Hi Dec Family

I have broken my stall also I love how almost all of us stalled and broke our stall around the same time. Keep pushing do not give up and remember do not compare your weight loss to others use it as inspiration to keep pushing!!

Yeah my second mini-stall or adjustment broke today. I hit 275 on the 19th, then gained 2 and held until today, and this morning i was 274 cant wait to see the 60s!

Surgery December 21

Down 20 lbs

[Shelley9 36]

I had 2 days where I upped my calories significantly to 1400 - the next day I was down a pound, the day after another pound was gone. Today I am back down to 500 - 600 calories. I am interested to see what the week holds for me.

How on earth did you get up that high without hitting up Mickey D's?

[jcsleeved2013 40]

Oh my gosh, I am seeing people hitting 1000, 1200, 1400 calories and I don't know how you do it. I am killing myself to try and get in 600, and getting in enough Water, oh man...I don't see how anyone can handle it. I get so full so fast that I am sick, I couldn't eat or drink anymore if my life depended on it! I am 6 weeks out and haven't lost a pound since week 4, so I am really trying to get my fluids and calories up if that is even the issue.

I'm 6 weeks as well, 32lbs lost in 3.5 weeks and haven't moved since. Maybe the increase calorie will work because today was a BAD day! I didn't count anything but I ate bad all day, even had fried bologna at Breakfast and some chocolate covered peanuts with a few sips of Dr Pepper at the movies tonight. No problems as far as physically handling it, I've discovered that I have the dreaded 'sleeve of steel' but the guilt got me. Oh well, tomorrows another day. Maybe the scale will move Monday!

Well today is a new day and we have all eaten bad at one time or another !

[kscdvm 78]

I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow. Down 30 lbs. I'm still struggling to get all my Water in. I'm supposed to wait 45 min after eating to drink but in reality it takes about 2 hours before I can drink.

I noticed that we all go through a stall sooner or later I also noticed that people with bigger BMI's seem to loose more weight faster then people with lower BMI's although I have seen some folks that break that rule its rare My thing is this I know its frustrating to have gone through all of this see how little we eat only to watch it either move slow or not at all but DON'T GIVE UP I know its hard and it feels like it wont happy BUT IF YOU EAT THE WAY YOU SHOULD! Low carb High Protein and get ALL your Water in you should be fine , We cant complain about its not moving if were not following the doctors orders I have broken the rules 3 times since surgery but realized I was only hurting myself by breaking the rules and that I would have done this all for nothing if I don't stay strong we are human and its okay to fall off track here and there but remember we really put ourselves through a lot to reach a goal so I figure why mess it up! Lets do right by ourselves and stick with it until goal is reached then once it is lets do ourselves a favor and learn to maintain it so we will never be here again! Good luck everyone I KNOW ITS HARD! #YesWeCan!

I'm going through the same thing. Really, the only way I am able to get to 800 calories a day is to rely on my Protein Shakes. They are the easiest thing for me to get down. I can only take a few bites of almost all other semi solid food. Without the shakes I don't think I could get anywhere near 800 calories-- I just can't eat enough of anything else for it to add up.

I'm also having a REALLY hard time with water ....always makes me slightly nauseous.....

[Sadlers1999 169]

Sleeved 12/17...still not 20 lbs down. As for what we eat, I agree that without at least one Isopure bottle a day (40 g of protein), I would never come close to getting teh Protein I need to eat. Solid forms of protein are really hard to eat...Soft veggies are easier, but they don't help with the protein goal.
