Sheenan 0 Posted June 14, 2012 So...I had my gastric sleeve done July 26 2011 and I am feeling so down. The day I went in for surgery I weighed 250 I now weigh 189 so I have lost a total of 61lbs not what I expected and the last 2 months I have been 189 and I am not able to lose weight. I am still obese and I feel like I am always going to be overweight. I would like to know if anyone has has these stalls that last a few months? I know that my weight loss is suppose to slow down around this time, but is there anyway to get it going again? I really want this and I am tired of being overweight! I only have 50-60lbs to go and to me that is nothing because I had more than 100lbs before my surgery I feel so close yet so far away. AHHH someone help me!!!

Foxbins 625 Posted June 14, 2012 Are you journaling your food? Do you know how many calories you are eating each day versus how many you are burning? Post your food intake and we can help you, but if you have been stalled for a few months you are eating too much or sitting too much, Sorry to be blunt but that's the truth. The good news is that you can continue to lose if you get back on track with the proper food and exercise. Don't give up! 1 PdxMan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sheenan 0 Posted June 14, 2012 I actually eat the same thing almost every day and the same amount Breakfast 1 egg 1 bacon lunch 1/2 cup lettuce 2 chicken slices 2 tbs spoon ranch 3 olives 1 onion slice dinner Usually the same as lunch I walk on the treadmill 3-4x's a weeks 30min-1hr. I'm not sure of calories or the carbs, Protein. I have been eating this since about 6 months ago and have lost weight between 4 an 6lbs a month. I can't afford alot and I have celiac diesease and its something I haven't got sick of yet. Maybe I will have to find out the calories and all that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxbins 625 Posted June 14, 2012 Yes--please weigh or measure each item and get the calories, carbs, and Protein. Are you taking your Vitamins and supplements and drinking enough Water? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkinnyOnMe 81 Posted June 15, 2012 Sucks. Get your thyroid checked. I started about the same as you at 244, I'm 2months out and 31 pounds down. How have you been losing since the beggining? Has it always been slow? There may be something going on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nursing38 23 Posted June 15, 2012 maybe you need to go back to protien shakes for a few weeks to a month and try and break the stall. I see some need a reset. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MyGastricSleeveLife 180 Posted June 15, 2012 One thing is that our bodies get used to routines & we sometimes need to trick it. Try eating your meals differently. Even if you eat the same thing, if you eat Breakfast for dinner or something like that, it can trick your body. Also, if you eat 100 calories or so more one day & then drop back down the next day & keep alternating calories, you'll keep your body guessing. I also agree with tracking your calories so you know that you're getting the right amounts of Protein & limiting your carbs & getting enough Fluid. I use MyFitnessPal & so do many people here. If you make your food journal available for friends to see, you can get advice and ideas from others & from looking at other people's journals too. I would also suggest adding in some weight training to your exercise routine. Cardio is important, but weights are too for overall health & weight loss & muscle strength & definition. You could also try going "back to basics" with Protein drinks for a few days if you're not drinking them anymore or just to trick your body some by having more of them for a few days and less actual food.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
