Think i have hit a brick wall



Recommended Posts

I had a small fill 3 weeks ago. Now I'm setting at a dead stop, no weight loss in several days, I have steadily been loosing since my surg on 12-12-12 lost a total of 50 , but now scales r not moving. Routine still the same, still on treadmill daily, ( can even run now!) any suggestions on how to kick it in gear again??

What is your calorie intake daily? We all hit these roadblocks. Keeping doing the right things and it will move again.

I felt like I was stalling a little and I added a Protein shake to my morning. I have that at 7am and now have my greek yogurt at 9am. Seems to have helped!

Ditto to what Mis73 said. It's not realistic to expect to lose every day. Just keep doing what you are doing and it will catch up.

I feel like I have been losing slow from the very beginning. It's never been constant! I know we are all different, but it frustrates me to read on here and see fast weight loss right after surgeries. I don't have restriction yet and i'm really trying to be patient, but it's S-L-O-W!! It helps to be on here, it keeps me motivated.

Thanks all!!

It's a normal thing to have plateaus. Remember, you didn't gain every day and you won't lose everyday. Follow the rules and you will get to your goal. Don't lose Heart!

It may not be realistic to loose everyday BUT since surgery I have been loosing everyday. And now I'm not :(. And I know I will have ups and downs but dang I'm ready to get off the last 35 lbs!!! I'm impatient I know :(. May go get another tiny fill :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
