One year out, weight loss is stalled

[beachwalker4rny 95]

I had RNY gastric bypass almost 1 year ago. I have been 165, 166 for the past several months. I am stuck here. Any advice from people who have gone before me? Should I try the 5 day pouch test? Maybe I should do the pre op liquid diet of 3 Protein Shakes a day? I just want to jump start my weight loss again. I am 5' 3" and at 165 I am still overweight.

Any advice on getting the remainder of the weight off would be appreciated. If you had RNY did you continue to lose after the first year?

Ditto!!!

I'm 14 months out from surgery and had a 10 week stall which just broke this week. Stay on track and it will happen.

If you want to 'reset', try eating dense Protein, and cut out any of the 'bad' carbs that may have snuck in. At one year out, you're going to have to work harder than you did at first. No need to do all liquids, your pouch won't stay full like it did at first with only liquids. We don't have a pyloric valve... the liquids won't fill you up like the dense Proteins will.

Do one week of "All meat, All Week"... drink your Water, and don't cheat. Not only will you feel full all day, but you'll cut any potential carb monster cravings that may have snuck in on you.

And log EVERY BITE into My Fitness Pal to see exactly how many calories you are eating. Cut them by 500 and in 1 week you WILL lose 1 pound.

@@pammieanne Thank you, I have let some carbs creep back in. I am back at the gym and cleaned up my eating to lean Protein with some veggies. Hopefully I can get the rest of the weight off. I would like to get to 140 which would put me at a normal BMI for my height.
