I was about sane HW 296. SW 257. CW 227. Surgery june 23rd. I started my maintenance diet at week 6 this week and seemed to have stalled this week. But not getting frustrated I have gotten a good amount off in short time and knew a stall would happen at some point. Keep it up!

I was sleeved on June 24th I've lost 74 lbs that I know of since the sleeve, I stall a lot too. My doc said that will happen since I was so heavy to begin with. I eat a lot of chicken and greek yogurt. I use the plain yogurt since it has 20 to 23 grams of Protein, I mix it with a Protein Powder and fresh fruit with a tbsp of honey. It's very good. I'll stall then lose very quickly within a couple of days.

How can i jump start my weight loss?? What are your meals? If you don't mind me asking.

I try to eat as much Protein as possible...eggs, Beans, cheese, chicken, and tuna. I try to stay away from processed carbs and stick with complex carbs and protien. I have noticed I get sick if I eat bread. I am able to eat greek yogurt but don't to well on ice cream or milk.I haven't had carbonated beverages since well before the surgery. I haven't really "worked out", but I will park across the parking lot, walk real fast in the store, take the stairs and I quit asking someone else to get me something...lol. I am going to start working out though, I joined the gym finally. I need to tighten up.

It never ceases to amaze me how VERY different surgeon and NUT advice is. If we are all having the same procedure than why is it that it is so confusing to hear how everyone does everything so different. I was told I could NEVER eat enough to get my daily needs met as far as Vitamins minerals and Protein. I find it very hard to believe that people can eat 90-120gms of protein with just food with a sleeve. I was told to do a min of 2 Protein Shakes a day (30gm) per shake so that I can try to eat the rest. I also hear some people don't count anything (regarding calories and carbs etc) and some just count every single bite. I get more confused on here hearing all the different practices, I have no idea which is right or wrong or maybe every single process will work, but how the heck do I decide what to do when there is so MUCH conflicting info out there. Feeling very overwhelmed and wondering how to figure out what the heck to do. I keep flip flopping and as a result am stalled. Just want to cry.

Listen to your team BUT also listen to your body. It's great that everyone can say what works for them but that might work for you. Vitamins Water protein then veg if you can. My NUT said I should introduce some Pasta now.... not in a million years! Don't agree with that at all so not about to do it ! Read the forums.. take a pinch of common sense and what your body is telling you and you will get there in the end. Best wishes!

I had my surgery on June 15 and weighed 230. I'm down to 183. I am 5'6" and have been eating Protien and and veges primarily but allow myself other foods occasionally. I really just stick to small amounts all day. I really think my success so far though has been getting the 50 to 69 grams of Protien. I bought Unjury chicken flavored Protien powder and it's amazing! It's like Lipton cup of Soup chicken broth and its 21 grams of Protien. Since I have arthritis in my knee the only exercise I do is 30 min a day of exercise bike or treading Water in the pool.

I think it's encouraging to see all these posts about the dramatic weight losses. Sometimes I get a little discouraged if I don't see the scale move but I know it's working, I went to see my future mother in law yesterday and she called me "slim". I had to laugh...she is so sweet. ????

sometimes I will go a week and no change, trust the process, don't get discouraged!
