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.

You look great!!! Well done! I reckon go back to basics too. Sounds like a great plan. Keep going and let us know how you’re doing. Also exercise... step that up from whatever you’re doing now. You are doing so good [emoji16]

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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
