Hey guys!

Haven't wrote on this site in awhile!

I'm about 4 months out.. & feeling really stressed out.. I'm at a stall in my weight.. & been stalking for over a month.. I have been eating right & exercising regularly.. But still no change in my weight.. I see many ppl on this site that have the same problem... What can I do to change this? It's so hard..I understand this does happen especially since I already lost about 60 pounds. I need more friends that I can talk to.. So lets be friends please :)

I don't have the answer unfortunately cause I'm right there with you. I was stalled from

Month four to five but did loose some inches? Hopefully this month the weight starts coming off again.

We're your pal, fersure!!!

Don't weigh yourself and keep following the program. You HAVE to lose then!

I am probably going to get flamed but I have some very unorthodox advice. Eat crap for a few days. candy, cake, pizza or whatever. Don't eat enough to stretch your sleeve but eat as much as you comfortably can. I believe that over time your body gets used to healthy food and just chugs along happy. Shocking it with crap can jump start your weight loss again. Worked for me when I tried it. However, if you have an addicts mind set and feel like it might push you over the edge, I wouldn't try it.

Hi there, I'll be officially 20 weeks out tomorrow and have lost 67 pounds so far. I've experienced the same stalls as well, but I've done something that almost always gets me to the right track. Whenever I reach a stall, yet still maintaining my healthy eating habits and exercising daily (i do crossfit twice per week and cardio 4 times per week) I find that my body is retaining Water. So I take a water pill maybe once per week. Sure enough, I pee like crazy for about 4 hours in that day, rehydrate during the day, and by the time i step on the scale the next morning, I'm about 4 pounds down, which is what i should've expected during that week anyway. It weighs out for me... also during my cycle time, my body retains soooo much water, so i actually let my cycle completely go through then the day after my last day i have a water pill just to release all that water. Look hunny, truth be told, as long as the scale isn't moving up and your staying active, your alright! :D hope this helps a bit! Also, i definitely notice, when i'm retaining water and have a water pill, inches go as well.

I also agree with this. If this Water pill doesnt work for me, i carb up then go do some cardio like crazy, and man! my body is like "what have you done to me" :wacko: lol

Your welcome.. Slow and steady wins the race. I wouldn't mind losing slowly. Give my skin a chance to bounce back as well!

      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.
