Ok, I've only lost about 1 pound in the past 6-weeks, I am still exercising and watching what I eat. The doctor told me I was not getting enough Protein, so for the past 2-weeks I've increased my protein by about 30 grams per day and guess what? I'm still only 1 pound down! I have had 2 fills and only at 3cc's in my 11cc band. When I go for the fill, he makes me drink and I feel stuck so he pulls some out and I can feel it go right down. I don't understand why I am at a stand still!! Any ideas?

I suggest light weight/high rep weight lifting.....and as much cardio as you can stand before you feel light headed.....(dont pass out though).....

I also workout early in the morning on an empty stomach....I see great benefit in that.....

I also do a lot of lightweight / high rep training and exercise bike, i was very insulin resistant so had to eat first and then exercise after to help my sugar levels. I eat around 1000 calories a day and eat 50 grm protien fresh food and no processed food . It does work for me but we are all different. Keeping a food dairy of calories in and calories burned is one way of seeing where u may be having problems, others on here use the fitness pal site. Sometimes its just a case of trial and error. I have been lucky and found a formula/mix of exercise and food that is working for me but if it stops before my goal i will try something different.

Some people can eat just small portions of 'normal' food and like me some can't , u mention u are 'watching' what u eat but u dont say what u are eating so maybe the clues are there. I do feel for you it must be very disappointing to not get the weight loss u want. Just keep at it and maybe wipe the slate clean and start over doing something different food wise and exercise wise, i know sometimes our bodies need a good shock to get them to do what we want them to.

I hope you find a solution :)

Whenever I hit a plateau I started doing a diet /exercise log. Just to see what the input/output was. I think each time it motivated me to get a fill even if it was a tiny one. I should have put exercise in quotes since I never did more than some dog walking...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
