Post op 6 months

Just curious if anyone has had this issue. I'm post op 6 months now and only lost for the first 2 months. I didn't have very much I needed to lose but dont know why I haven't lost in months!! Im feeling discouraged and dont know if something is wrong. In those 2 months I only lost 22 pounds. Is or has anyone gone through this and what is your typical diet???

I am right there with you. I lost exactly back to ,y Lapband weight and am not budging. I am trying to increase my exercise. I put my scales away and go by clothes these days.

I'm 6 months out too...I've been stalled for months :( I thought I was the only one. I am so discouraged at this point. I've even tried going back to liquids for a bit. Still the same so I feel your pain !

Have you been exercising? I'll be 6 months out in a few days, and have had great results, but I attribute that to a rigorous workout schedule. Don't get discouraged, but try exercising more. It has to work!

Thank you all for replying! I'm going to speak with a nutritionist from my place of surgery and see what she says. I dont know if Im over eating or undereating. The question seems easy to ask myself but I dont know what is normal with eating!!

Does anyone eat just a small amount of something but in 30 min or so is hungry again??

What is your typical daily caloric intake? Do you exercise?

Maybe you need to change things up a bit to jump start your weightloss. I know that your body gets "comfortable" at a certain set point. Sometimes you need to confuse it to get things started again. Some of the vets are doing the 5:2 diet, but I believe that for sleevers more than a year out.

I was stalling more and more so I started the 5daypouchtest.com I was 204lbs for like 2 weeks then after my theist was over I went to 199lbs Onerdland. Yay

But it mostly cut my craving for Sliders like Popcorn, cashews, and Protein from fast foods. I learned to eat better and not like I'm already in maintenance. I've been eating like that for a few months. Lol

Then afterwards I guess that diet put me into ketosis because I lost faster afterwards.

Even you can re examine what you eat look for slider foods and just go back to basics.

If your BMI is really a 27, you are definately at the point where your gonna have to work for it!!!!!! That is a dream BMI for most of us. I can understand your want to loose just a bit more though. I agree going back to basics, shakes and lean protien and increase workout schedule and intensity should help you. Everytime I start stalling even just a bit I do this and the scales start moving again.
