I really need help getting on track again.

I had Gastric Bypass in March 2016

My surgery weight was 476 Pounds

For the first year the weight came off

I have been stalling for the last 6 Months which my weight has been more or less constant.

My current weight is 279pounds

Any advise will be greatly appreciated to kick start the weight loss again

Ahhhmazing!!!! You are doing fabulously!!

The biggest thing that happens is "calorie creep". Take a week and log every single little thing that you eat/drink. You might be surprised how much you are now eating compared to last year.

If you are eating 1500 calories or less and not losing, then make sure your doctor has done a good physical on you. Your thyroid levels could be out of whack. (Or something like that).

What does your exercise look like?

You have worked hard to get your results. Congratulations on your weight loss. The further out from surgery the slower the weight loss. Look at all you have done already. You can do this~!!!

I'm three years out getting back on track (I had a gain)

Go back to bariatric basics hit your Protein goals. low carb, Get vegetables in to feel full. Hydrate Hydrate Hydrate!

log meals in myfitnesspal. (or any food log app)

Evaluate your workout. Change it up. Never do the same workout over and over. Increase resistance as you go.

All I can say is congratulations on losing close to 200lbs. The most important question, how is your health? I'm sure losing close to 200lbs had a positive effect on your health.

after that long, you're probably in maintenance. If you want to lose more, you'll have to cut your calories. Log everything you eat....and weigh and measure things like meat, cheese, etc. Portion creep is real. I know I'll have to weigh, measure, and track for the rest of my life, or I'll start gaining weight.

Congrats on your amazing results.

You have gotten some great advise already. If your diet is okay, you need to check your Vitamin levels. If you are not loosing, you might not be supplementing right or enough.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
