I think I've hit a plateau.



Recommended Posts

Hi all. I was banded in November and have since then lost right at 60 lbs. With that being said, I have now been at the same weight for three weeks and the scale doesn't seem to wanna move. My nutritionist put me on a diet of 1265 calories per day and I was wondering if maybe I need to eat more? I'm honestly not sure what to do at this point. I'm exercising 5 days a week and always making smart food choices and not sure where I'm going wrong! Anyone with some advice that could be helpful would be great.

Thanks!

Try eating more. Up it to 1365 and re-assess in a week to 2 weeks. No one here can tell you specifically what's going on. In most cases you're either undereating or overeating. With exercise I'd try 1365 or somewhere around there.

How much Water do you drink a day? I noticed when I stalled that if I increased my water intake to 100 oz. it made a difference. Maybe up calories and water intake.

I am at a 68 pound loss, but had my surgery July 2009, so hang in there. For me I think I need to exercise more and drink the required amount of fluids that do not include sugar or pop.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
