13 months out no loss for 6 weeks... Is it over?



Recommended Posts

Hello. I had by RNY on Aug 26, 2015, and I weighed 31 preop. I currently weigh between 195 and 198 and have been stuck here for about 6 weeks. I lost fairly slowly, but now I am scared that it is over. I never really had a plateau until now. I eat mainly low carb and high Protein. Lately I have been eating Peanut Butter, which may be my problem. I have also just started walking on a treadmill daily, I did not really exercise much before. Will I continue to lose for a couple more months, or is this kind of it for me/ Thank you so much!

I am 3 years post-op. This is my impression of the "Maintenance" phase. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery2.pdf

Thank you. I Guess I need to just keep at it and really count my calories a bit more.

i would find alternatives to Peanut Butter because there is so much fat, if you must, almond butter is better... but greek yogurt is a good alternative, chicken breast has a high Protein count....mozzarella cheese sticks-light for a snack. pinterest has alot of good ideas..check it out.

Thank you for the ideas. I will give up the Peanut Butter. It is funny, because my NUT told me to have it with apples as a snack and I could have it every day. Now that I think about it, I pretty much stalled about a week after I started that.

Just keep eating right and exercising and you will still lose weight. I'm 16 months out and still losing. I'm only 1 lb from reaching my goal. I've had some major stalls. One was almost 2 months long, but eventually it will start moving again. Don't give up!

How are you doing at getting in all of your Protein and fluids?

I am actually struggling to get all my Protein in. I get my fluids though.

Try upping your protein. Eat protein first and avoid added sugars (especially high fructose corn syrup). Starches, and fried foods. You may want to increase your fluids, too.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
