Congratulations! Amazing!

My surgery date was 1/22/15...7 months post-op gastric sleeve. My pre-surgery weight was 260...current weight is 205.4. I'm beyond frustrated with this process. I get between 60-80 grams of protein in daily, run/walk 2 miles daily (in 30 minutes), or I am on the elliptical for 30 minutes reaching at least 2.4 miles, I'm making great food choices and measuring what I eat about 1/2 cup (depending on what I'm eating) I drink 87 ounces of water daily. I have spoken with the nutritionist and she says "it happens slowly for some people". Slowly? I have literally lost 1lb in the last 3 weeks...5 lbs in the last 2 months. I don't know anyone this has happened to and this is not at all what I expected. No one seems to understand and I feel very alone....if there is anyone out there at all that can relate...if would love to hear your story.

Thank you so much for all your helpful hints, I definitely use my fitness pal...it's a lifesaver! I don't usually have many carbs...only have carbs a couple times a week - but maybe I will pay closer attention to that! Thanks for your help!

Thank you for your understanding....nice to know I'm not alone

Thank you so much for your positive words and encouragement, it really helps knowing someone has a similar story...not only that, but you have been successful. I stalled at 50lb myself and that is when the slow weight loss began. Thank u so much, I will keep swimming

Thank you so much for your positive reply...you are right ...I can run, paint my own toenails, wear clothes that are in the "regular " section, off all prescription medications and I feel amazing...all positive things. I just feel very alone in the way I am progressing and wondering if anyone has a similar situation? But u are right....I need to stay focused.
