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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
