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!!!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
