Weight loss frustrations

[__chasinglife 5]

It is so interesting to hear everyone's journey. I was sleeved on October 25th and have been feeling the same way. I have lost 32 pounds since surgery but also feel like I am starting my second stall and it has upset me. I work out a lot and feel for all the work I am putting in, I should be doing so much better. We will get through this! My husband keeps reminding me that this is a journey and not a race. And we certainly didn't gain our weight overnight so we won't lose that quickly either.

I am hoping I can practice what I am preaching right now because it is hard!!!

Hi everyone. I had my RNY on 10/24 and immediately I lost 40 lbs. I went from 259 to 215 lbs in a few weeks. Which was great but then I developed a stricture that cause me to not be able to even hold down Water. I was down to 205. After 1 week hospital stay I gained 13 lbs and have only lost 4 lbs since. I'm stuck at 214 and have. It lost any weight in the last 2 weeks. I thought it kicked back on Tuesday cause the scales said 210 but by the following day I was back to 214. I'm so frustrated. I'm still dealing with a stricture issue but don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Keep your expectations realistic. You're doing great.

At almost 3 months, you should be at around 700-800 calories. Are you tracking calories, carbs and Protein? I think because of your kidneys, keep your protien at 60 like your doctor wants, and keep total carbs under 50.

Also, don't be afraid of fat. I have never tracked fat content. I eat full fat cheese, butter, dressings, oils etc. A little fat is good for us and helps keep us satisfied.

Are you trying to move more than before? You don't have to be a gym rat, but make sure you're trying to get some walking in or something that gets your heart pumping for a few minutes.

Try that to see if you can speed things up a little and good luck! You're still doing fine weight wise. I have a chart I post. I'll see if I can find it so you can see how well you're doing.

I would like to see that chart can u send it to me directly
