rhondatk 4 Posted March 9, 2015 I was sleeved on 2/10 so tomorrow makes a month, I have lost 31lbs which I am thrilled about however that was all in the first 2 weeks.... I have been in a major stall since. I am getting all my Water in, eating correctly (however nowhere near getting my Protein in, I haven't been able to get the shakes down since preop) my daily calories are around 450-500 and that's with 3 meals a day, some days including a snack. Any advice on how to get the scale moving again? Is this normal?? It's hard to not get discouraged after going through all this and the scale has just stopped on me! Thanks in advance!

Bonawanabfree 280 Posted March 9, 2015 You should look into the clear Isopure. I love the apple melon and the blue rasberry. 40 grams of Protein and you count it as your liquids. I am having surgery tomorrow and I am so ready to get this ball rolling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chunkyloverlovesyou 197 Posted March 9, 2015 Eat more, force the calories. You are teaching your body to slow down, your metabolism must be tanked. Lots of studies say eating that few calories is counter-productive. I was sleeve 2/16 and up to 800-1000 cal a day and I feel I my metabolism has slowed. Eat eat eat, and start reving up the green tea to get your metabolism boosted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhondatk 4 Posted March 9, 2015 That makes sense, I was worried it was from to little Protein or calories. I have 4 year old twin boys so I force myself to be active during the day, but your right I am just completely exhausted.... I've never had green tea, I'll definitely give it a try. I'm not sure how to increase my calories a ton other than adding the Protein Powder or doing two Snacks a day.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chunkyloverlovesyou 197 Posted March 9, 2015 I like Protein bars- the Atkins chocolate ones, they taste just like a candy bar. I work a lot, so I get a lot of kids meals and pick at them all day long, you can get pretty healthy ones too. I get the Panda Express kids meal with mixed veggies and teriyaki chicken- very tasty. I also eat a lot of eggs, my favorite is one scrambled egg with low fat sour cream, chives, diced Tomato and just a sprinkle of Palm cheese. That's perfect sleeve size and only abou 250 cal.
