Sometimes your weight loss will just naturally pause for a while and you have to wait it out. But in order to be really sure, you need to make sure you are in a significant caloric deficit. How many calories are you eating each day?

I would say work on getting in your Protein and up your fluids, just in case your body is thinking you are starving. Sometimes that happens. Also, it may just be your body catching up with the loss you already had. Just KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE keep doing YOU and make sure you are following your program. I know it is hard but TRUST yourself and KEEP on KEEPING on!! Good Luck

In addition to how many calories are you eating, what are they comprised of? You say you don't eat enough Protein, but how many Protein grams are you eating? What about carbs? Fluids? What you eat can definitely stall your progress.

I eat once a day I don't count carbs because I don't eat much what I eat I look at it on my phone to see how many it would be for the day ..I eat a sandwich , salad bake chicken and vegetables, bake fish , cheese toast I do cheat sometimes like hit wings maybe 3 when my kids have some because I don't eat i drink flavor most of the time I think I'm going to start my liquid diet again to jumpstart my weight loss what do you think I need to start losing again going on a month is to long for an active pretty much once a day eater I don't get it ..

Could I be eating to much in that dinner meal because I'm told I shouldn't be waiting all day to eat and my stomach can hurt after I eat and it may be because I'm not getting my small meals in through out the day but I don't want to gain any weight ..but can be overeating and hurting myself this way also I don't know after reading everyone on here

It is very important to get your Protein in so your body will release the fat. Otherwise it just thinks it needs to keep storing it in case you need it. I would stop eating the bread because it is high carbs and takes up precious room in your sleeve. And, drink, drink, drink. liquids will carry all the fat and toxins out.

So instead of a sandwich, make turkey or ham rollups with cheese, avocado, or something else flavorful. You can season and dice up chicken into lettuce leaves. Make chicken and tuna salad and keep eggs handy to have anytime. At 5 mths out, I still have a Protein shake for Breakfast. It fills me up and starts the day off right.

Excellent advise right there. Are you tracking your food? Usually when stalls happen people are either not sticking to their plan or their body is taking time to adjust. So I would suggest reevaluating your food choices, track everything that goes in your mouth (including the carb count), and be honest with yourself about your exercise. If all of that is in line then it's just your body adjusting from rapid weight loss.

Also my nutritionist and surgeon frown on not getting in 4 to 5 small meals a day. Your body needs fuel.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
