Does it Really work

I am currently 3 1/2 months post op with 66lbs lost. I have hit another infamous weight stall. I am considering going back to stage 1 for about one week to see if it will bring me out of the stall.  Has anyone ever tried this and if so, was it successful?

Yes, I have tried it.  And no, it wasn't successful.  Maybe your luck will be better than mine, nut I struggled with it.

My suggestion is to be patient.  Its normal to hit stalls/plateaus during the journey - many times you will lose inches instead of pounds at those points so make sure you are checking those as well. Its very important to develop good eating habits post-op and re-teach yourself how to eat properly.... instead of jumping back to prior food stages continue to work on what you need to be doing now instead - that will benefit you so much more in the long run. Your body needs a break now and then, let it... the scale will start to move again.

First visit to surgeon - 288 ~ bmi 45.1
2 week pre-op 252 ~ bmi 39.5
Total lost - 153 Since surgery - 117!
Goal weight - 155 (mine) 180 (surgeons)
Current weight - 135 (2020 I lost 10lbs due to dedicating myself to working out more and being in better shape)

1/14/2025 still maintaining 135 :-)

I never tried it, but I would just wait it out. I was at a stall for about 2-3 weeks. Last week I actually lost 7lbs. I dont know if it would hel*****t. Your gonna have stalls so i would just wait it out.

Thank you all so much for you replies and I will continue to take more protein but I work and go to school so much until it's very difficult for me to excercise as I should. I just want to be at least 100lbs down my bday which is 04/12.. I actually plan to go back home and see my father who I havent seen in over 4 years.

No, I haven't tried it...but I just recently went through a stall of about 3 weeks...it was horrible, but it did finally pass and I lost like 10 pounds in the past couple days....I think upping your water and protein is a huge help and exercise of course!!! :)  I wouldn't go back to stage 1 ever!!!  haha, but that's just me!
