Hello Everyone!

​My name is Megan. I had my surgery June 11, 2014. I lost my weight slow and had many stalls. About 5 months post-op is when my weight just stayed the same. It wouldn't budge. I was doing everything that I could and still it wouldn't go down. It is now nearing my 1 year anniversary and I'm still at 250. Don't get me wrong, I am glad that I'm not gaining any of the weight back, however, I'm still upset that I have stopped losing weight and that I am not at my "happy" (goal) weight...

Has anyone else had this problem? Having a stall lasting this long?

HW: 322

SW: 315

CW: 250

Are you weighing or measuring your portions and tracking your food? How many calories, carbs, and grams of Protein are you getting each day? Are you meeting your goals for fluids? Do you find yourself snacking or grazing? Are you getting enough sleep?

I'm in a stall... 2 months and counting. But I admit, my life is in compete and utter upheaval right now. I do not graze but I snack, and I don't get enough sleep, my insomnia is coming back, I've been fighting depression due to a devastating financial loss, and my family has been through so much this year...

I know that my stall is due heavily to home issues, and so are my diet choices...I haven't emotionally eaten in YEARS and I caught myself doing it last week.

Are you having any significant life problems that could be affecting you?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
