I really need help getting on track again.

I had Gastric Bypass in March 2016

My surgery weight was 476 Pounds

For the first year the weight came off

I have been stalling for the last 6 Months which my weight has been more or less constant.

My current weight is 279pounds

Any advise will be greatly appreciated to kick start the weight loss again

Ahhhmazing!!!! You are doing fabulously!!

The biggest thing that happens is "calorie creep". Take a week and log every single little thing that you eat/drink. You might be surprised how much you are now eating compared to last year.

If you are eating 1500 calories or less and not losing, then make sure your doctor has done a good physical on you. Your thyroid levels could be out of whack. (Or something like that).

What does your exercise look like?

You have worked hard to get your results. Congratulations on your weight loss. The further out from surgery the slower the weight loss. Look at all you have done already. You can do this~!!!

I'm three years out getting back on track (I had a gain)

Go back to bariatric basics hit your Protein goals. low carb, Get vegetables in to feel full. Hydrate Hydrate Hydrate!

log meals in myfitnesspal. (or any food log app)

Evaluate your workout. Change it up. Never do the same workout over and over. Increase resistance as you go.

All I can say is congratulations on losing close to 200lbs. The most important question, how is your health? I'm sure losing close to 200lbs had a positive effect on your health.

You look great!!! Well done! I reckon go back to basics too. Sounds like a great plan. Keep going and let us know how you’re doing. Also exercise... step that up from whatever you’re doing now. You are doing so good [emoji16]

after that long, you're probably in maintenance. If you want to lose more, you'll have to cut your calories. Log everything you eat....and weigh and measure things like meat, cheese, etc. Portion creep is real. I know I'll have to weigh, measure, and track for the rest of my life, or I'll start gaining weight.

Congrats on your amazing results.

You have gotten some great advise already. If your diet is okay, you need to check your Vitamin levels. If you are not loosing, you might not be supplementing right or enough.

      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.
