stalls?

[JoannLz 62]

Ok I'm 2 mth out and for week 5-8 I've stalled. And then I was dehydrated so I had some iv Fluid put in. Ok I've lost all that extra Water the next week. Now I relize Im not loosing like I did in the first two mths. I would loose 1-3 lbs per day now its like 1-2 PER WEEK IF IM LUCKY. Does that mean in going to be a slow looser?? but I am happy of what I have lost 49 lbs. And u can realllllly see it. So I guess ill be happy with what I've got. Cause with out the sleeve I onow I would not have been able to be this far.

You look great! I would say about 2 lbs per week is pretty average after the first month or so--just make sure you get in at least 60-80 g of Protein, limit carbs other than from veggies and fruits, and drink at least 80-100 oz of Water a day, plus get in as much exercise as you can. If that seems slow, just think of how quickly 8 pounds/month can add up--32 pounds in 4 months, 96 lbs in a year--etc. Plus it's a lifelong change rather than a finish line, so that helps when I think about it too.

I have finally decided to only weigh at my monthly nutritionist appointment. It is too frustrating ot me to keep stepping on the scale and eeing minor, or no results. Would rather have a nice surprise each month! (now let's see if I can really do it!)

You lose the most the first month or so. I lose about 2-2.5 pounds a week now. I'll take it. It's nothing to sneeze at.

Thanks. My first stall at 3 weeks was heart breaking. But I learned. And I grew up. Lol I cannt complain. I am making healthy choices with food and everything in general.

That's normal for the point you are at! Everyone hits a stall. You usually have to make sure u are hydrated and exercise. Make sure u are eating enough also. 800-1000 cals and eat every few hrs. You look AMAZING keep up the great work;)

Thanks. After I got my iv fluids in I feel completely normal. With the exception of when I eat. I've learned when to take my last bite or else !! Lol I guess we have all gone through a lot.

I think most of us have alot to work through. I was sleeved 4/29 and have lost 38. I would be thrilled with 45 if I were you!!! It is hard to believe with keeping our calories so low, it would still come off so slowly. All I know is my life has changed for the better since being sleeved in sooo many ways. Im not obsessed with food anymore, AMEN!

Your body can only shed weight so fast. I think losing fast in the begining will cause things to go a little slower after that. I lost a lot the first month, pretty good the second month, then 8 pounds the third. I was really disappointed too. Having an unrealistic expectation contributes to anxiety and frustration.Then I realized the secret is in doing this long term. Just keep doing things right and it will come off. No way to know how fast it will go, but since we absorb every calorie we eat, about 2 pounds a week is great!

I barely eat I don't like to keep a journal cause I tried once and I went crazy thinking about it. My doc said not to do it anymore to just concentrate on eatong protien first.
