Finally off my stall down 5.5 lb since Sunday, which is a relief

That's awesome with the wt loss! I'm still on stall, doing cardio a couple of times a wk. christen told me since I'm a revision I can expect to lose 4-6 lbs a mo....I guess slow n steady will win the race

That's good! I lost so much wt at the beginning with the lap band. I was a lot younger n heavier. I thought that could have been the reason wt is not coming off and also I'm still on my insulin, just a small amt, but insulin makes me gain. Hw before band was 317 lowest wt with band was 223.....GW is under 160 but no lower than 130. Surgery wt on 12/20/13 for the revision from band to sleeve was 263(wt gain from new insulin 40 lbs gained prior to having the revision. ( I had to take the insulin to have surgery, the dr office wanted no complications) so far my lowest way was 241.5 and now I'm back up to 244...crazy it changes wk to wk. I had my first cycle since surgery and I was on it for 14 solid days and I feel like I'm going to start again. I think this is a chemistry of this surgery. I personally think that might be on this stall too. I'm wk out and eat low carbs.... I sure hope that I am following the plan. I truly don't want to fail. Barefeet how much are u down? What types of meals are u eating?

Very true!

I've been up a 1.5 then down, bouncing back n forth. Pretty much lost 20 lbs first 2 1/2 wks and nothing since then. Idk y but I'm trying not to be discourage. I'm not a spring chicken anymore

Are u still on a stall too? I've been on one for 3 wks going on 4 wk

Awesome guys! I'm still working out and the scales have not moved in 3 wks. It's depressing but I'm trying to stay positive. Next wk will be my 6 wks out and I plan on starting some wt training then....I'm hoping and praying something will come off soon

Guys I'm feeling amazing! This was only my 2nd wk out, but omg the energy level I'm having is awesome. I push my self a lil hard with each wk out. I hope all my ft worth buddies are doing great! Keep us posted with some updates

Mama spike I'm doing great! My hunny has hidden the scales from me lol...we started at the gym last night and I worked out for abt 40 mins just cardio no wt yets. Sticking to my low carb option. I feel awesome these days. I'm trying to up my protein and my water intake. We r headed back to the gym tonight. My husband is a pre-sleeved but is going along with my diet and exercise plan. I'm hoping he will lose a good amt before surgery.

No exercise yet just do to schedule. For breakfast usually an egg, sometimes oatmeal less than 1/2 cup and sometimes nothing Lunch chicken salad or thin deli turkey ( the lil rounds one that about the sz of pepperoni) and cheddar cheese thin thin slice Dinner almost every night green beans, baked chicken and one night I had fish In between meals when I'm Hungry I try and get a protein shake....but I have trouble getting these down and try and drink water I really try for 64 oz of liquid to get down, but it is just not happening. I drink unsweetened tea or water usually get down abt 32 oz a day and maybe 1/2 of apple juice but I really have not had one of those since liquid stage. I have had a low fat cheese square for snack a couple of times maybe 3 times total... And I feel hungry all the time, I'm satisfied but within 2-3 hrs I'm hungry again...and I'm also afraid I'm over eating. Sometimes it's just a few bites and others I can eat almost the whole plate. I measure out everything Just confused

I was sleeved on 12/20/13

I'm having same trouble... I'm 4 wks out and have not lost in over two wks I've actually gained 3 lbs this wk. feeling really down about it and feeling like a complete failure. I've pretty much have scramble egg for bk or lunch, lunch turkey (the lil slices that come in the lunchsbles) and cheddar cheese. Or chicken salad. For dinner almost every night baked ck and green beans....and I've tried fished one time. Or sometimes egg again. All this stuff is mainly low carb...idk what I'm doing wrong. I attempt to add protein shake in at least once a day but it's just nasty to me. And I eat and full but very hungry within two hrs. I really try not to snack so I drink water and it that doesn't wk go for the protein shake. I have not started wk out yet, just due my schedule....any thought of what I'm doing wrong? And I can eat an whole egg do u think I'm over eating?

I don't know how I'm am doing it but I've gained another 1.5 lbs that makes a total of 3 lbs and have not list a pound in over 2 wks...feeling really discouraged

I take biotin 1000 I seen the 10000 at store but It was a pill and wasn't for sure how big the pill was.

Have any of you experience extreme tiredness since the surgery? I'm really really exhausted, I put in long hrs this ek and didn't get to the gym. Was going to go today, but when I finished running errands by 3 pm I was wiped out...I'm taking my vit everyday and not all my protein but trying real hard

Congrats Tamil!!! Barefeet thanks for the ideas on protein How are you all doing? I'm doing ok I was a lil discouraged yesterday because for some reason I gain 1.5 lbs but this could have been because of monthly visitor

I'm starting to feel a lil discourage and down. Today I've been just wipe out, no energy what so ever. Also no wt loss in 7 days...any advice how to get off this stall

I haven't had that kind of pressure, I guess because I was full I thought I had over filled.

Kind of a subject change.... I don't know if it's into head or is reality but I think I'm eating more than I'm suppose too. How can u tell if you have over filled your pouch

I'm having trouble getting the protein in to. I went got some Greek yogurt today to start for breakfast in the morning maybe that will help. Think I'm going to start walking at the gym this wk too

Are we suppose to eat 1000 cal a day? Some days I don't even get 400 I got like maybe 600 today and that's seem too high My "visitor" is here and I feel like I could eat my whole house up! Omg this had been torture

No weird dreams here.

Tami I am going thru mine rt now and it's not just the cramps it's the cravings I feel as if I want to eat everything

Awesome! Sounds like fun I didn't do much just sat at Hm watching movies

How is everyone doing?
