I was stalled all of month 6...not one stinkin pound. I stayed on plan and joined a gym. Finally the scale started moving again. It's discouraging, but eventually they break and the weight continues to come off.

The frustration of a stall is very real. The best bet thing to do is to just review your habits. Try a food tracking app if you don't already. review the Water you are getting in, the sleep (sleep is really important). Get away from any of the foods we tend to let slip back in, the miscellaneous breads and grains - nutritionally they do almont nothing and provide no nutrients or Fiber that cannot be gained somewhere else.

People love to hear a calorie is a calorie, there for a pund is a pound. This is so very untrue. Just as anyone who has ever noticed the gas mileage in a car drop as it goes along, can relate to a calorie in vs. calorie out just is not how this works.

search the topics already in here, there are several with many good ideas. You will break your stall.

You are probably losing inches anyway, btw!!!

I feel I am in the same boat. Overlooking my diet. I just stopped eating. I know now were supposed to eat 6 times a day small. I still am not eating as well plus the Water intake and my Vitamin intake isn't consistent. I'm not sure if you have same issues???? I still have no energy. So tomorrow I am starting to log... it may help :) I think I'm just scared to eat it makes me uncomfortable still.....

I hear you. I'm not eating 6 small meals. More like 3 or 4. But I make sure to drink 1-2 Protein Shakes a day & take my Vitamins.

When I eat I get horrible reflux. It makes me not want to eat.

And like you, I have little energy or tire easily. It's hard for me to walk because I have a bad knee & neck, but I am doing arm toning with light weights.

Hi. Here's an update. I saw my Dr weeks ago & we discussed my stall. She said, get this, I WASN'T EATING ENOUGH. First time in my life I heard that. Anyway I did what she said and now I'm loosing regularly. I'm down 47 lbs since May. Went from size 20 to a 14. Dr said eat 6 times a day. The day I started that I started loosing. She also said no more shakes. Make your stomach work to digest the food, it's a muscle and it has to move. I have no problem getting my Protein with regular food and eat every 3 hrs.

      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.

      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!
