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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
