nck12nicholspd 9 Posted April 11, 2013 I'm about three and a half months out, and I have stopped losing weight...I only lost about 25 pounds on the sleeve so far. I am about to go CRAZY! Here's what's up: I'm exercising like I should be....I feel good about that. I also have more energy! I do admit I'm having trouble getting the Protein in. Everytime I drink a shake, I feel pukey. I do drink a lot of Water though. I've been having a period nonstop since just after my surgery. That's three months. I'm so frustrated. I have zits on my face! I look like a freakin teenager. Is there anyone out there who can relate to this? I have a follow-up tomorrow with my nutritionist, and I can't wait to hear what she says. I'm almost at the point of regretting my surgery. I hear all these amazing success stories, but where's mine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xring3 39 Posted April 11, 2013 I fell your pain. Losing hair, do not feel any better, eat just a small amount and get sick. Can't reverse so must live with. Great way to spend my retirement. Needed to lose 100lbs. Lost 30 on my own. Only 20 post surgery. 3 months out. Miss food. Programs want you to buy their high cost food that tastes like s?:! Would not do again. Would go it on my own.

My NUT wanted me off shakes once I was cleared for all foods. 1 MrsG reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jlbee 2 Posted April 11, 2013 I was told not to do shakes at all. I am learning that everyone has a different plan that their NUT gave them. I like you have started breaking out like a teenager too! In fact I look worse than my 13 year old son. I was told (don't know how true this is because a friend told me not a doc) that fat holds lots of toxins and chemicals and as you loose weight these toxins are released causing the acne. I'm curious what your NUT says. I also have not lost any weight in over a month( I was sleeved 6 months ago). I think I may have reached my weightloss limit. Although I would take the 50 pound weightloss over the ten that I just seemed to take off and put right back on before having the surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LMFAO575 112 Posted April 11, 2013 Plain & simple, no more shakes. Get real meat in, eggs & cheese, yogurts too! Nuts are good as well. 1 MrsG reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrsG 329 Posted April 11, 2013 I agree with Veronica and Jerseygirl, my dr doesn't want us getting Protein from shakes once we get thru the first few weeks. Better to get your Protein from real food. Yogurt has a ton of protein! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrsmsp 3 Posted April 11, 2013 I'm in the same boat. I'm 2 months post and I've poly lost 28 lbs. I have been good with Protein but not so good with Water & 30 min walking. But that can't be the reason for such slow weight loss...can it? There are times I actually need to remind myself that I did the surgery. Someone please tell me the weight will go. I've been on the same weight since 3 weeks...grrrr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
