    Ginnnnie got a reaction from GreenTealael in Specialist: 4-5months stall. Explanations please!!   
    FORGIVE THE LENGTHY MESSAGE. NEED TO GIVE CONTEXT

    I am wondering if any one experienced this
    my starting weight was 139kg before surgery on the 15th of January 2023
    on day of surgery it was 131kg
    2 weeks post-op i was stalled for 8weeks which was not a bother to me at the time
    i healed quite quickly with no complications and was moved to solids within 3 weeks by the dietitian too.
    between January and April i lost some weight down to 111kg
    Since april i have not lost anything. I have gained and lost 3-4 kg since April till date which is September 6th 2023
    I do everything many people say on every platform which had never been a challenge namely
    Monitor what i eat: I eat between 88 - 1200 calories
    I have more Protein than anything eggs, lean meat, chicken, fish, shrimps
    carbs are mostly bulgur wheat. which i have sparingly 2ce a month. Plantain i have daily to balance my protein intake but not as much as protein. I prob have more grams of protein a day and that includes protein Water.< br style="font-size:14px;" /> I work out 4-5 days a week for up to 1:30 - 2:00 hours each day
    In April i worked out more 4 days a week 2ce a day 2day time cardio 1:30 hours night time strength training. no weights heavier than 25kg

    i take my Vitamins Biotin and all recommended as well as powdered collagen
    Recent bloods shows everything within normal range.

    I am going into my 5th month and i am still 111kg Since April.
    My dietitian is numb on what is going on, the nurse recommended liquid collagen ( which makes no sense) and have said hormones.... but hormones cannot affect this 5months straight.
    I did bloods to check my thyroids and it showed elevated parathyroid (no idea what that means)..... not gotten an explanation as my Vitamin levels and Calcium levels are normal
    my nails are very soft and brittle and my hair falls like the weather ( only blessed to have a full head of hair but cant say it is helpful soon)

    No ...... the clothes i wore in April are still the same September. measurements are the same..... the only win i am getting from this is that my knee and ankle dont hurt as much when i workout. i dont burn out as i used to and i work out more than i used to before which was walking up to 50k-70ksteps a day.

    I have never been one who drank alcohol and havent started post surgery. I have never been one who ate junk food like crisps, tacos, burgers.
    I have not been diagnosed diabetic nor with PCOS

    i noticed when i had no carbs in my diet i lost fast but when i introduced carbs as suggested by the dietitian everything came on hold

    I NEED SOME SIGN THAT I AM NOT IN AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE OR A LONG DREAM!!!
    Cos it feels pointless having done the surgery not to be an effective tool

    Anyone in a similar predicament before
