SW:286 I am still trying to learn how to eat However I walk daily and take in as much water & Protein as I can. Oh! I’ll post a current photo[emoji18]

There are two phases to weight loss surgery, the weight loss phase and the maintenance phase. For RNY gastric bypass patients, the strategy for these two phases is different. You may be nearing the maintenance phase. I transitioned to maintenance at around 7 months. The following article provides my perception of the maintenance phase. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery2.pdf

You don't have to be in maintenance if you don't want to be.

It's easy to get "calorie creep" that slows losses. Be sure to track for several days to see where you're at. You want to stay below 1200 to keep the scale moving.

Stalls can still happen for a week or two.. so if your calories are in line, then that may be what is going on.

You're lookin' great!

Thank you so much!!!! I will keep that in mind watching my calories have been kind of hard for me to do because I been working 2 full time jobs but been focusing on not GAINING!!! But I will definitely start trying to count my calories.

It can be a stall if you are getting the right amount of protein & water but not too many carbs plus the right amount of exercising. I am at just over 1 year & have been still losing & still having stalls. But I do log what I am eating & trying to stay under a 1000 calories.

Try not to make excuses, I am not being harsh, but taking responsibility and ownership is the only thing that will help you, yes you work full time jobs that must be hard, but before you have a pee before bed, weigh your food, put them in packages, then eat the same thing for a few days that simplifies it enough. It really is not a long winded afair. I am just being honest, not judging you, as I dont weigh my food unless things are not on track.
