So I have been dieting up and down to 355 pounds for about 7 years.... everytime I have had any succes I make it to almost exactly 313 pounds. That is the lowest I have been in 11 years. So guess where I have been stalled for the last 10 days, you guessed it 313. It is killing me to see that same dreaded number!! I know I will beat it this time BUT COME ON!!! couldn't I have stalled at 299?

I know that feeling. The same thing happened to me. Just stick with it!!! If need, increase exercise to help push you over that hill. You got this!

I have read several times on VST that people seem to stall at their "stable" weights in life and for me it was true. I am at my "old" lowest band weight and have been for 3 weeks. I just keep plugging away, changing my calorie intake some days and exercising more.

No worries! There is no way that you will be stuck there forever (although right now it feels like it) That 299 is well on its way!!

I have been at my "stable weight" for 2 weeks now! You're not alone, my Nut said to continue following all the rules and the weight will start to drop again

One tthing that I have done when my weight has stalled in the past is vary the exercises, switch the order of the exercises, increase or decrease the weight and reps, among other things. I know with me, my body gets immune to things very quickly. So I always have to change things up. This even goes for my medications as well. Sometimes you have to put your body into shock to jump it into gear. Keep up the good work and you will reach your goal with your head held high.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
