I am 11 months out of surgery and 90 lbs down. I am at a stall. The biggest stall ever. I have not lost a pound in like 3 months.. I have fluctuated up and down like 3 lbs.. We have just bought a house.. Moved and now my oldest starts preschool,, :( I need suggestions in how to get back on track and I haven't been as active as I was prior to moving. My elliptical doesn't fit in my new house.. We can't get it thru the door.. Any door :( .. I am open for anything and everything.. My eating habits have gotten worse and I find myself snacking more than I should. I just want to lose 20 more lbs and I am not using my tool properly and need to not fall back into old habits.

What is your weight? Still focused on Proteins first? Still drinking a LOT of liquids? ??

A lot of people who are further out talk about the 5 day pouch test.

My sw was 258 and I am between 168-171.. I am probably not drinking as much as I should be. I have noticed that and I am still on top of my Protein but you are right I'm not drinking as much as I should be.

I don't think you need to put yourself through the pouch test.

Dont take it wrong but you have your answer in your post. Your eating habits are worsening and you aren't exercising as much. Water and sleep are essential.

Measure your door to your elliptical, if you just need to take the door off the joints you can do that easily. If not conact the manufacturer and get the instructions on partial disassembly. You may need to bring the elliptical in on the side, feeding the back in, and then turning that a bit and sliding the height in after the based is hooked past the door (the best I can think to explain).

Get all bad habit foods out of the house, "anything you would not have had in the first 3 months, you shouldn't have now" to quote a very sucessful sleever.

In the meantime, walk, walk, walk, walk.

Good luck. This is a lifestlye for you now, not a diet, focus on that and make long-term mindful decisions about what you will and will not eat any longer.

Thank you and I don't take it the wrong way. My eating habits have been really bad lately and I catch myself snacking. Back to basics it is.. Even tho I know this its still something sometimes you need brought to your attention. As for the elliptical, that's a fantastic idea. We tried the front and the back door and did take them off but we couldn't maneuver it around the entrance way. The partial disassembly is fantastic and never thought about that. It's a 250 lb machine and I love love love this thing! Lol thanks again

Try little changes...walk your child to school and home each day. Get a pedometer. Go walk at the mall or on the high school track. If you have a dog, don't just put them outside to do their business...take them for a quick walk. Move move move. I am 8.5 months out, and exercise is absolutely key to my personal success. Also, I totally agree with Pookeyism...if you couldn't eat it at 3 months then get it out of the house. If I know something is in my house, I feel like I have to eat it...I crave it if I know it is there. If we have guests and I make food I normally wouldn't or if I buy soda or something, I send it home with them. Out of sight out of mind, right?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
