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!!!!!

Thank you so much for your encouraging words. I will look for those exercises on Pinterest!!
