So I'm pretty bent out of shape right now. I get my Protein in, I get my fluids in, i work out and I have only lost 55 lbs. I'm a bit over 3 months out and stuck at this weight. Someone please suggest something. I feel like a complete failure. 3 weeks at this weight an I don't see an end in sight. I've hit plateaus before but not quite like this

Are you counting your calories? I thought I was within the recommended number, until I started counting. My nutritionist says 800 max for a woman.

Shoot you are doing great at 3 months out. 55lbs is awesome. I'm 3 months out and have lost 45lbs. When I get stuck at a weight, I notice I lose inches. Your body is just adjusting and you will start dropping again. Can you get to a pool? If so and you can swim, go tread Water for an hour or so. I tread water daily for about an hour to 75 minutes and burn about 1600 calories or more. I notice im dropping a pound a day or every other day. I also keep my calories below 800 and I make sure I get all my fluids in. Don't stress it too much though. Your body is most likely just trying to catch up. 55lbs is an awesome loss. Way to go.

My NUT recommends adding 100 calories for a week when you hit a stall. If it doesnt work and you're still stalled, add another 100.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
