FINALLY!

After a 3 long month stall, the scale finally moved! I've lost 2lbs since Sunday. For the last 4 days I have been really watching what I eat and started working out more. I've done Zumba the last 2 days and decided to do some sort of exercise everyday. I've upped my Protein and cut out simple carbs. I try to keep my calories about 900-1200 a day. It hasn't been easy. Most of you will probably tell my that many calories is too much. But my sleeve is irregular shaped. It is a little larger on top. I had a band to sleeve revision and had some scar tissue and my doctor had make adjustments to my sleeve. That's why i feel so hungry if i have under 1200 calories. But, so far it hasn't been too bad. Not sure if i will be able to keep it up but I'm going to give it my best!

I would think as long as you stick to high Protein dense foods you should be able to keep the calories in check. Congratulations on the scale moving again and on your new found love for Zumba.

Thanks! It was a very long 3 months. I had my revision Jan 13 2014 and up until now I've only lost 7-10lbs. I was getting very frustrated lately because the scale hasn't moved and I was reading how it seemed like every other person out there was dropping weight like crazy and it seemed liked they weren't doing anything to lose the weight. Since I can eat more that 600-800 calories at a time I will have to work harder at losing the weight. I am determined to get results and lose this weight!

That would be frustrating but even at 1200 calories, it may be slower but weight loss is a mathematical certainty. Plus if it comes off slower your body will recover better and you'll have a better chance of keeping it off long term. Forget about how fast everyone else is losing and remember how excited you are going to be a year from now... it's not a race. .. but you're winning!

Congratulations!! Way to keep up the good fight despite that nasty scale not cooperating! I'm in a massive stall myself, so I appreciate the encouragement your words bring! Best wishes!! You will succeed!
