Does anyone have any suggestions or things that have worked for them when they hit a plateau to break it and restart the losing cycle. I have hit a plateau and have not lost in about 2 weeks... it is VERY discouraging. Any suggestions would be welcome!!! :)

Up until this past week I hadn't lost any weight for about 6 weeks. I don't really know how you are doing with your eating, but I was eating more than I should and snacking. I have started eating right again, having a Protein Shake for Breakfast, Soup for lunch, and small portions of what ever I fix for dinner. I've already lost about 4lbs. since last week. I hope this helps.

without knowing what your food intake or exercise routine is...it's kinda hard to say. One of my bandster buddies (LESSJESS is her username) just did the 5 day pouch test and she lost 9 pounds.

I have not tried it yet.

What is a 5 day pouch test?

Basically it is like a mini pre-op diet. It's designed to jump start your weight loss again and to help you find your restriction.

You should be able to find several threads under food & nutrition, or just google 5 day pouch test. here is the website.

I tried the 5dpt and a couple of my band friends on here, we all did loose it was nice right before our fill.. but then once we ate again, it all came back. It took me 9 days to get back down to where i was after the pouch test..

My recommendation is start your food log again, and post it on here either in the "what i ate" or in a group of friends thread. I personally feel that is what has got me loosing again. Im loosing steadily again.

Good luck! Also ther is a plateu buster diet on here for bandsters.. Plateau Buster Diet Questions

the 5day pouch test is also a diet for RNY patients.. It was made my Gastric patients and is meant for them. Yeah it helps us loose weight but we absorb more then them BY FAR so it only makes since why its not a long term loss unless u kick ur a** right afterwards:D

Try changing your workout routine, increase it, try eating afew more cals for a few days and than go back to your normal. If you are walking change it up and ride a bike, if you bike try swimming. Your body is getting use to the routine you have now so change it up in some way and your body will respond by losing weight again. Good luck

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
