I have been exercising as well but one thing that I have become really strict with is journaling. Journaling helps to show you everything you are eatting and I also have put my scale away. I am struggling with the numbers on scale if I don't see the results I want. So try to journal, drink lots of Water, and exercise and see how you feel in a week. Let me know if this works or helps you!

I had VSG on 8/21/2013, I've lost 2 LBS. I think I am drinking to much daily. Typical day: 2 cups of Tomato Soup with skim milk added and unflavored Protein. Make Protein Shake, with skim milk , 2 scopes of Protein Powder, 2 tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt about 12-16 ozs. I have 2 sugar free Jello puddings. Water and diet v8 splash

Things to try.

1. Take a rest days from exercise (this one is hard for me to do). I do a mixture of cardio/weight training. The inflammation in my body adds to the scale' date=' but as soon as I take a break it goes down a couple of pounds. Of course, this is only if you are looking at the number on the scale going down. I have learned to ignore the number on the scale when I know I have been diligent with eating right and working out.

2. Up your carbs! Try a day of a higher carbs. Key word is a day. If eating carbs triggers a carb binge, then this is probably not a good idea. Every once in awhile I will eat very high carb for a day and then go back down the next day. This usually moves the scale.

3. Go longer and harder on your cardio or try splitting it up. Do 45 minutes in the morning and 45 minutes late afternoon.

Good luck![/quote']

Muscle does not weigh more than fat. A pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat. Muscle takes up less space and is more dense. You are burning fat and building muscle. I'm guessing if you are tracking your measurements you will notice bigger number results. Also your clothing will tell the tale.

Quit weighing yourself daily and try to break the mindset that a plateau or stall is a bad thing. Our bodies have a lot to adjust to with this surgery and subsequent deficiencies and weight loss.

As long as you are making good decisions fueling your body then your results will make themselves known.

In the mean time remember, you've traumatized your body with this surgery. Try not to second guess how it adapts to this trauma. Make good balanced choices and do a challenging yet safe exercise regiment and quit fighting nature.

When were you sleeved? What is your daily eating and excersing routine?

Those are definitely some good tips! It can be so discouraging weighing yourself all the time which is why I put my scale away. It is very hard not to weigh in the mornings but I quick get dressed for gym so I won't weigh myself and move along with my morning routine!
