I am one year and three months post gastric sleeve. I have lost and maintained a total of 60lbs. Once I hit this 60 lbs mark, it wouldn't budge, no matter what I did. I ate right, exercised, and drank my Water appropriately. Like most people I was unable to eat and exercise like I should over the holidays. Now that the holidays are over, I am ready to get back on track and see if I can get rid of a little more weight. For the past week, I have done straight, all Protein and hot yoga for 3 X's. while it has only been 5 days, I stepped on the scales and I had not lost a single pound. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. So please help me, by giving me the "rules / guidelines" for post gastric sleeve. 1. How many grams of protein per day? 2. When choosing a food item, how many grams of carbs and/or sugar per serving should I be looking for? 3. How many calories should I be intaking? Just any and all advise is welcomed! Thanks!

For those who seem to have found the balance of continuous weight loss, breaking through the stall and/or have not had a stall, what does a normal day of food and exercise look like for you? I realize that a lot will depend on age and starting weight, but maybe it could give us all and insight into what seems to be working for the majority of people. Thanks!

Four months post gastric sleeve and two months post gallbladder surgery. Starting weight 234 and I am now 184. Everything was going great, for the first two months. Adapted well to surgery, losing weight, getting in shape, feeling great. Then all of a sudden everything has come to a complete stop. I have lost 2 lbs, in TWO months. I expected stalls but cannot believe it is lasting this long with all that I am doing. Still no, bread, pasta, rice, soft drinks, or caffeine. Breakfast options - egg, Greek yogurt, protein drink, or berries and cheese. Lunch options - lean meats (usually super leftovers) or deli meats & cheese Supper options - Usually lean meat and green vegetable. my quick meals are tuna, imitation crab legs, shrimp, chicken fingers. Snacks options are - Cheese/nuts, protein drinks, Italian ice, nuts and/or seeds. I consume 60 - 90 grams of protein per day, and 60+ oz of water per day. I do not keep up with calories, but it is under 1000 per day. I do not journal, but I am very conscious of what I eat. I exercise 4-5 times per week. Each day I do 30 minutes to one hour of cardio and alternate upper body, lower body and abs with machine weights. I truly workout, I am drenched when I leave. I am so grateful for what I have lost, but was hoping for more. So any advise on what I am doing wrong or what I need to do?

ezbeinggreen, I'm going to try this cause i have tried everything else. I had actually thought of that, but was honestly scared of consuming too much and my body getting used to consuming a larger amount. I know that sounds crazy, but I would rather see the scale not move at all than to go up. -

No changes in medications either. Just feel like with as hard as I am working out and the amount of food I am taking in that I should still be losing. I still have an obese BMI. If eating right and exercising is not enough, then what is? I know I am under 1000 calories per day. Guess I will need to reduce it a little more. -

No, I don't weigh or measure everything but I assure you it is very little. I NEVER get so full that I get the sick feeling. It is extremely rare for me to get "stuffed" after eating. This is just so extremely frustrating.
