Surgery May 13th...have only lost 19# post op...which would be ok, except scales stuck. Increased protein, water. Nothing. Decreased calories, increased calories. Nothing. I feel like I'm gonna stay fat forever...but not eating enough and miserable! Im Either hungry, or full. If I cut calories anymore, I'll just be hungrier and have no energy.

Yesterday; 649 cal 70g protein about 50-60 oz water

Wednesday: 692 cal 85g protein 64+ oz water

Tuesday I went over 1000 calories but had more protein 88g

Mon 803 cal 80g protein 64+ oz water

I See dr/nurse next Tuesday. Would really like to show a loss between now and then.

I am down almost 40# from my heaviest in Jan of 325... But really hoped for more drastic results, since I did something so drastic with this sleeve!

This is very normal. Your body is still healing and trying to find its way, so to speak. You have lost 19 pounds. That is an accomplishment that can be celebrated. Be gentle with yourself and give yourself time. You got this. Stay the course.

Yes I agree don't give up... I met a friend yesterday who had another weight loss surgery (Duodenal switch) and lost 145 lbs in the last 5 months. His skin didn't do so well and he is still a young man, so slow and steady is better in the long run, also try increasing your activity that helps to give your body an extra boost. Good luck

I learned yesterday at my NUT appt that after about 75-80 grams of protein your body just pees it out... are you eating two snacks? Exercising? Maybe up your calorie count to closer to 900 is the key!

The Scale moved this morning...It was only 1 pound, but it's a New pound. I actually went over 1000cal yesterday. Ate a small ice cream bar 200 cal/2g protein. Was so worth it.

Thank you for kind words of Support. I've been active getting house and yard ready for company. (Working up a sweat)

but not truly working out. Will try to make time for that.
