Hi all,

So I've been down this road before and am just about at a loss for words!!! It's been 4 weeks since the scale moved and I'm not concentrating on that, I'm trying to focus on my body and losing inches but I don't seem to be moving in inches either!! I've upped my Protein and Water intake and have even been hitting the gym!!! In all honesty I feel like I'm done losing or even as ridiculous as it sounds I feel like my body has called it quits and my tool is no longer working :( I'm not discouraged by any means I am down 93 pounds in 6 months!! It's pretty amazing and I feel a ton better!! Highest weight: 266 current weight:173..I have hit my dr goal of 175 but would like to lose another 20lbs or so!! I just don't know what's going on with my insides!! Help!!!!

I've tried searching stall threads on here but I'm not very savvy on navigating this site lol

I have a couple questions first.

Are you logging your food?

How many calories are you getting in each day?

I am logging my food and just had my 6month follow up with the dietician and she said all seemed to be ok with what I was eating. I'm getting about 1200 calories a day and can't figure out what else is going on

You and I started out very close to the same weight. I was 256 starting out and 175 was my doctor goal weight. He said he expected me to lose more, but at 175 he felt like the surgery was a success. When I hit 6 months I started to stall quite a few times. Then out of no where my body would start losing again. I stuck with my program and began increasing my Protein intake. I am now 15 months post op and I weigh 132. The last 40 have been slow coming off, but they are gone. My loss in inches was slow coming off, but they are off. Stay strong and stick with your plan.

      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.
