Are you tracking what you eat? If not, maybe start tracking so that you can see the numbers and see where you might need to make some adjustments. What about carbohydrates, are your keeping them on the low side? Usually when the scale isn't moving, the inches are coming off. You could just be a slow loser. Hang in there. The scale will start moving again soon!

I've gone from a size 20-22 to a size 12 in jeans, and from a 2X to a size L in shirts. The scale has not moved in about three weeks. I am so discouraged right now.

[loobylou238 43]

Was sleeved September 18 and have lost 49 pounds in total.

Have been in the States for the last 4 weeks visiting my sister and have still managed to lose 3 pounds. Have not been eating a great deal however I've had way too many glasses of wine! Bought loads of clothes because I look and feel so much better.

Get back to Scotland on Monday and I'll get back into my routine. Am still struggling with my Protein intake however I would not change my sleeve op for anything!

Good luck to all September sleepers. My first goal is to get under 300 pounds.

Hey everyone,

I was sleeved on September 25th, 2013 SW 284 today I'm at 222= 62 lbs lost. I'm at a major stall I haven't lost anything in over a week. I know I have not been getting enough Protein either! Today I'm trying to get in 60 Grams It's so hard! I know when I eat Protein I get out of my stalls though.

Today I'm doing, Yogurt 2 oz at a time 6 grams of protein per (12) chicken Sausage protein(11) chicken 2 oz at a time hoping to have the full amount by the end of the day for 31 grams of protein and FF Ricotta for a snack later should bring me to 60. If I can truly eat this much!

How are you guys getting in your protein?

Truly, I've been getting an average of 40 grams. Somedays even 20 to 30. It really is hard. But one thing that always bumps it up is a premier Protein shake. Though I hate Protein shakes now. :-(

Greek yogurt also, the fage plain has 18grams of protein and very low carbs. And I always add some fruits and/or sugar free fruity Syrup to give it some taste. And I eat babybels as Snacks (light babybels give u 6gr of protein)

[dkandsm 48]

I fail a lot at getting in my Protein. I do not drink Protein shakes, as they make me nauseous and I don't like them, so getting 60+ grams of protein a day in can be a struggle. My diet mainly consists of eggs, cottage cheese, Peanut Butter, shredded cheese or a slice of cheese, light laughing cow cheese, and meat of some sort (pork, beef, chicken, turkey neck, lobster, and shrimp). I know turkey necks sound disgusting, but they are high in protein so I eat them occasionally. lol.

Skim milk is a good way to add protein, as well. I found "Hood chocolate Milk" at Kroger, which is low in calories and fat, and low carb. It tastes okay. Beef Jerky is also a good way to get in more protein. Just watch the carbs in it, because sometimes it has sugar in it.

I swapped my first cup of coffee for a Protein drink - not a shake. I keep EAS Carb Advantage ( ready to drink) in my car . They stay nice and chilled in the car during the winter . I drink one every day on my way to work . And it gives me 17 grams of Protein for only 100 calories. I find the brand more palatable because it not too thick or too artificial tasting. It has the consistently of whole milk. After that comes coffee and Breakfast about 1 hr later.

Getting to 60-70 gr of protein is still a challenge, most days are about 55 or so. I am close to 5 months out and consistently lose an average of 2 lbs a week. hair loss has not been an issue to date ( knock on wood!) , so I guess I'm doing ok for me. Calorie counts are between 600 and 900 daily.
