Hi All,

I am 16 months Post op and have lost a total of 91lbs since my surgery.

My body has decided that 140lbs is where it would like to sit as i've been stalled at this weight for the last FIVE months.

Any tips to get the scale moving again??

I am staying around 1000-1200 Calories a day and it is primarily High protein/ Low carb.

I have intensified my workouts and still the scale doesn't fluctuate, I'm at a loss.

What works for you to get the scale moving again? Any one else deal with this long of a stall?

Thanks!

How much more do you have to lose? Anything work it's way back into your diet that was there before? What does your Team think?

Thank you! I have already met the goal my surgeon had for me which was to reach 140lbs. I am only 5'2 for myself I would like to reach 125-130lbs. I know that this is possible but My body isn't wanting to cooperate with me at the moment. As far as my diet its pretty basic as in a meat Protein and veggies I occasionally will substitute my meat with Protein Bars and maybe this is where my issue is since some of the protein bars I eat are higher in sugar. I am going to cut those out and see if that helps.

I think I will join your February challenge.

Thanks!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
