Let's Check In November 2012 Sleevers!

[Kivtuar 59]

Hi fellow Nov sleeves!!!

My surgery date was 11/21, I'm down 62 lbs. Great except now the scale hasn't moved in almost 3 weeks! I get 65-80 g of Protein daily and about 64 oz of Water. Calories typically 800-850. Anybody else experience a stall yet? I'm so frustrated!

I get mini stalls ... I will stay the same weight for a day or two and then lose a pound. As you can see from the ticker we're extremely close weight loss wise and we were sleeved on the same day too, and I just saw we have almost the same starting weight even! So, seems like even though you're having long stalls and I had short stalls, we're still losing pretty close to the same amount.. Only real different is that I have more to lose than you do. I can say don't sweat the stalls, but we all sweat the stalls. We're both still losing pretty good either way.

Yes! I have been experiencing the same stall. My calories and yours are typically the same, I don't get as much Water. I changed up my workout routine to include some interval training, and the stall broke! It broke big time, I lost 5 lbs this week. I think the interval training is really working. You might want to give that a try.

Good Luck! Let me know how it goes.

I hit a two week stall and just started on dandelion tea this morning. It's a diuretic, a natural diuretic, and so far today I've she'd three pounds of Water weight...I'll you know if it stays off! I finally hit 176 today from my surety weight of 265.4 on 11-27!

[crickee 85]

I am down 76 lbs from my high last April, yay!, 56 lbs since surgery November 12! I am finally under 190 for the first time in my life and 3 lbs from weighing less than my hubby for the first time in our history! I am a size 12 pants, size M tops, I don't ever remember wearing either of these sizes. LOL, I have also dropped 1 1/2 shoe sizes, I was a 9 1/2 - 10, now 8 - 8 1/2, I never thought about my feet losing weight! I am sad about my feet, because I am a sandalholic! I'm trying not to purchase too much yet because I have 40-50 lbs to go, depending on how I look and feel. I will post pics soon! This has been the best thing I have done for me! I do go through stalls, but usually I just change everything up by either eating a little more or doing a few more Protein Shakes. I do still use shakes to up my Protein. My nut says I should have 80-100 grams of protein per day, I can get to 60, but above that is tough to do.

Finally got below 170 today...Highest weight was 225.5 in October. Sleeved 11/12/12. Just finished interval training. Running at 3.8 and walking at 3.0 which is great for me. In a week I have to be able to run 1 mile, 1 min. walk, and then 1 mile again. Want to try it outside as it is starting to warm up here in Michigan.

[carstanger 346]

Both my husband and I weighed on the new scale yesterday ! He said it was impossible for me to weigh the same as him!! Ha!! I was less this morning!! We've been married 43 years and it's been a really long time since that happened!!

Awww, thank you!!!! No secret really, I am still drinking a Protein Shake for Breakfast and one for lunch then Protein for dinner like chicken, turkey or eggs. I spend at least 2.5-4.5 hours in the gym 4-5 days a week. I usually do an hour and some change on the treadmill, a yoga class, a zumba class, a 30 minute strength training class, or Water aerobics. I lost a majority of it the month after my surgery..I am now averaging 3 #'s a week loss now. It has def slowed down but would love to be at goal weight by August 1st. Thanks again for the compliment!!!

[aquitenonnymouse 206]

My weight loss has certainly slowed. It took me about 40 days to loose the last 10 lbs, which was frustrating. It's still coming off, though! I'm wondering about doing a few liquid days to jump my metabolism again or to take in more calories for a few days. Has anyone tried either of these?

[TXdjvsg 93]

Hello all you November sleevers! Has anyone really slowed down at this point? I have so much more to lose and at the rate I'm losing at now it will take a VERY long time to get there. I'm stressing because I hear that most weight is lost within the first year after surgery. I'm only losing 1-2 lbs per week (sometimes less) and still need to lose 60 more. Are any of you in this situation? Should I try to go back liquids for a bit or increase calories for a bit? I hear suggestions for both, just don't know which works.

[Melissa Carter 24]

1-2 lbs per week sounds good! Most ppl wish they could hit that number. How far in are you? I am 5 months in and hit the half way mark of my goal this morning. That gives me another 7-13 months to do it
