Have a question about how to jump start my weight loss again

[Guest guest]

Hi guys!

I am 10 months post-op and I have lost 145 lbs with the gastric

bypass Lap (started at 350lbs) I am over joyed with the progress but

now I am not losing at all and I am wanting some suggestions from

other gb patients on to how to jump start it again. I realize that

you go through plattos and then in a few weeks you start losing again

and I have went through that before but now it has been over 1 1/2

months since I have lost any weight and maybe to increase my protein

or something. I am expercising alot and maybe I am gaining musle but

it doesn't feel like I am going down any sizes either, so I am

confused. Maybe, do you think, I have strentched out my stomach

alittle and maybe now I am maintaining and not losing? I don't know,

I want to lose about 60 more pounds before I call it quits and I am

getting upset about the stand still. please help!

Hey Tammy. While I am not as far out as you are and doing so

awesome!!! (great job to you) I had a stall for three weeks straight

from week 5 til week 8. Then someone on here (I believe it was

, wanna give credit where credit is due. Sorry if I am wrong)

suggested the protein train. Where you go back to drinking just

protein shakes for all your meals and drinking water for 3 days. I

did it over the Labor day weekend and I lost 7 pounds in the three

days and 3 more since then. I slowly added the food back in and am

still seeing the inches falling off. You may wanna try that. Good

luck!!

Hey Tina,

That's right!!! (bowing) It was me and I have heard good responses

from all the groups I am on concerning the protein train. Its only

meant for 3 to 4 days and you can have different kinds of protein

added to make it worthwild. I know I will try it when its needed.

Hugs,
