Try not to compare yourself to others and what they’ve lost. It’s different for each person. You’re doing well with your exercise. Just keep true to a good eating plan and you’ll continue to do well. You’re doing great!

Please don’t do this to yourself. Don’t be disheartened. I’m a year post-surgery, and you WILL lose. You will have stalls occasionally and even some gains. It’s the same when people diet to lose weight. Keep doing all the right things and following your surgeon’s plan, and you’ll be losing again soon.

I empathize with you. We all do. It can be frustrating to see gains, but they are a part of this journey. I have learned to not weigh every day, as others have mentioned. It was counterproductive.

I’m 1 year post-surgery. I do yoga 6-7 times a week and walk. Yoga has helped me so much as far as building core strength along with muscle, not to mention the numerous other benefits it has for mental and emotional health.

Hi, all. I’m one year post-surgery, and I need to start taking a fiber supplement. I wanted see what fiber supplements that people use that don’t cause excessive bloating. Thanks in advance!

Thank you so much. I will try the Benefiber and look for The generic equivalent. Thanks for the warning about the Citrucel and Metamucil.

Oh my goodness! I’m sure that was terribly painful.

I had (and still have) arthritis, so anything high impact like Zumba would have been out of the question for me when I was over 300 lbs. I mostly did water-based activities for cardio (swimming, water aerobics, Aqua Zumba) - and walking. I also took gentle yoga classes (I could do some of the poses, but not all), and occasionally used the strength-training machines (I hate those, but I forced myself to do it sometimes)
just so you know, they say 80% of weight loss is due to diet and only 20% to exercise. Both are important, of course, but be sure you're paying a lot of attention to your food intake, since that will have a greater effect on your loss.

Ketosis can cause your urine to smell differently, so that may be a reason.

Stalls are part of the process. The only reason you would want to consult your doctor is if you have one that lasts 4 weeks. 2 week-3 weeks stalls are not uncommon after gastric bypass. I have had 2 stalls: one lasted about 3 weeks. The other lasted for about 2 weeks. Follow the eating plan carefully, perhaps up your protein intake, drink more water if possible, exercise more if you can.
