Hello all,

It seems that I have come to a plateau and would like some advice and or words of encouragement so that I can get back on track. I had lower limb surgery in December which has caused me to be less active in my daily life activity. I know this is what has caused my weight loss to stop and I’m confident I’ve gained ~3 to 5lbs. I don’t want to lose hope and I want to continue my weight loss progress successfully. If anyone has any advice on how to get back on track it would truly be appreciated.

Thank you.

Hang in there! Stalls are normal for everyone. For me with the less activity, I would keep my Protein up but lower my calories. Actually I would call the nutritionist on my bypass team and ask for ideas. Remember this gastric bypass aid is for learning a new lifestyle. Its not an overnight thing. I had my gbs two years ago and I still have 30 lbs to reach goal weight. Hang in there Babe!

Hello Valerie, thank you so much for your kind words! I have been keeping a low calorie count, but I have not been consuming as much Protein as I should. I wish you the best of luck on the rest of your journey...Xo

Protein, call the dr and do some new arm upper body work outs if you can of course. Pinterest has some great ideas on how to get your heart pumping even while sitting. I know it can be hard and it might even feel like damn i made a step forward and bam 15 steps back, but remember you can do this every day that you stay on track is a victory and every time you make a mistake is an opportunity to change you got this!!!!!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
