It helps to know I'm not alone, and that I seem to be in track even with the plateau. Knowing that it comes off in chunks rather than slowly helps me understand a little better. I'm going to try and weigh myself once week or once very few weeks. That way I'll stop driving myself crazy. I think I'll just keep working out and try to pay more attention to how my clothes are fitting. (I know my legs are getting smaller.) At some point ( hopefully soon) the scale will catch up.

So I have sleeved on Dec. 12 and lost about 45 pounds by the end of January. My problem is that I've only lost 3 lbs since then. I work out, I watch my caloric intake, I tried increasing my Protein and Water content, but none of it helps. I know plateaus are normal, but it's more than a month and this is beginning to feel ridiculous. Any advice or words of wisdom? Thanks, ~Sarah

At least I'm not alone. I should probably stop weighing myself, it's just adding to my frustration.

I eat eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, chicken, beef, veggie burgers, string cheese, milk, turkey, ham, greek yogurt, hummus. Most protein shakes make me really sick, almost like I'm dumping, so I try to avoid those. I've tried the soy and pea shakes and they work well, but they taste terrible.

That sounds terrible. I was never told anything like that. I was told to try and get my protein from a variety of sources. If you search "forest park gastric sleeve" the first link goes to an manuel put out by the Forest Park Medical Center. This hospital mostly deals with bariatric surgeries. It helped me, hopefully it can help you guys.

Thank you so very much! I've been struggling to get all my protein in and I haven't lost anything in almost a month ( even though I work out). This gives so much encouragement. I'm gonna do this starting today and see what happens.
