Hello , i had sleeve gastrectomy in September 2010. Iave loss 35 lbs and i know lots of inches . Not sure how many but i wear about 3 to 4 sizes smaller in my jeans. YAY!!!! Although for 3 weeks i have been stuck...the scales are not moving and it is getting me down. I don't want to get depressed about this. I'm drinking my Protein and getting my Fluid in but......im ready to see scales move again.Any suggestions on my diet .... I do walk at least 5 days a week on eliptical for 30 minutes. Please just someone tell me what to do to start losing again.

Hey Sassy, we were only sleeved a few days apart. That's cool!

I also went through a very terrible stall for the last 3 weeks. I've finally broken through it thank goodness!!

I started logging my food religiously again, I changed my eating plan to a more well balanced with 2 hi Protein Snacks, I started logging my workouts religiously - AND - pushing my limits in them too... those things I'd say the main contributing factors in me breaking my stall.

I'm down 5 Lbs in 5 days. Nothing to sneeze at!!!

Hi Sassy;

I was just about to post here too - since I was sleeved on the same day. Congratulations on our 4 month sleeve anniversary today! Chin up, you have accomplished so much loosing 3 or 4 pants sizes. Pat yourself on the back for such great work and keep it up.

Need more info on food intake & movement to provide direction: Why are you drinking your protien when you should be eating to get calories? What other excercise besides elipitcal? Are you pushing any weights even in small amounts at least 3 days a week? How many carbs are you eating? How many calories are you consuming a day? Are you taking your suppliments? Blood work normal? Do you feel hungry still or it that gone?

Change things up and keep moving forward. Good news - you are a loser. Keep in touch, my sleeve sister.
