Tracy4 21 Posted August 2, 2017 I'm 9 weeks out and down 57 pounds. But getting bored with food and not sure if I am even eating the right things. I use the Atkins app to count calories and carbs and I max my calories at 500. I'm hungry but can't stand more than two-three bites of food 1 kad_82 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kad_82 42 Posted August 2, 2017 How are you guys doing out there?I was sleeved on May 2nd, down 34 since surgery 54 since starting the process in April. I was stalling a bit but the wl is picking up again. Having the same trouble, I'm hungry but then can only have about 4 ounces of Protein and I'm at capacity. I'm am starting to get a lot of comments on my wl at work which is nice but hard at the same time. Sometimes people don't realize how they sound. One woman like yelled across the parking lot that I was shrinking but it didn't feel like a compliment. I have alot to lose and get scared it will just stop. I know you just have to do you and tune out the noise. 1 AmandaWho reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tracy4 21 Posted August 2, 2017 I haven't even told anyone at my work that I had the surgery. I have had comments from people like, oh you've lost weight, your such a pretty girl and if you lost more 🙄 As you can tell I work with mostly men! I am trying to exercise but just not a lot of energy... just keep trucking! 2 AmandaWho and kad_82 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karcares 34 Posted August 2, 2017 I'm 9 weeks out and have only lost 18 pounds. I'm frustrated and getting bored with eating Protein and the same things all the time. I don't mind getting full fast because I know that's the only thing helping me right now. I'm just crawling along. Disappointed it's not coming off faster. How many calories are you eating at 9 weeks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tracy4 21 Posted August 2, 2017 I am eating between 300-500 calories. I can't fit anymore. I still have a Protein Shake or scrambled eggs for Breakfast. I'll eat Soup, salad with grilled chicken or a Protein Bar for lunch and just a small dinner of mostly meat and veggies. I can't fit a lot of food. I find it much better to track with the Atkins app, it's free to use and download. I also do a lot of sugar free fudgesicles, hello and puddings. I started walking a few weeks ago, not far and about 20 minutes a few times a week, and I swim. I'm going to sound so bad, but I have small 2 pound weights that I use to do arm exercises while I'm watching tv at night.. like I mentioned I don't have a lot for energy but I just figured it's something! 1 Supernovae reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How many calories are you eating at 9 weeks?I am not counting calories, my nut said to focus on protein and Water and if there's room veggies and a tiny bit of fruit. Sometimes you can be consuming not enough calories that can slow things down too. Talk to your nut, there is no perfect formula I'm learning I was on vacation last week expecting to gain when I returned and lost ? Makes no sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How many calories are you eating at 9 weeks?Are you on Pinterest? Search chicken meatballs. I make them every week and make a huge batch so I can portion them out for the week. They have every flavor-chicken parm is my favorite. I swap out breadcrumb for a little almond or coconut flour and you can't even tell the difference. I've tried bbq, orange chicken, general tso chicken, pesto, and even chick-fil-a! One meatball fills me up and I don't have to worry about cooking when I'm exhausted.

Tracy4 21 Posted August 3, 2017 Those sound good! I will research those today! My problem, I hate reheated meat so everything I make is either eaten when I make it or something I can have cold. I just went to the grocery store and bought a rotisserie chicken and that will last me several meals and can be eaten cold and on salad.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How many calories are you eating at 9 weeks?I was sleeved 5/22 and I eat about 900 calories a day. I'm a slow loser as well. 37 since preop and 22 since surgery. I feel good and at least the scale is moving in the right direction. Stay focused. Maybe we won't have loose skin to deal with since we're slow losers.

sjandj715 162 Posted August 4, 2017 I was sleeved may 2nd. I am down 62 lbs. im doing great but I haven't lost in 3 weeks now and have actually gone up a pound or two 😩 I'm working out every day. I have noticed some hunger has krept back in. Maybe just head hunger... I feel great and all though. My biggest fear is gaining the weight back. Even after weight loss surgery lol 1 kad_82 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
