Almost a year

[cartmansnj 105]

I've lost over 150 lbs. I started out losing 3lbs/week. After a while it went down to one. I can eat a lot more than before. Over the holidays I have gone up and down. Kind of stalled. Thinking I need more Protein

Congrats on the weight loss thus far. VSG is only a tool of restriction after a year. So you need to see what works now for you and stick with it. You can try shaking things up. Have a protien shake for Breakfast. Track what you are eating as far as carbs, protien, Fiber & how much Water. Go back to basics.

If you are in range of all of above, start walking 30 minutes a day. Then shake it up and increase by pushing some weights. You are in this for the long haul and can continue to lose weight. Maybe not a 3 lbs a week, but even 1lb a week is 26pounds in 6 months, right? Think of it, by 4th of July you can be at under goal weight.

Know you can do this. Keep moving & keep motivated.

I love my sleeve & have no regrets.

I have been on a stall going on three weeks. I'm not sure what the heck I'm doing wrong but I'm working out like crazy and tracking everything I ear in MFP. I have up my calories one day out of the week and nothing. I just keep doing the same thing 70g Protein, 60g of carb or less, 8+ glasses of Water and exercise 6 days out of the week. I still need to lose 20lbs and the scale is not moving.????

However, I'm still very happy that I had the surgery. Everyone is asking me what the heck I'm doing to lose weight. This is my little secret that I didn't tell anyone except my hubby and my mother in law. My parents saw me after 6 months of my surgery and they couldn't believe the weight loss. It makes me happy that they no longer talk to me about my weight.
