I'm down 140 lbs, been sitting at 165 for almost a year. I can't seem to lose the last 15 to reach my goal of 150. My two year surgiversary is in February. Any one battle this problem? I've tried calorie restrictions, the 5 day pouch test, liquids diet. I just can't get down! So frustrating! I am happy to how far I've come and most days I still feel 300.i just don't know if this is where my body is most comfortable.

no advice, only 5 months in. but you look fantastic.

Well thank you so much! Congrats on your surgery!

You look awesome. Just keep it up and you will get there. I switched up some of what I was eating to break my stall. I went right at a month before I started losing again

Wow, wow, and did I say WOW? You look fantastic!!! Do you have any before photos? Great job pretty lady

Sooooo embarrassing lol

@@blondedreamer84 it just gives people encouragement to dig in and work

I'm in the same boat! It stinks. Wish I could help... I'm over three years post op

OMG! What a transition. You look fabulous. Congrats. I don't know what to say about the last 15lbs. I just hit my last 15lbs too, only hit a small platueu in Oct where i went up and down two lbs for three weeks.

You look fabulous, congrats on your success so far!

Just a question--- why are those last 15 pounds so important? You wear a size small, are clearly "normal" BMI. I'm sure any health problems are resolved. Why do you need the last 15 vanity pounds? Check out the what defines success thread!

That said, if they are that important to you... Google 5:2 intermittent fasting or look for threads on that here. It's helped a lot of vets lose those last stubborn pounds.

Thank you all so much! I will look that up!

Great story! Thanks for sharing I have my RNY this Wednesday

Congrats! You look great! Any advice on how to be successful post op? I have surgery in 2 weeks and I so concerned with not losing all that I need to lose. You show me that it is possible. What things do you wish you knew before?

not directed to me, but good luck! follow your plan, and you should be successful. i wish i knew from the beginning that stalls are normal...you will have periods of losing then not, maybe even gaining a little. don't let that discourage you! check how your clothes feel, take pictures, hide the scale if it proves to be a burden and just weigh yourself once a week or so. i hop on the scale daily purely out of habit, but since i know my body's rhythm, it doesn't freak me out to see a stall.
