Carbohydrates, and weight loss question

[sbg224 318]

I am 8 months post sleeve, down 90-91 lbs and love it. This is the first time, well the past month, that I have had such a slow down in weight loss since the very beginning. After the slow start, I went full speed ahead and finally lost a significant amount of weight. Now I am staying pretty steady at 178lbs-177lbs. I have been eating more carbs after my 6 months rolled around and I am trying my best to cut back on them, bread is a huge downfall, I know just stay away, but it is very hard, that's why I am looking for a new therapist. My question is do you think it is a stall or the carbs, or combination of both. I am averaging 70-75 gms carbs per day, sometimes a little more. Thanks for advice and or comments

I don't know. What does your NUT advise? How much Protein are you getting in? Are you getting in at least 64 oz + of Fluid? Are you exercising?

I agree. What is your total Protein consumption? Total calories? How is your Water intake? It may be the carbs, but it may just be a normal slow down. I know I lost best when I kept my Protein over 80g and my carbs under 50g.

Hi Stacy.

I get in anywhere between 80-110 gms Protein a day. I am drinking lots of fluids, I train with trainer 2 times a week, ride bike and walk in pool, about 3 times a week and go to physical therapy for right knee 3 times a week. MY sugar and fats are not over the top. I do not see doc and NUT until May 12th, so just wondering what some of the veterans thought, thanks

I think it may just be the normal slow down. My loss slowed at that point but I was still losing inches and things were redistributing. I'm positive you're not done!! Hope to see you on 5/12!

You don't mention total calories. You're doing significant exercise, it's possible your total calories are too low rather than the carbs too high.
