  1. Follow up with surgeon and he said he's is not concerned. No sign of any infection and spleen is only slightly larger than when I had surgery. Prescribed diet pills for a couple months to help get me out of the stall. Not sure how I feel about that.

      @proudgrammy I totally agree with you - diet pills?

      I've tried the 5 day reboot, nothing. I've tried juice fasts with protein added, nothing. So I'm at a point of unexplained plateau. Lab work all came back normal and he wasn't concerned with anything on my CT Scan.

      Thanks Kathy! I know I've come a long way and when I look at a before pic, it puts things in perspective. However, I still have so much more to lose and until I get down at least one more size, I won't be truly happy. :/

  2. Results of my CT Scan show an enlarged spleen and liver. Follow up with my surgeon is scheduled. Please say a little prayer. Thanks!

      what did you find out?

    Over It

    Hey Olivia! You are definitely not alone! I have been stuck at 264 since the middle of May, so 3 months at the same weight. Yes, I am excited and can Celebrate losing 90 lbs but I believe I should be far more along by now. I am beyond discouraged at this point. I agree with others who have said to put the scale away, it will just continue to frustrate you if you're not losing as quickly as you'd like. Good luck!
  5. @@kgunchic I'm in the exact same boat as you so don't feel bad, you are not alone! I am 9 months out and haven't lost a single pound in 2 months. In the past month, I've been eating all sorts of foods that I know I shouldn't be. My worst fear was that I'd go back to my old habits. I find some meals I can get full on a small amount and others I need more than usual to feel full. I've also been snacking between meals, picking at my daughter's lunch/dinner as I'm making it, etc. I know I will have to do the 5 day pouch test at this point in order to get over this rut I'm in. It's going to be hard to do but I keep telling myself that it's only 5 days and they will pass. Good luck!
  6. Still haven't broke 100 lbs at 7 mos out. Grrr!!! Been stuck at 263 for a month.

    October 2014 sleevers check in please!

    Yesterday was my 6 month surgiversary and I am down 91 lbs. I was hoping to be 100 lbs down by the time 6 months rolled around but I keep stalling. I started using My Fitness Pal which helps me see what I eat every day and since then, the weight loss has started to come off again, ableit slow. I eat approximately 1,000 calories each day and walk every day.

    Tortillas?

    Yes, I started eating a tortilla on occasion around 2 months out. They help satisfy my need for a sandwich. I use La Tortilla Factory brand which have 6 net carbs. They are a little chewier than other brands but tasty.
  10. I'm officially out of the 270's! Happy dance!!!

      Stalls are awful, aren't they? I had one for THREE MONTHS. Just in the last few weeks has it let go an I'm back on the downward movement. Change up your exercise a little? That's what did it for me

      I get one every 10lbs weight loss so I def know your frustration...but LOOK at your progress. Awesome weight loss. Whats a lil stall when you've had such success!

    I am 5 months out and have been stalling like crazy. I went the entire month of February stuck at 285 lbs so I went back to the full liquid stage for a couple days and that helped lose 5 lbs. Since then I've only lost another 5 and have been stuck again at 275 for the past 3 weeks. I've increased my exercise and I eat 1000-1200 calories a day. I'm getting 70-80 grams of Protein and I get my liquid in so I know that's not an issue. Also, my hair. My poor hair! It was thin before surgery and has only gotten worse since. I took my hairdressers advice and switched to a sulfate-free shampoo/conditioner and started using a hot oil treatment. I'm thinking hair extensions or a top piece might be in my future!
  14. My favorite Quest bar is the Cookies n' cream. I like it so much I bought an entire box when they were on sale at GNC ($24.99 for a box of 12). The apple pie and chocolate chip cookie dough are also pretty good.
  15. I can't describe how good it feels to go down a size! I actually look forward to shopping for clothes now. Can't wait until the next size drop! Woot!!!
