Okay May sleeves, it is now 7 weeks and I'm still only 15 pounds. I eat maybe 800 - 1,000 calories a day. Have to start my day with a Protein Shake or don't feel right. Fiber One Cereal seems to be my savior right now when nothing else wants to go down. As I mentioned before I'm on meds for bad back, Fibrommagylia and nerve damage from accident. Also have severe sleep apnea and am 56. I am totally PISSED I have not lost for 2 weeks. I just don't understand. How are all you doing?

Okay May sleeves' date=' it is now 7 weeks and I'm still only 15 pounds. I eat maybe 800 - 1,000 calories a day. Have to start my day with a Protein Shake or don't feel right.

My Dr. Told me that cereal are starches and I can only dad it once in a month until I made 6month... So keep an eye on what type of food u are eating daily... Ask ur nutritionist for a meal or diet programm... That will help u... Don't feel back about the weight this is what I'm going thru...

**********************************************************

I kind need help on this...

**My surgery was May 15, 2012 (240 lbs)**

2 weeks later was my 1st Dr. Check-up... Well at that time I was (211 lbs)... Since then everything was better n better right?!? Well, when I made my month I join back to the gym... Here is where everything starts... June 15, 2012 (207 lbs)...

I start doing (Zumba on M-W) and I have my personal trainer M-F 1 hour, plus I walk 1hour in the afternoon, I eat healthy n in small portions, also I throw up almost everything I eat everyday... Don't ask me why cuz idk... I don't eat to get full, n most of my snack is a grapefruit n the only Protein I can tolerated is tuna... Water 24/7... My next Dr. Check-up is on the 25th... And the sad part is I'm still (207 lbs)...

What I'm doing wrong?!? I just think that this surgery waesnt for me... I just read n see how 98% of everybody that had the surgery are doing so well at there 2 month n I'm just stuck.

well, I had mine on 5-22 and I hit a stall on week 3 until yesterday. What's that - a 4 week stall? I lost 30 lbs and then hung out there. Today I lost 4 lbs. Who knows why, maybe my body REALLY liked it at the 30 lbs loss. But after I had shrunk down (really, I went down an entire SIZE, and lost no lbs) I am starting to lose again. So maybe it's that my body didn't want a ton of loose skin??

All I know is that I kept to the foods, tried to eat less than 50 carbs a day, and get in 80 grs of Protein and even if the scale doesn't show it - LOTs of my friends are noticing. And my closet is a more open place to try clothes on now. So stay the course. Even if the scales doesn't show - your body will. And sooner or later you WILL lose that weight!

Can anyone gimme an example of what and how much u eat in a day? I've fallen off the wagon and started eating high calorie junk again, just in small amounts (though I feel so full im nauseous most of the time after). I went of a mini vacation this weekend and we stopped at a lot of restaurants and fast food joints, I gained 2 lbs in the past week! Somehow I feel just admitting this to others on here will drive me to do better.

I was sleeved on 5/30 and lost 27 pounds total. I have been in a stall for just over 3 weeks and I am starting to get very nervous. I don't know what to do to break this stall. I've tried all protien and no carbs, light carbs and Proteins and today I am going to try heavy carbs. I just want to scream!

I just joined this today, so this is my first post.....is there anyone else out there that feels like they are a slow loser? Im wondering if I'm eating too much. I was sleeved 5/16 so just about 2 months our and lost 32 lbs (9 on the week preop liquid, 13 the 1st mo, and 10 over the past month). I know I prob shouldnt compare or complain bcuz I am losing, but it does seem like others have lost much faster this early out.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
