Plateau? Help!



Recommended Posts

I am almost 8 months out from sleeve surgery. I am down 103 lbs. I seem to be stalled at this weight for the last three weeks. I go to the gym 4-6 times a week and have a similar food intake as I have had for months. I don't want to get frustrated because I have come a long way but I am frustrated and nervous. Any help is appreciated.

I'm with you. I am just keeping up with my healthy plan. Plateau's have been on and off with the process. I'm also in my eighth month they seem to be harder to break.

Me too! I have only lost about 3 lbs in the last 2 months. It is so much harder when you get closer to your goal weight. Mh trainer said to do a reset. Change your workout up. Add some different things or change the sequence. As far as diet, maybe do a few liquid only days.

So frustrating! I'm there with you. The first 80 seems to fall off (I had a few stalls at around 50 lbs, and then again at 75 lbs. lost) and a friend of mine who teaches Physical Education classes at the college level, suggested that I add a few calories two days a week (not junk calories, healthy calories, which for me meant adding a Protein shake before bed). And that helped break the latest plateau. Next time this happens, I'm going to make sure that my journaling is accurate!

      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!
