I had my surgery at 290 lbs in Mexico July 3rd 2014.
No complications, no issues.
I lost weight slowly, but steadily for about 5 months going down to 240 lbs.
I'm stuck. I've been here despite what I eat. I mean it, I've had days of eating all cupcakes (being sarcastic) to days of having nothing but Water and Protein shakes and the scales do no budge. Heck I've put the scales up. I've increased exercise/decreased exercise. I've gone heavy protein, low carb/low fat. I've increased/decreased calories. I've logged every bite to not logging at all. I've done everything I can to switch it up.
But i'm stuck at 240. It's almost comical.
I have another 60 lbs to go!!!!
This isn't even something you can technically call a stall anymore. I had my surgery in mexico and do check in time to time with my surgeon and nutritionist who say just go back to the basics with shakes and such to jump start it. Apple a day kick start plan. water and steak day.... I've tried it all. Is there anyone else out there like me who it just STOPPED????
I can at least say, I've not gained one pound. Ever... since surgery. But now i'm just not moving at all. And no, it's not my thyroid.
