Hi!

Has anyone else stalled for 3 months? I hit 250 and have been bouncing around here since February. PSW was 368, SW was 338 and I am now 250. The first 80 came off quickly and effortlessly and am wondering if my body is adjusting and I need to give it a kick start?

Looking for tips, suggestions and of course, I need to start keeping a food journal again...

Thanks all!

My suggestions are to exercise every day. Walk, then walk faster and longer. Also, log your food, I do this every day, even when I am not doing so great. It helps me realize the cause for my successes and failures. It really makes a difference! Please don't give up, it's a marathon not a sprint!

Absolutely log your food. It keeps you accountable to yourself. It is amazing how fast one can get off track even after a week of not logging.

Also have you tried the 5 day pouch test? Google it, lots of folks that have been stuck that long are able to get kick started using this test. It basically puts you through the food stages and your body starts kicking into to weight loss mode again. If I ever get a stall that lasts as long as yours I plan to use that to pouch test to get me started again.

Good luck to you!

Sounds like a mental block. I got that way at each milestone weight. 275-250-225. Not a three month stop but long enough for me to say need to keep going. I'm not stopping here.

      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.
