Plateau? Help!



Recommended Posts

I am almost 8 months out from sleeve surgery. I am down 103 lbs. I seem to be stalled at this weight for the last three weeks. I go to the gym 4-6 times a week and have a similar food intake as I have had for months. I don't want to get frustrated because I have come a long way but I am frustrated and nervous. Any help is appreciated.

I'm with you. I am just keeping up with my healthy plan. Plateau's have been on and off with the process. I'm also in my eighth month they seem to be harder to break.

Me too! I have only lost about 3 lbs in the last 2 months. It is so much harder when you get closer to your goal weight. Mh trainer said to do a reset. Change your workout up. Add some different things or change the sequence. As far as diet, maybe do a few liquid only days.

So frustrating! I'm there with you. The first 80 seems to fall off (I had a few stalls at around 50 lbs, and then again at 75 lbs. lost) and a friend of mine who teaches Physical Education classes at the college level, suggested that I add a few calories two days a week (not junk calories, healthy calories, which for me meant adding a Protein shake before bed). And that helped break the latest plateau. Next time this happens, I'm going to make sure that my journaling is accurate!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
