Ok no weight loss in 2 weeks. Im scared because Ive been working out harder than before. Have I reached my plateau? Ok I do have PCOS and I know with this their will be many ups and downs. Plus my journey is fairly new. But Im kind of nervous now. What things can I do to get over this hump? Also what things can I do to get rid of this mid section. My legs and arms are down to where I want them but this midsection isnt going any where. I told my trainer this and she says thats what usually happens first. I dont want to be walking around shaped weirdly.

If you have or dont have pcos can you tell me the things you did to loose your midsection.

Thank you!

2 weeks isn't much of a plateau and yes, you are only in the beginning of your journey. Many more miles ahead for you.

If you are working out harder than before you may need to adjust your calorie intake up a little bit. I had the same issue. I was working out twice a day and the scale was not moving. I added a little more calories to my diet and was down 2.8lbs this last week.

I was working out twice a day & eating between 900-1100 calories and the scale was not moving. Last week I worked out the same, cardio in the morning and weight lifting in the afternoon. I started eating 1400-1700 calories, still healthy foods, and lost 2.8lbs.

If I really limit my carbs then I usually have a big loss that week. Follow my lap band blog www.biscuitsandexcuses.blogspot.com

You know, I lost 12 lbs after surgery and then nothing for the next 3.5 months. Then I had a nutrition consult that turned it all around for me. I thought I was eating right but my nut corrected me. Glad I spent the time and money. Getting my 4th fill helped too. Plateau's suck, but you should be measuring yourself to see if you're losing inches? Replacing fat with muscle will make the scale stall but it's a good stall.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
