I am 1 year post op and have lost 105 pounds. Yay me!!! My problem is I still want to lose 25 pounds and I on a major plateau. I have not lost any weight in months. How do I get the weight loss going again? How many meals should I replace with Protein Drinks? How many calories should I take in? Thanks in advance for any comments left!!!

Have you been excersizing?

Forget calories replace 2 meals with Proteins shakes or shots and one light meal at dinner

its quality over quantity and counting calories will just tempt you to eat bad calories so look on your plate and you can easily judge whats good or bad.....even though we act like we dont sometimes. I myself have lost 150lbs Without surgery.....then gained it back 4 years later due to depression,so ive been thru every diet on this big green and blue ball

And I wish you the best of luck on getting out of this plateu

Hey, you still have your sleeve and it will get you moving again. I suggest looking up "The Basic Bootcamp Diet" by LilMissDiva and get back to pure basics. that means all liquids for a couple of days etc. This will help get past the sugar cravings etc. Basically, it's going low carb and high Protein. It does get us jump started. I have about 10 lbs to loss for my goal of 140 lbs and it's slow as molasses, but I will get there. Hang in there and keep your diet high protein and low carb from here on out. This is a life time practice. :)

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
