Omgoodness i am in the same boat. Same situation. My Water intake could be a bit more I must say, my Protein is good and so is exercise. Even trying to up my water... which is hard, I'm drinking about 1/2 to 3/4 gallon. Sometimes I feel like I cannot take it.

Call your dr! We were taught in class that if you have a stall then to relax and know it happens!

Then:

-track your food for every meal

-track your Water every day and get the full 64 Oz in

-track your Protein

-track your exercise

Make changes to any part of the above that are not where they should be.

Then I hear everyone say to increase your exercise with something new while still doing what you were doing before.

I started kick boxing and I also walk. If I hit a stall then I plan to run my stairs and do my PiYo DVD workout.

Same boat here. I have been between 159-161 for a month. I exercise 6x a week and do intervals etc. I'm thinking my Protein has been lacking a bit. I am going back to tracking with my fitness pal and getting my protein in before anything else. Stalls are no fun.

Many times that I was stuck in a stall I would up my calorie intake and would start to lose again. Sounds odd but works.

Stalls are a normal, necessary, and natural part of the process.

Make sure you are getting in all of your Protein and fluids.

Try shaking up your routine. Try a different kind of exercise. Vary your calories.

If you are still unhappy with your progress or even just impatient, why not make an appointment with your NUT?

Embrace the Stall!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
