So just decided to make a profile here because I am just feeling lost and running out of motivation. I am 10 months post op and have not nearly lost as much weight as I thought I would have by now. I was sleeved in April 2017, and my surgery weight was 243 and I have been stuck at 196-197 for 4 months!!! I have stepped up my workout game, but am struggling with with what to eat in terms of getting enough protein in, and i struggle with in-taking the right amount of water. I still get full quickly which is a good thing, but I feel hungry a lot. I keep browsing the internet trying to find sample menus or just get an idea of what and how I should be eating but everyone is different and different things have worked for different people and now I am just at a lost of what to do. I am feeling pretty down and discouraged. I will admit to waiting wayyyyyy too long to see a surgeon and a nutritionist. I had my surgery in Mass, but 8 months ago moved down to NC with my family. Last fall was one of the busiest times of my life but I regret not seeing someone then. I am waiting for the 19th of March to see a surgeon down here but that is such a long time from now! I would love to hear anything that I can try that will help, any encouragement to maybe know that I am not alone. P.S I am OK with 100% honesty and don't cringe at positive criticism

Thank you tealeal! I am thinking of doing this before starting from square 1 food wise. It's looking like I'm going to have to go back to shakes and liquids. How long did you do that for? 2 weeks? 3 weeks? Thanks

Hi allwet. Thank you so much for this slap over my head. Seriously I read this over about 5 times because I really wanted it to stick in my mind. You are so right about the mental part in it. That's the hardest part but I do have to refocus. I did start to track on my fitness pal app a couple weeks ago and noticed too much sugar on some days, way under my protein at times as well. It really bums me out that I am under act but I have to beat that. I will push because I know the sleeve works as an aid and I am not 100% doing my part for it to work. That's going to change! Getting my mind where it's supposed to be from today on!,Thank you!
