Feeling stuck

[ThurstT4life 9]

I am a year out in 2 weeks. I have lost 110 lbs roughly. My doctor says I have about 15 more months of weightless ahead. I can't seem though to get past 300! I keep fluctuating from 304-308. Two days ago I was 304 this morning I am 308. I do admit my eating has Been a little off..but not terrible. Has anyone experienced this at all? It's making me depressed.

First, let me say.. Great progress! I'm not quite out that far, but I know how slowing down can get frustrating.

There are so many aspects to this journey that we cannot control, and will not get clear answers to. But I would tackle what you can control and see if it makes any difference. My best suggestion is to re-boot. Start back at basics with what you are eating - Proteins / Water intake etc..., log/track everything and see if you can't jump start your loss. Do you use MyFitnessPal or a similar app?

If that fails, maybe get your bloodwork done. Prior to my investigating surgical options, I never knew that certain Vitamin deficiencies can make losing weight harder.

I chose the sleeve so that when I get to my goal I wouldn't have to traditionally diet again. The getting there is the hard part. I have realized that carbs never have been and never will be my friend... sleeve or no sleeve. If I have a carb-heavy week, it will reflect on the scale.

Check out the Vets forum (If you haven't already) They have a unique insight to issue that can come up further out in the process.

Good luck!!

I struggle too! I am a year out on Thursday, October 3rd and stalled out at 84 pounds down. I have been here for almost 4 months - ridiculous! I am not sure what I am doing wrong either; however, I am taking JerseyGirl68's advice and rebooting today. Protein Shakes, high Water intake, very low carb, etc. I need to do something to get the weight loss moving again. I refuse to be the person that loses 80 pounds and then gains all her weight back - NO WAY - not going to be me. Good Luck!
