When you leave it will be a disservice to the newbies that have no clue about the possibility of following the Mayo clinic diet, the stats on VSG outcomes, etc. that you are so passionate about. I challenge you about fitting in. Now its about giving back the support to others... You are leaving a void. As all VETS do when they just leave VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

I'm going to go there because it needs to be said, it was a low blow to bring up someone's health problems to sway an argument in your favor. It wasn't even necessary. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

I have been on multiple threads with them but the OP and other people may still want info... VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Don't leave the conversation, no one will ever get the information that YOU have to offer. I hate that these threads take these turns but we NEED all perspectives out there. So please stick around, continue to help VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Congrats on your success, again! VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

What type of foods are you preparing, can your sibling exercise with you (make it seem like playtime etc)?VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Its only the second month, give it a little time some strong effort, you'll do amazing (Men always lose a lot more than women but who's counting lol) VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Sorry my phone was busy playing music for the workout session... Next time VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Can you feasibly go back to basics? Protein then vegetables then complex carbs sparingly, min of 80 g Protein since you are a lifting male, 90 oz fluids (doesnt have to be just Water )Cut out ALL OTHER FOODS that might slow down progress You may need more cals, but the right kind, boost your calories and protein with Protein Shakes Sorry TMI but how are your bowel movements, if not super regular, weight loss will stall I know for a fact Get ahold of your team or NUT and make a plan, very important to let them know you have concerns, bug them and don't feel bad about it at all, you pay good money for their medical attention. Also I was stalled for a month during the second month, it happens VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Also how long have you been stalled for? VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

My surgery was at 5 am , surgeon and surgical staff were clear, bright and happy they actually clapped and cheered as they rolled me drug loopy into the OR, amazing experience. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

NP and if that is the case take body measurements, notice the reshaping of your physique, tone of your muscles,texture of your skin etc as indictors of change (not just loss of weight) and muscle burns calories while in a state of rest, and men's bodies reshape differently after wls. Only month 2, you got this! If really worried, contact your team...VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

If you are heavy lifting, you may be putting on more muscle mass causing the stall ,perhaps Matt can confirm, same thing happened to me when I started weight training. You may want to check out the guys room forum for more specialized info on that VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Awesomesauce! VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

@Creekimp always has helpful info on this as her team prepared her VERY well about rate of loss etc VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

I think you should reach out to your team for clarity and ask where you could be weight wise. People with lower BMIs tend to lose slower and at lower rates and not everyone will lose all the weight they plan. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

RNY or VSG?VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

So at the end of this all I may be 5 f-ing 2! VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

By the Surgeon, did they give you any figures or ideas of where they would like to see you by this point? VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

Probably because they have access to the machine and want to make advances in the industry by using it more often. If it was offered to me. I wouldn't have turned it down. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

How much was anticipated by this point? VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

Can you photo journal a day in your food life? That would super interesting? I cannot pictures 500 cals of food... I've been up too high for too long... VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

What are you eatingVSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

This info blows... My mind VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

500 or less! I would love to see your menu! VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169
