7 Month Plateau



Recommended Posts

You name it I have tried it over the past 7 months. More Protein, no carb, more exercise, the nutritionist, a fill, less food, weighing and measuring food, food diary, a pedometer, medication changes, a week of "pre op" all over again. I'm not sure what else to try. Ideas? Perhaps it's natures way of telling me I'm just not meant to be thin? Surgery was over a yr and a half ago and still hover at 50 pounds lost. No where near what I had hoped for. Anyone trying Rasberry Ketones?

That would be so frustrating! Are you seeing changes in other areas like inches lost, changes in your clothing sizes, improved mobility, endurance etc. When the scales get stuck, it helps to recognise other areas of success.

Good luck on getting the scales moving again, but also a huge congratulations on your 50lbs lost!

Have you had your thyroid checked, do you have any allergies? Gosh, I really feel for you. I can't think of anything else you should do, you seemed to have done it all. Good luck.

It happens. I was in a six month plateau. It was my fault. I didn't eat very healthy. I just kept my portions down and I exercised occasionally. I finally decided to get back on track last week and I have lost 6 pounds since then. No more slacking off for me.

I have it a plateau as well. It is very frustrating considering it's only been 5 months since surgery and I've only lost 50lbs. I know I shouldn't say "only" but I was expecting more. The positive is at least I'm not gaining and I feel great.

I recently plateaued for about 2 months. I am 10-mos post-op and have lost 96 lbs. I'm approaching my target weight.....but I was discouraged that I was stopped just short. (14 lbs left to go)

I got a fill last week and have lost 3 lbs.

Maybe that's all that is needed.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
