Hi Max I have heard the way to break a weight loss plateau is to zig zag your food intake and execrcise plans.You change your diet maybe even eat more calories ever other day and less than normal the next day.If you walk or jog maybe try weights or swimming.But you lost 50 pounds that something to Celebrate about what would have happened if not banded?But one thing is for sure just stay the course and the scale will start to move again.

Max, you've lost 50 lbs. That's great! I don't know how to break plateaus but I do know about self-sabotage so don't go there. Just because you take one bad step doesen't mean you now have to plummet all the way to the bottom. Just shake it off, focus on the goal.

Max,

To have a plateau is perfectly natural. We all get them. It's nothing to worry about in the longer term view, which is what you should try to focus on. I've had several plateaus and they have all gone after a time. You've got to try to stay positive and give yourself a reasonable timescale to lose the weight. I gave myself a year, which has gone really quickly.

You've done really well so far to lose the 50 pounds - the plateau will go - honest.

      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.

      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!
