Hi Ellie,
I had a lengthy conversation with our study dietician and she gave me a document on Weight Loss Plateaus. If anyone is interested, I can post the document OR post the highlights.
I'm going to try a semi-liquid diet (3 protein shakes/day plus 1 meal of 1c protein & veggies) or perhaps 2 liquid, 2 soft and then back to regular food. I'm also going to start a food diary, which I've been avoiding.

I did read about a few members who went back to 2/3 days of liquids, following by 1/2 days of soft foods and then "regular" foods. I try to eat a high protein, low fat diet. The dietician in my study told me I was eating too many carbs at 30 days out so I try to watch the carbs also. What do any of you suggest?

They put me out, went down my esophogus with a new instrument (TOGA) & created a pouch that holds 4-5 ozs of food at the top of my stomach then stapled it. There is a small hole that empties into the rest of my stomach. I'm pretty sure it's just like the lapband or stapled pouch procedure. I am part of a clinical trial to determine if this new device will help people lose weight. There were no laproscopic or surgical cuts and I was only in the hospital over night. I was on liquids for 1.5 to 2 weeks, soft foods for 1 wk and then on to regular foods. I have been clean & sober for 21 years and I know I eat compulsively. I am using the discipline of 21 years of sobriety to help me through the "head hunger" times and most of the time it works.

Mari,
I am almost positive I had the TOGA procedure done. I was a volume eater and now I eat MUCH smaller portions. I also was laid off last July and I have no health insurance. So, the TOGA study is a blessing. I will find out next March if I had the TOGA procedure. In the meantime, I'm going to continue working on my diet and trying to reduce eating out. I'm single and I tend to eat out quite often, which means too much salt and fat. I've learned to exercise daily and I also learned to take home at least 1/2 of my portion. Actually, I can't eat more then 1/3 of a an omelete and if I eat a dinner salad, I generally can't eat the main dish.

> Just one question, are you sure you had the procedure done or are you part of the control subject. The reason I'm asking is because I was also part of the study but after several weeks I knew I did not get the procedure. It was quite obvious to me, I decided to opt out the study since I could not continue in the study. Right now I just got approved for any and hope to have it in Aug. My best wishes on your journey. Remember the TOGA is still a study! 1 out of 3 patient will not get the procedure until 1 year later if you still qualify.

Hi Lisa,
I'd love to see what your dietitian gave you on plateaus. I'm definitely sitting on one for a few months now.
Good luck with your weight loss. Sounds like this new surgery could be a good option. Thanks for being willing to participate in the study to prove it out.
