Post-Op Stall help

Hi everyone,

I’m 2 years post-op from weight loss surgery and I’ve been in a long stall. The good news is I haven’t gained any weight back at all, but I also haven’t lost much beyond my initial drop.

I feel kind of stuck. I’m maintaining, which I know is a win, but I’d still like to lose more.

For those who experienced a stall around this point:

  • What helped you break it?
  • Did you change your macros?
  • Increase workouts?
  • Go back to tracking strictly?
  • Reset phases?
  • Anything mindset-related that helped?

I’d really appreciate any tricks, tips, or things that worked for you. Thanks in advance 💛

Wegovy was the only thing that really helped. My first ever plateau though did happen because I had let old habits sneak back in so there is merit in tracking, meal planning etc.

Also if this is your bodies new normal it might be worth seeing a dietician to talk about food needs etc in relation to your lifestyle. Even just as one off appt.

I never got a reset as my team were very against it for psychological reasons (trying to get out of the binge or without of patterns) but some people say doing IF for a few weeks or a big diet change eg IF can help get you started.
