I am 9 months post op and I've lost 80lbs the only problem is that in the past 3 months I haven't lost a thing! I know this is partially due to my habits. So, how do I recover and kick start my weight loss again? I have 40 more to go to my goal weight and I'd like to get there but I can't seem to figure out how to break this stall. I don't know what calories I should be taking in etc. I did join a gym and was doing really well with going until I got a new job and I've been working 6 12 hr night shifts a week....this will hopefully be changing soon.... I'm thankful I haven't gained but I'm flustered I'm not losing either.

Also I have so saggy lose skinny (nothing over the top) do you think with weight/resistance training this will tighten up? It's mainly the tops of my thighs that bother me, my stomach is to be expected since I have kids....

Your further out then me, but I broke my stall by doing the "boot camp". If you search this site you can find the thread, but it's basically protein...protein...protein! You can also have green leafy veggies, AFTER you eat the Protein. & you must hydrate, shoot for min 64 oz of water/day! Good luck!

The saggy skin really depends on the individual and your age. After 35 with collagen we're pretty much done for, unfortunately. Umm, picture a balloon that's been inflated and then deflated. That's the skin. It's been stretched out for so long it never goes back to the same original shape. That's not to say that cardio and weights won't help to shapen. Absolutely! I know, with my personal experience that I've been overweight the majority of my life. My skin is so stretched that it'll be surgery for me. You can have rock hard abs, but if the skin is loose over it then you'll end up with a rock hard core..with loose skin over it :wacko: But, before you think I'm a complete jerk and negative-Nellie..remember that I said everyone is different. Btw, I hold my weight in my thighs, hips and pelvis as well. Women are meant to have curves, right? ;)

I'm new-ish and hadn't heard about boot camp. I'll go look at that now! I was thinking personally about kicking myself back into gear by doing a few full liquid days (obviously making sure I have enough Protein and meet minimum calorie needs) to get myself out of the cycles I'm in right now. I'm good at "You can't have this at all. Ever" I'm bad at "You can have this! In small quantities! Yay moderation!" uh... no. Eat ALL THE THINGS! Moderation is so tough.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
