Lost weight after plateau more than six months out?



Recommended Posts

Yep. Have to work really ******* hard/smart to do it. But very very very possible!

First try cleaning up your diet to perfection, Protein then vegetable very minimal carbs, hit Fiber goals (regular bowel movement), drinking only cal free things but mostly plain Water, then Look into intermittent fasting.

Good luck 💜

I had a 3 week stall. It was because I was not getting enough sleep. Now back on track and lost another 3 lbs in a week

Has anyone lost more weight after a long plateau more than six months postop?

You can go back into weight loss mode. Have you checked in with your surgeon’s office? You may want to rule out medical issues as a cause.

How many calories and carbs you are eating per day?

You may be eating your maintaining calories if you are not gaining or losing weight. (check with your dietician or your plan)

Something to try --- Dialing in your diet: (I am not a dietician. feel free to ignore the rest of this post)

Log your food. (baritastic or myfitnesspal app) Look at your calories and carbs – Are you in your weight loss calories and macros? Are they too low or too high?

If your calories and carbs are too high. Adjust calories lower by 100 carbs to 53 for a month. After that month if it does not move you will adjust them lower again to find the calorie range that puts your body in weigh loss mode.

If your calories are too low, you will add 100 for a month.

      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.
