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.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
