tips here ? how excited are you to be one year ???

My nutritionist said she’s had patients who never lost any weight !! Wtf

I’ve lost only 40 pounds since August 25th 2017, is anyone else having same issue? I walk everyday and do weight training 5 days a week. Never eat out have high protein Adequate water. Hypothyroid patient. Anyone with me ? Stalled 5 months

Is there anything that’s worked for breaking stalls ?

My hypothyroid is under control, hypo makes u gain weight by slowing your metabolism. I do look for stevia. Consulted a family friend who is Batiatric surgeon , he said there are certain ppl genetically such that this surgery will not benefit and we cannot test for those genes yet ☹️☹️☹️ I hope I’m not one of them. I’m doing my weights n getting steps in ! I’ll cut all carbs for two weeks n see if my weight changes.

That’s how my day looks ! Do u really think I can ingest 3k calories a day? No way!!! I’m always less than 1000 cal. I’ll log my food for a week n be back

My nutritionist sucks ! She asked me what I had every day and asked me to continue the same ! Clearly it’s not working ! How do I break stalls I’m very upset about this

Anyone ???

Hey Alexandra. I am right there with ya, have stalled for 6 months and I’m only 8 months post op. It’s hard to be enthusiastic cuz how long can u when you see no weight loss? I do sugar free everything , obviously no soda .. my surgeon and dietician were of no help. I’m also hypothyroid & have history of pcos. I’ve started metformin pills again, hoping it would help. My weight moves 2-4 pounds up and down but has always been on this weight since 6 months. Very annoying! Motivation is a finite source and can’t just keep going on like this! There’s got to be something else going on but I don’t know what it is. I exercise 5-6 times a week for an hour & half with cardio HIiT & weights for 45 mins. I’ve no clue what to do and frustrated... I dont have cheat days although yes once in a way I might eat out but even then I pick healthy options! And come on even if we cheat we can only consume like 70ml of whatever! I can’t even have an entire drink ! Give me some info bout u... do you have hypothyroid pcos? What was your start weight? How much have you lost so far? I lost only 44 pounds from Pre surgery till 3 months post op and stopped altogether!

Hi wondering if there’s anyone who’s done the surgery and does the diet n exercise but hasn’t lost weight? Well maybe u lost some preop n some post op but did it stop and you never lost again? If so pls comment cuz that would be v valuable to me. Also has anyone been diagnosed with cushings?

I kinda never got over my first stall . Been 5 months and ir sucks. Last week I lost 2 pounds but that’s extra 1.5 hours at the gym everyday ... what’s the point of surgery if I’ve to slog harder than before ? One of the doc has asked me to check for Cushing after a month

I’ll look into it

I’m in the same boat . What’s the plan?

I lost just 30 since August and I’m depressed

Wait you lost 94 since August???

Bio oil ? Orange n white box? What’s the frequency of application

Thanks for your response. What carbs do you eat? What did your nutritionist suggest your calorie intake to be ? 1000? Pls give me details. Regards Amelia

I use the metric system I’m 5’4 female H/o hypothyroidism & poly cystic ovaries. I weighed 122 kgs pre op, dropped to 117 after one week of shake and then now dropped to 105, but this loss was over immediate 3 months. Surgery was on August 25, haven’t lost weight since October end. So November - feb no weight loss at all. December was a mess cuz I was out of country but yeah. Idk. I was telling my best friend I feel like I did all this to lose 15 kgs. But I also need to exercise more & eat right . Anyway it’s a win cuz you don’t gain & also you eat less which is good for over all health.

Thank you! Yes I’ll invest in waist pouch get it under my apron & take a protein flask & if they have a problem get a note from the doctor. So many people out there make it happen and I should too. I’ve just been sad bout not losing and on the road to giving up! Thank you beautiful people so much, although such a long stall so early is hard to take in.. you guys have motivated me again! I was considering 3 shakes a day again to kick start? Is that what works or increasing calories ? What has worked for any of you if you stalked? I love you guys & this means a lot ... God bless you lovely souls [emoji847][emoji847][emoji847]

Thank you dear I feel relieved to have someone out there like me [emoji847]

But I feel like I’m the only one going through this [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]

I could invest in a waist pouch .. and I need to find some time to gym. It’s sleep or gym and gym loses each time.. but I feel horrible .. why go though all this to lose so less. I’m a mess mentally :-( you guys have been so nice

You mean cut down fat totally dear ? Like cheese avocado nuts are what I eat usually. Yes to chocolate but once in a way!

I’m working at a cafe n phones aren’t allowed neither is there time for water but I try to get water in. I can’t carry my food cuz I don’t have place to eat my food, I can eat a cafe but all I can eat are boiled chicken and egg. I get a 15 min break every 5 hours and I can’t gulp down food cuz it takes time for us to chew and eat right? In those 15 mins I need to punch out, wait in line pick up my food , eat and clean up n punch back in. So I basically get 5 mins to eat where in I eat like one egg or little bit of chicken. I can drink any amount of soda throughout work but obviously I don’t wanna go that path right? Maybe I should just quit damn it!!! I’m allergic to sea food .. sadly!

Hi I do snack on chocolate say once a week. I’m unable to make 5-6 meals and drink the water. So hard to consume water when I have few breaks during the day. I think I’ve to go all protein shake for three meals maybe? I have one slice of bread once I a way .. most times it’s just shake and egg with pesto & some cheese. I definitely don’t consume a lot but I’m so bugged and even getting depressed cuz I went through so much not to lose 26 pounds in 5 months. The stall is unbearable. All the time I have for exercise is a walk for 40 mins a day. I should maybe hit the gym instead? Do weights ? I’m not doing 5-6 meals. I eat 2-3 meals and most of it shake
