Plateau How I Loathe You -_-



Recommended Posts

Hey guys a quick question i need to ask...

55 pounds down since jaunuary 3rd so 6 months out and over half of my weight is gone!!!! Sooo Excited. This past 2 weeks though I think ive hit a plateau? Still at about 1200 calories and not really been hitting the junk food to much :D ha ha But my weight loss stopped and ive been working out going to the gym.

Questions..

Do I need to up or lower my calories?

Could my body just be trying to catch up with the weight loss? like maybe my body will be easier to tone up at this point until the weight loss starts again..

or if any of you have any great suggestions at all would be mighty awesome.

I would say decrease calories ... since you have lost a lot of weight your body may no longer need 1200 calories ... how about 1000 1050 for 3 days and see if that helps. or do a liquid diet for 2 days and see if that breaks the plateau

      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.

      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!
