  1. Hi All, I’m 10 months post op from gastric sleeve and have been at a stall for about a month. I’m at 173 from 250. I eat about 1,200 Cals a day and have about 60-80 ounces of water per day. How can I speed up my weight loss? What has worked for you? Thanks! at a stall for about a month. I’m at 173 from 250. I eat about 1,200 Cals a day and have about 60-80 ounces of water per day.

    Advice Needed!

    Thank you for your input! I am experimenting now and I’ll have a better indication of how things are going this week. It’s great that your body responds like that. You’ve found your formula!

    😊 Yes, thank you…I started that a few days ago and will wait until the end of the week to weigh myself. I increased calories by 150 or so.

    Is this a real stall?

    Thank you for sharing that. I used to weigh everyday…very toxic. Now I weigh once a week and it’s taken a lot of stress always. Great that you continued to lose past the year mark!

    Lol!! I’m going to up it a little and see if that assists in my weight loss. It is scary though! I see you mentioned that upping your calories during your last stall was helpful. I believe that it may work for me too. I’ll report back!

    Is this a real stall?

    Thank you for your input. It’s so frustrating. I see so many things about weight loss and how some still lose way past a year and then some don’t. I’m going to up my calories a little. Right now on average my total calories per day fluctuate between 950-1250. What are your thoughts on that?

    I need to find out. Right now I’m 173, my goal is 150

    Advice Needed!

    Yeah, just wondering if I’m consuming too much. For instance, for the past few months, I make it a point to eat about 1.5 or 2 oz of tostones along with some protein. They’re so good, and it doesn’t seem like too many carbs, but I may experiment and go without for a week and see what happens. Thanks for the input!

    This is true for me too, in fact, mine is coming on in a few days. I’ll see what happens this time. Upping my water also. Do you think upping my overall calories would help? Thanks!

    Thank you kindly. I’m hopeful it will break soon!!! My clothes are fitting looser and I look slimmer, but the scale hasn’t been moving for awhile. Do you think carbs could be the culprit? I may try to cut cals. Thanks for sharing your experience.

    Thank you. I’m 5’3 so I feel reaching 150 would be ideal. I recently started incorporating more exercise, I’m also wondering if I need to completely cut out carbs.
  14. I’m almost 6 months out and have lost 60 pounds. I’m trying not to compare my situation to others, but I’m curious on how much some of you lost around the same timeframe. Also…my appetite is definitely increasing. I stick to about 4.5 ounces per meal, but feel like sometimes I can eat more. How much are you eating per meal? Thanks.
  15. Thank you for the feedback. It’s all helpful to my peace of mind. You’ve done very well to maintain. My doc said months ago I should increase my cals to 1000. I can’t seem to bring myself to it 🥴
  16. Thank you. Sounds like you’re doing well too. Right now I’m getting in about 8-900 cals a day. About 3 months ago at one of my follow ups, my doc said to try to get to 1,000 a day. I have yet to do that partly because I’m anxious about the increase and because between eating and trying to reach my water goals, it’s a challenge once evening hits.
  17. Thank you, this is true. I’ve been experiencing a little anxiety about it wondering if I’m on the right track.
  18. Thanks for your feedback. I think 4-5 ounces might be too much at this point for me, but I’m not sure. Let me try to figure out how to fill in my profile. Keep up the momentum, being only 9 pounds from your goal is great.
  19. Just had a 6 week follow up with my surgeon. He advised to eat about 1,000 calories a day at this point as to not slow down weight loss. I’ve been averaging between 600-700. Since July 15 I’ve lost 30 pounds. Pre-2 week surgery diet I was 250. Surgery day weight was 241, now I’m 220 even. Seems slow. He told me that weight loss isn’t like a straight drop. And two weeks ago, I stalled for about 3 weeks. He advised to only weigh once a week. How is everyone else doing on calories and weight loss at about 6/7 weeks out? Just want to see how I’m doing. One thing I haven’t been doing is rigorous exercise…he said that would help too. Any advice is appreciated.
  20. Before surgery/preop etc, I was averaging about 1500-2000 a day…my metabolism was shot though. I’m hoping this surgery has corrected that metabolically. I totally get your point. I’m working on becoming more active! Thank you for your input!
  21. I am a month and two weeks out from my sleeve surgery. It’s much easier to drink water now. Is there a certain amount we should be sipping at a time or can we pretty much drink water in one period as much as we can handle? I want to make sure I’m not ingesting it too fast for my stomach or something like that. I don’t feel that much restriction with water so I don’t want to stretch my stomach.
  22. Thank you for your input! When you eat between 600 and 800 calories are you satisfied or do you have hunger?
