I had my surgery in June of 2013. I have lost a total of 102 pounds. I started at 330 and am now at 228. For the past month I have been stuck at between 230 and 228. I am currently at 1300 calories. My doctor told me to go up to 1500 calories. I did that for about 2 weeks and it seems like that was the culprit. I recently put my calories back at 1300. It still does not seem to work. My weight is staying about the same. I still want to lose about 28 pounds to get down to 200 pounds. What should i do different? Any help would be appreciated.

I also walked on the treadmill for about two miles a day.

Since keeping your calories the same doesn't work, and bumping your calories up doesn't work, I would try lowering your calories. Maybe go down to 1100 or 1050 and see if that helps. You might also want to check out the Veterans' forum here and look for the thread on 5:2 intermittent fasting -- looks like a lot of people do well with that. Good luck!

Maybe you could try the "Pouch Test" that the bypass patients do. I heard of sleeves trying it when they reached a stall and it working. I don't know too much about it so try Googling it. Just an idea.

I would keep on with eating healthy and wait it out. I went 5 weeks recently with no weight loss, then lost 5 lbs, and now not losing again. I am ignoring it. This too shall pass.

      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'. ???

        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!
