🔼Agreed🔼

Thanks for your response!
I didn’t exercise much over the winter season, unfortunately, BUT I have been walking about 6 miles most days for the last couple weeks. Doing that and not seeing the scale move much has been alarming.

I had a VSG in May 2018, so about 10 months ago. My weight loss has slowed significantly since December. Is the honeymoon period over, or could this be a stall?

I had a 3 week stall. It was because I was not getting enough sleep. Now back on track and lost another 3 lbs in a week

Yep. Have to work really ******* hard/smart to do it. But very very very possible!
First try cleaning up your diet to perfection, Protein then vegetable very minimal carbs, hit Fiber goals (regular bowel movement), drinking only cal free things but mostly plain Water, then Look into intermittent fasting.
Good luck 💜

Has anyone lost more weight after a long plateau more than six months postop?

You will be okay. People really beat each other up on this forum. You obviously know this wasn't on the plan. We are not going to be perfect 100% of the time. The best mentality to have is, "okay, I screwed up, but I can get right back on track". You got this!

It happens. But going forward you really have to want this. It's hard work and commitment. No playing around. If you want to see Great results try as hard as you can to stick to the plan. Good Luck!

Breads, toasted or untoasted it'll happen

I have to agree with @ms.sss, that seems to be when it happens for me as well.

Grady Cat I hope you can land back on all 4 paws and keep moving along. I started today in such a good, happy mood, then I threw up a while ago and I feel like the Storm Clouds are gathering around me again. Deluded myself that I was learning and succeeding at this Bariatric Life and here I go again. More than a little sad at this turn of affairs.😢😭😪👈😢👉

I get them when I eat too fast. Never fails.

Can be entirely rando. One day your playing well with your new anatomy and the other notsomuch. I think it has to do with if you've irritated it some way, or if you're dehydrated.
Sorry you had that happen! ((hugs)) Feel better soon. I'd take it easy for the next day or two with your food choices. Go back to basics...

Shortly after my sleeve almost 4 months ago, when I first started eating solid food, I got "the foamies" where I would get an uncomfortable rolling cramping feeling in my stomach and have to throw up foamy mucus. I learned about "the foamies" here on BariatricPal and knew it meant I was trying to eat a food that I wasn't yet able to tolerate, like soft tortillas or steak.
But today I was just having salmon, which I've had a dozen times since surgery without incident. Maybe I ate too fast?
What causes you have to have "the foamies?"

I think he was out of line and was ashamed he got called out for it.

Sorry. We have all been there. We are hard enough on our self that we don't need to hear it from a ……. or even from our family. I'm with you I would have say something about it also, because if we don't the bad behavior will continue. And that's on their up bringing being taught to them it's ok.

Yeah so true I've read many times people doing the wrong thing instead of going stage by stage from liquids they jump to eating solid too soon I don't see the point going through all this surgery and costs just to continue to make the wrong choices.
You have to be completely prepared to change your whole life and everything you put in your body for the surgery, not just for health but because you can do damage if you skip steps..
I say to those people do more research before committing to surgery!!
I've personally been researching for months reading 100s of posts and articles..

I know 😣. Pretty dumb move especially so closed to the surgery. I been following the pre-op diet to a T and was able to lose 12 lbs.

Wow ive been told pre-op is just Liquid Protein 2-3x day Protein Shake and then maybe one small can tuna or Salmon... Only high Protein no fat no carbs.
How will you survive on the post op liquids and mush for the first few weeks because if you try eat proper food you could damage your new stomach!!!!!!

You need to be as safe and healthy as possible for surgery and to shrink your liver, so stick to the diet from this point out so that you can have your scheduled surgery and be okay. Okay?

Did your doctor's directions for the liver shrinking diet include chips and guacamole? If not, then yes, it's cheating! I'm allowed plain grilled chicken 2 oz so if you ate plain chicken that's probably ok. Guacamole is high in fat, and the point is low or no fat, and no sugar . All plans are different, but it sounds like cheating!

My surgery is on the 03/26/19, however I just drank Raspberry Ice Tea, not sugar free with 2 chicken, chips and guacamole. Is this considered cheating cuz I am now worry.
I start my Full Clear liquid Phase on Sunday through Monday. NPO on Tuesday. I’m worry that cheating will delay my surgery. 😣
