DebbieDeb 0 Posted January 8, 2013 Hey guys, I'm having such a hard time getting over this hump. I started at 282 and was sleeved on 9/12/2011 a day that changed my life forever. Until now. I was stuck at 212 for the longest time, now with a back injury I'm at 220. I can only do Water aerobics and nothing strenuous. I'm happy with the weight loss, but I have 40 lbs to get to my personal goal. I have done everything except fast to get over this hump. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowgirlJane 14,260 Posted January 8, 2013 Low carb - eat Protein first and followed by veggies... skip the juice, bread, rice etc etc. Drink plenty of Water.< /p> Go back to all the sleeve basics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hollirrose 249 Posted January 8, 2013 I dont work out so I keep my calories at around 600/carbs under 40/water over 64 oz/prot over 60. Im 8 months out and this plan works for me. Im down 165 lbs (a few of those pre op) with only about 15 to get to a normal bmi. No real stalls. I know some have higher calories/carbs ...and that may have worked but because this was the eating plan for most of the fast losing vets, I have followed it. I weigh and log every bite of food on my fitness pal. If you arent signed up.. I would! Hope this helps! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kittenkate 186 Posted January 8, 2013 Agreed. Decrease your calories, increase whatever activity you can, and log everything . I use MyFitnessPal too and I love it, it has really helped me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Livinglifeout 217 Posted January 8, 2013 600-700 a day in calories, plus low as possible carbs definitely works:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
