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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
