Almost a year out and 4/5 week stall

I know stalls are normal after wls however I have only ever stalled for around 7-10days max before, I'm currently on stall week 5!!

I do have 'little treats/cheats' I'm not 100% perfect but I'm always within my daily intake allowances/recommendations but my dr encouraged this as this for me is a lifestyle change one I can withstand long term.

I eat 850-950 calories a day around 50-60g of protein - so do you think I should up this to increase/jump start my weight loss? My nut recommends that by 18/24 month out I should be stabilised at around 1200 calories.

I cannot do structured exercise due to being a electric wheelchair user but I do try and move as much as possible to help burn calories.

Also today I ate 9 oz in one meal is this a lot?? At this point how many oz can you eat, as I feel I can eat way more than I expected? For example Last week I asked my sister to fix me breakfast and asked for 2 weetibix yet after I finished and remarked that I was surprised I'd eaten it all she said oh it was actually 3 as they had broken and I wasn't putting one back! Needless to say I will not be asking ANYONE to make me food again. Anyway I'm just surprised I couldn't tell I'd eaten 3 (mushed up) and wasn't even at my full can't eat another bite level!

My stats are;
Sleeved on 13 July 16
5ft 2
Sw: 275lbs
Cw: 193

I get the frustration. I regularly stalled. I had some three week ones, a six week and a nine week one in my initial 17 month loss period. It took that long to lose 107 pounds. Then, post baby (I got pregnant two years post op) it took 14 months to lose 27 pounds. Do that math! :D

I know you want to beat your head on the wall. But really, short of upping protein slightly, or drinking more water, the best way through a stall is just forward. They break. It's painful. But they end. Nothing I did ever made a magical change, UNLESS the reason I wasn't losing was my eating habits had slipped.

If that's the case, you know the fix. But you sound solid.

Good luck. It's tough. You'll get there.

Also, I'm 5'1", was sleeved at 242, but started researching sleeve at 286. We're of a similar starting point. I'm 118 now, original goal of 135. Don't give up!
