puchy123 56 Posted March 9, 2014 I reeaaallyyyy miss that strong restriction too. anyhoo, when I was about 5 out, I noticed I suddenly could eat more and my appetite was much stronger (boy, now I wish it was how it was at 5 months post op! Ha) but I stopped losing for a month. I didn't gain but I didn't lose. As hard as it was, and gosh was it hard, I went back to Protein shakes for 2 weeks. Nothing but shakes. I don't know if I could do that now at over a year out, but at 5 months out the surgery was still new enough for me that I was able to hang in there and do it. From there I went on to achieve well below my goal weight. It was really a turning point for me. Maybe that's where you are. Give the shakes a shot! Good luck! Did you only do shake and nothing else. No other source of food and for how long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jenny12 361 Posted March 12, 2014 Only shakes for two weeks. Then I reintroduced lean Protein slowly after the two weeks were over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your body is working hard to adjust itself to thr new tummy. Just forget the scale snd just take your measurements. Concentrate on getting your Water and Proteins in for each day.

puchy123 56 Posted March 15, 2014 Only shakes for two weeks. Then I reintroduced lean Protein slowly after the two weeks were over. Thank you, I'm gonna try it to see if I can brake the plateau. We're you hungry at all, that's what I'm afraid of. I have a very hard workout regimen And not sure if Protein Shakes alone are going to sustained me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blinken 1 Posted April 23, 2014 I am on a 4 month stall! and can not figure out how to break it! I have increased Protein, increased Water I walk3-5 miles 5 x's week ride bike3 x's 10 a 20 miles wii fit daily 45 minutes run 100 flights of steps 4 x's a week and lift weights 3 x's a week nut said to add 200 calories I did and lost 2 pounds, the next week gained 3 pounds! so now, Im eating no food, only drinking broth and Water this is ridiculous, I cant figure out how to get losing again, also, When I was eating I was taking in 60 grams Protein minimum, no sugar foods, 2 ounces veggies a day, I guess Im going to try this broth and water for a week and see if something gives, adding calories didnt work! this is the weight I always get down to and cant get past, they said this wouldnt happen with the sleeve, I have been very strict on this journey and am totally frustrated yes, im happy ive lostn60 lbs, but have not lost since dec 18, btw, I only weigh once a month , so im not scale obsessed, lol sooooo frustrated!

hopeful2 be slim 121 Posted April 24, 2014 I think you should eat more calories as your work out is quite strenuous. with such less food body may go into starvation mode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
