believe it or not sometimes you need to up your calories to get the scale moving. Sounds bad, but it works. Good luck

Agreed. I plateaued and I exercise 6 days a week, yet I was only eating 1200 calories. I realized my deficit was away to big. I've been slowly upping my calories, 1400, 1500, now at 1600. Guess what it worked. Losing better than ever. Give it a shot, I was scared to do it.

I'm not really upping anything in particular, but one think I've done is I have upped my Protein by adding in a Protein Drink. I also aged in a trail mix, so upped healthy fats in the form of nuts. I had been slacking on protein and only getting like 70 gm, no I try to aim for 120 minimum.

      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!!
