@@saphfyre14,

I know it’s really frustrating, but stalls are part of the process. If you’ve lost a total of 25 pounds in the barely over 2 months since surgery, and you haven’t lost any weight for a month, that means you lost 25 lbs. in the first month post-op. That’s a lot! Your body may just be adjusting.

If you truly are eating the diet that your surgeon or nutritionist suggested, and you’re hitting your Protein, calorie, and Fluid goals, you will lose weight when your body is ready.

I am not surprised that you are hungry frequently, since you are working off of such a substantial calorie deficit. You are probably burning 1000 to 2000 calories more per day than you are eating, so of course you are hungry. As others have suggested, you can have a snack if that fits into your meal plan, or drink Water to fight the hunger.

Good luck, and congratulations on getting into the healthy gym habit!

I did a little jog on the beach today but still a little to much weight on me to make it the full length. But at least I tried 35 lbs more and I would never even tried. Love my sleeve

@@saphfyre14 So glad to hear you are getting this figured out. There really is so much trial and error involved to figure out what works for you long term. Everybody and every BODY is different. The guidelines from the surgeons and nutritionists are a good starting point. But everyone has a different lifestyle, different challenges, different metabolism, different intolerances, etc. So it is critical to figure out how your body responds to different foods, different schedules, different activity levels, etc. Only you can figure that stuff out for yourself. The experiences of others is helpful too. So I am glad I was able to help you by sharing my own experiences. Keep up the hard work and keep using your tool to it's greatest potential!
