7 Month Plateau



Recommended Posts

You name it I have tried it over the past 7 months. More Protein, no carb, more exercise, the nutritionist, a fill, less food, weighing and measuring food, food diary, a pedometer, medication changes, a week of "pre op" all over again. I'm not sure what else to try. Ideas? Perhaps it's natures way of telling me I'm just not meant to be thin? Surgery was over a yr and a half ago and still hover at 50 pounds lost. No where near what I had hoped for. Anyone trying Rasberry Ketones?

That would be so frustrating! Are you seeing changes in other areas like inches lost, changes in your clothing sizes, improved mobility, endurance etc. When the scales get stuck, it helps to recognise other areas of success.

Good luck on getting the scales moving again, but also a huge congratulations on your 50lbs lost!

Have you had your thyroid checked, do you have any allergies? Gosh, I really feel for you. I can't think of anything else you should do, you seemed to have done it all. Good luck.

It happens. I was in a six month plateau. It was my fault. I didn't eat very healthy. I just kept my portions down and I exercised occasionally. I finally decided to get back on track last week and I have lost 6 pounds since then. No more slacking off for me.

I have it a plateau as well. It is very frustrating considering it's only been 5 months since surgery and I've only lost 50lbs. I know I shouldn't say "only" but I was expecting more. The positive is at least I'm not gaining and I feel great.

I recently plateaued for about 2 months. I am 10-mos post-op and have lost 96 lbs. I'm approaching my target weight.....but I was discouraged that I was stopped just short. (14 lbs left to go)

I got a fill last week and have lost 3 lbs.

Maybe that's all that is needed.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
