Might be worth trying to up your caloric intake a bit, see if your body is stuck in conservation mode, this is why I was also asking if you were paying attention to your BMR. Are you paying attention to your fat% by chance? Lots of times I personally didn't lose any weight, actually have gained some, but still would lose body fat.

I answered by summing up that I am very disciplined meaning I track everything, even my macros, and I'm meeting all my requirements. I'll list everything out so you'll have it on hand:
My Water intake is 120 oz or more per day
My carbs stay under 35 everyday
My calorie intake is from 900 to 1000 per day
My fat intake is under 35 per day
My Protein intake is between 60 and 80
I salsa every Tues and Thurs and I do cardio 2 other days during the week.
I take all my assigned Vitamins and supplements as well.
What else details would you like to know?
I, again, am asking to hear what people have tried and worked not just what may work on me, so that way this post is helpful to others, as well.

I have to agree with sleeved36. It's when I'm doing everything right and no more than an ounce loss to gaining a couple lbs back. I am very disciplined on my diet and exercise so I already know the do's and don'ts, I was asking for advice about a true stall, not "I'm not losing bc I'm not doing what I'm suppose to" stall. And yes it was suppose to have written out four months since my gastric bypass sorry about that. Jsan I'm thinking I may have to cut back on my solids and up my Protein total for the day a lil more.

So I had my gastric bypass done for months ago and I have now lost 67 pounds since then. But now I seem to be at a standstill for the past 3 weeks and I'm not sure what is going on. How can I jump start my weight loss again? Should I go back to stage 1 and 2 of my liquid diet and see if that helps?

At the end of the day you and only you know if eating any "no no" foods are for you or will result in a habit or cause damage to your goal. I workout enough to take in a lil more calories than normal. Talk with your nutritionist about everything not people on so many different paths. I will give an example. I got advice from a bypass post-op person that said to eat pickles when my stomach was upset. Well it caused me to get gastritis really bad which I'm still fighting. When I should've discussed it with a Dr.

I wish you the best!

I was told that they aren't bad for you just to buy the box with individual packs and limit myself to 2 packs a day at most. As long as you are exercising and eating otherwise healthy they're not the worst you could be eating!

Sucks your in a rut. We all know it's not easy but being here on this site should be your time to gain support and guidance. If you need help reach out man, send me a PM and I'll do what I can to help. I'm by far perfect at this **** but the motivation I get from this place helps me so much. It's not only the "I've done it" posts it's the "why did I do this" or "I can't do this anymore" posts as well. Try to keep things in perspective, all points of view. I try to learn from EVERYTHING I read here, other articles I read and videos I watch. I don't think I've read the posts @sillykitty mentioned so I can't comment on those but like I said man, post those question, concerns ask for guidance where you need it.

At the end of the day you and only you know if eating any "no no" foods are for you or will result in a habit or cause damage to your goal. I workout enough to take in a lil more calories than normal. Talk with your nutritionist about everything not people on so many different paths. I will give an example.

I know I posted earlier but it was more a HAHA comment. Not trying to be an ass or the food police but it sure as **** sounds like a lot of EXCUSES to justify eating this garbage. These things have been a favorite of mine since I was a kid but why go through everything we have and will go through just to give in and possibly put us on a path to lose? You justify this then what's next? I'm tired of making BS excuses for my choices or why if I only have a little it will kill my craving and get me past this moment. 379lbs later and a hell of a lot of bodily pain and thankfully my eyes were opened. I won't say I will not cheat or give into temptation but I will try my hardest not to.
Just my opinion and I really hope to not piss anyone off or offend anyone. Good luck everyone, I really hope we all succeed on our journeys!!!!!

Surprisingly they have 5 grams of Protein per little packet.

Had my bypass on 4/20/18. Two weeks later sharp pain on lower left side. Was admitted to hospital with an abscess on my bowel. Had to stay back to stage 1 liquids. It's been 5 weeks now and still vomiting from most solids. Had an endoscopy last week. Everything looked good except some irritation, probably from throwing up everyday. I'm on heavy antacids and testing what makes me throw up. I can't do meats except Turkey, nothing fried, no breads, no eggs.....
Has anyone experienced food allergies post-op?
