Hi All, I've kind of come to my wits end with seeing any kind of results. For the past 5-6 weeks I've completely cut out all form of breads/carbs cheese, dairy etc. I've been working out consistently from 4-5 times a week doing elliptical, boxing and lifting and the scale does nothing but creep up and sometime flux down. If I take off from the gym for 2 days it goes down. I've noticed my clothes do fit differently but the scale hasn't reflected anything and it's very frustrating. So much so I'm considering going to see my doctor, but before I did that I wanted to reach out to you all and see if anyone has struggled with something similar. I was originally sleeved in 8/16 my starting weight was 308 and my current weight fluxs from 265-272. I feel like I've seen 270 or at least the past 11 months. Any advice is totally welcomed.

Hi All, so here is the update from about a week of adjusting my diet. Started about 269-270. For the past week I've tracked my carb intake at 50-60/ day. BF: Vega protein shake with almond milk snack: half a quest protein bar lunch salad with extra meat snack: nuts or yogurt dinner: chix with veggies no breads, oatmeals or anything like that. I upped my water intake. I could prob seriously decrease my coffee intake. I drink about 20 oz in the morning and maybe 16 throughout the day. Terrible I know. Right now I'm at about 264.5 and I've been working out. Should this have been more? I'm just hoping that I'll keep losing. I really really want to get out of the 260's I've been there for over a year now. Should I still follow up with my Surgeon? Thanks everyone!

I did have insulin resistance! Which is why she started me on metformin. So I shouldn't be eating oatmeal at all or the veggie pasta? I thought it wasn't really a carb because it was made out of veggies. 😩 I was eating those two things because I felt too weak at the gym only eating protein. I'll cut the oatmeal and veggie pasta for a week and try only salads then maybe? Any other recommendations? I try to stay away from dairy since I'm lactose intolerant and I don't really eat yogurt. So any recommendations I'd love! Thank you.

I haven't been tracking on my apps, but I don't think over eating is the culprit maybe undereating. I do have PCOS and the doctor did just start me on Metformin 2 months ago. Only 500mgs/day. My day usually goes: BF: protein shake(almond milk) /coffee snack: oatmeal or more coffee lunch: Asian baked chicken/veggie pasta or salad brown rice with veggies occasionally snack almonds/nuts Late evening: (Oatmeal or sweet potato prior to working out if going) dinner: shake (almond milk) I haven't really tracked my water I just go from the color of my urine. (I know that's terrible) I know I've been loosing inches. Somedays I feel like my muscles are inflamed from working out and then if I take a break for 2 day I feel lighter and leaner if that makes sense. Im just wondering when I'll see something reflected on the scale. 😩
