Try Intermittant Fasting with alternate day restriction. I have found that continual caloric restriction really slows down the weight loss. Restricting to 500-600 cal every other day, alternating with normal intake (maybe 1000-1200) can trick your metabolism into thinking it is not really starving and can keep humming along.

⬆⬆ Intermittent fasting- highly recommend⬆⬆

Also more Fiber (more bowel movements) hydration and take a look at your diet to see if anything shouldn't be there (excess sugar, etc)

if you're carb sensitive (and a lot of us are), I'm not sure I'd add more carbs. Whenever I need to lose weight, I try to stick with the basic plan - Protein first, then unstarchy vegetables, and then, if I still have room left, a small serving of fruit or "healthy" carbs (like whole grain items). I also switched over to calorie counting when I was about a year out, since at that point I was physically able to eat a lot more than I was supposed to.

weight loss slowed to a crawl for me once I hit the year mark (and maybe even a bit earlier - I can't remember). It took FOREVER to get those last few pounds off. I did manage to lose 50 lbs in year 2, though - but it took a long time - slow going, lots of stalls - plenty of times when I thought "well, this must be it...", but then it started up again. You may be in the same boat...

I took a break and just tried maintaining after the first year. Then this past December I started losing again. I lost 5 lbs in my 23rd month and have kept it off. My body I think just needed that break to get going again.

Keep going as you change it up!!! I agree on alternating days. I am working off a 10 lbs regain and as I am carb sensitive bread is not happening I count calories and Protein and avoid carbs. Best to you as a send cheer your way!! PS I do not lose if short I’m sleep. 🌻🌻🌼🌻🌼🌼🌼🌻🌼🌼🌻🌼🌼🌼

I feel your pain. I'm in the same boat. I have been bouncing the same 2 to 3 pounds up and down for the last 3 months.

I'm in the same boat. I'll be 10 months post op this weekend and have 10 more pounds to get to my goal weight. Things have come to a screeching halt the last 6 weeks.

I'm eating on plan, exercising, and keeping at 1000 calories per day, as my program requires. At 160 pounds, I should still be losing at a good clip if I'm eating 1000 calories per day, since my total daily energy expenditure is about 1700 calories. But it's not really coming off.

I have loosened my intermittent fasting restrictions lately as I bumped up my calories because it was hard to get it all in, and I feel like that is also slowing my loss, but I simply can't get in 1000 calories per day without spreading my eating out more. I may try the alternate day restriction that another user suggested!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
