I am at the 6 month mark and have lost 90 pounds but I have been stalled for 4 week. I am exercising, not eating carbs., mostly Protein, cottage cheese, yogurt, Protein Shakes, 1oz of nuts, not much of anything else.

I completely understand and my best advise to you is mix it up !! Change your food and work out routine ! I was exactly at the same place as you ! You need to add some food and def drink 60-90 ounces of Water a day . Your body knows what to expect now so that's the need to change it up and you will start to see results again . Be prepared that they may be slower results but none the less results

Your body will go through stalls over time to sort of rest up and give you time to mentally catch up. If the stall goes on a long time, try mixing things up. Add more Protein or more fat to your diet or change up your exercise routine. Anything that is different can break a stall and bring on weight loss. Also you are reaching the point where your loss will slow down. You won't have the big jumps anymore, but you will have a slower more predictable loss like someone on a conventional diet would. I'm a yr and a half out now and my weight loss is like 2lbs a month if that. I'm not cheating my heart out, but things slow down the further out you get and you still have to stay on top of it.

thank you, I am trying to walk more and I am drinking plenty of Water. The issue is, I am unable to eat a variety of food. I am little by little adding in food, but I can only handle cottage cheese, Protein Shakes, ground turkey, yogurt. sea food, beef, chicken make me sick.

Just give it time, and keep trying things every once in awhile. For about the first year, I couldn't eat any kind of chicken or pork. I still can't eat pork, but I've improved over time to be able to eat chicken in certain preparations, but still not in all the ways i used to. It takes awhile for your body to learn to process Foods differently. In general, if something bothers you, wait a month or two and then try it again. Try it with a sauce, a marinade, or another preparation and see if it handles better.

      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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
