Update. Stall finally broke after increasing water n decreasing protein shake from 2 to 1 per day. I’m got to 231 but it’s starting again. Today I’m 233. So I know now that I have to watch the foods n keep track n increase the water. Thks for all the support.

My dietician also told me about Blogilates for Pilates exercise. It’s a great free site of YouTube videos by Cassey Ho. The videos r upbeat n the cool thing is u can watch tv while doing them if u use your phone to watch the videos. U can download the free app. Majority videos r free n only last 10 minutes or so. She even has a fitness calendar u can print w designated work out videos per day. So no thought needed. Register w the site so u can get the calendars n then go on your phone and add the videos to your favorites within the Blogilates app. Easy. I can do the videos while I’m watching my favorite tv shows. I just love it. I’m starting the Beginner 28 day calendar today.

@ Avery’s Mom congrats to u. My STALL BROKE!! I’m so happy!! I’m 231.9 today and had been between 240 n 237 back n forth since December. The plan is working!

I went to see another dietician today, the other one wasn’t helpful. This one was so thorough n found that yes my calorie in take was high but she thinks the issue is too much protein n not enough healthy carbs. She said my metabolism is slowing so I need to decrease protein from 95 to 75 per day. She said that reduction would ultimately lead to reduction in calories. Strangely said my carbs should be no more than 80 but only from fresh fruits n veggies for the whole day. She also said my water needs to increase from 52oz to way over 64oz per day. She said I need to do some form of exercise daily n recommended doing a short 8 minute video daily just to stay moving n then build from there. She also gave me a link to review a graph of the projected amount to be lost after wls based on my preop weight. It showed that I should lose 100lbs over 12-15 months. I’ve lost 56 since surgery total pre n post loss 71lbs. She said I was doing well despite the scale n my feelings n said w these changes she was confident the scale would start moving again. She has me working on 1 goal this week n that is to increase the fluids n decrease the protein. Then next wk I do 8 minute workouts daily n to continue the 1 day of exercise for 40 minutes I was already doing. She was wonderful. I’m to follow up in a month for a weight check. She said on the high end I can set a goal to lose 8lbs by then. So I’m going to try for it. I’m renewed again.

@ Lolo don’t know. I don’t measure calories just portion size. But someone on YouTube said that cycling helped so I think I may try that along e your water suggestion before bed. Thks.

@DanaC84 OMG!! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for to help me understand what’s happening n various changes that I can try. THANK U THANK U!!

It’s been going on since December. N I’m afraid to decrease the food because I’m already starving on the amount I eat. I’ve cut back on snacks n nothing. Snacks were yogurt n cheese wrapped in cheese. I even work out 1-3 times a wk. it just frustrating u know. I’ve stalled before at 2 months post op n it didn’t last but a stall 7 months out n lasting for almost 3 months is crazy.

@ED Thks. I keep hearing about the rest but my dr n dietician have stated they don’t agree w that practice n advised against it but I think Monday I’m going to do it for a couple of days. My surgery was in July 2018 n my weight has been the same since Dec.

I didn’t realize they were all connected. I did that because I figured there were others like me who don’t follow ALL forums. But thks anyway.

Sorry

Need advice or suggestions for breaking a long stall.

Looking for advice suggestions for breaking a stall pls.

I I don’t count calories. Maybe I should start. I don’t even know how many I should have daily. I don’t want to be in maintenance already. It seems like everyone else is losing monthly. I’m going to the dietician again next week. Maybe u r right, I’m eating too much.

Siggi’s has some sugar but no artificial sweeteners so some prefer a little bit of carbs over artificial sweeteners. I eat Siggi’s daily but don’t eat many other carbs so it works for me.

I like Siggi’s and Icelandic. They have very high protein n not a lot of sugar. No artificial sweeteners. Light n Fit crunch Greek yogurt is good when u can chew.
