Thanks everyone I appreciate the words of advice and sharing of your own experiences!
Today it was what did you lose this week another 10 pounds this week??
They know I only weigh myself every Saturday
My response was simple " no just 1 pound actually I'm losing weight slowly which is the right way! Perhaps your noticing more due to the fact I just bought all new clothes that fit better!
They just said maybe and that was that!
Im just going to take it one comment at a time and try to not let it bother me so much!
Thanks again
I am so upset at people I work with always saying your going to waste away to nothing soon, or we won't be able to find you your wasting away to nothing? You look tired? I've had more energy than I've had in years! Tired I think not??
I weigh 171! Down from 256 What are they going to say when I weigh 145/150.
Just hard to have people tell you your too skinny already when your not even finished yet
and no it's not being said in a positive manner at all
i have not hidden my surgery and now I'm wondering if I should have!
Just very frustrating that's all
anyone else experience this!!??
The only time I stalled was at about 4 months! It was for 2 weeks I increased my exercise and went down to 800 calories a day and only had protein shakes and Greek yogurt and in 10 days dropped 4 pounds! Now I'm 6 months out and the weight has absolutely slowed down last week I lost .7 this week I lost 1.2 but I'll take what ever loss I can get
I only have 21 more until I reach my goal I set for myself which is 150
pre surgery i was 256
surgery on 08-20-14 233
current weight 171
stay at positive it will start again! Sometimes our bodies need to regulate before it can start up again!
Kelly you have been such an inspiration to me!
Congratulations on your success!!
How is your exercise in this phase I've recently have had to up mine as I've been stuck for two weeks now so I'm wondering what kind of exercise regimen I'll need to do once I'm at goal!!
Thanks and keep in touch!!

I put unjury chocolate splendor in my decaf coffee every morning it's a mocha delight! Lol
just have to make sure coffee is under 140 degrees or it will clump
Thanks I get in well over 120 ounces of water a day
I did measure myself 2 weeks ago so that If I'm still at 184 in 2 more weeks maybe I'll see some movement in inches
i know this is normal just hard when I'm so close to the finish line! Lol
Ok I had surgery 08-20 I was 233.5 day of surgery down from 256.5
today I'm weighing in at 184 and I've been stuck here for 2 weeks!
Upped my exercise to 2 x daily now running not walking
and lowered my calories back to 800 as per my nut they've been at 1000 per day sine thanksgiving
I don't know what else to do any tips for getting the scale to start moving again??
getting over 90 grams of protein a day as well and taking all vitamins
thanks
Thank you everyone! Glad to know I'm not alone
I will take the great advice!
Ok I'm 4 months in and boom my hair is falling out like crazy I had surgery August 20th and am down 72 pounds I get all my protein in even more usually 90 grams a day
what can I do to slow this down!! It's awful please help!!
I had lapband for 3 years sure I lost some weight but got stuck all the time and was never feeling right
lapband slipped 3 years after getting it and had it removed
gained all my weight back fast forward to August 20th 2014 I got my sleeve and love it!!!! No issues no regrets
no more getting stuck and I'm halfway to goal already!!!
take it from someone who's had both the sleeve Iscthe way to go unless you want to lose your band in a few years and weight loss is slower and your always in pain and get food stuck!!! Not worth it
I have my 10 week follow up Thursday this week
I'll be checking with her then.
Pick had my BP checked at work and it was 97 over 64 I think I don't remember but they said that was ok
thanks for responding!!
Hey everyone
I get all my protein in daily usually over 90 grams and also take all vitamins and drink enough water daily usually 70 ounces
yet at times I get dizzy? I eat no more than 750 calories a day
but I get lightheaded sometimes anyone else experience this?
Im 10 weeks out this Wednesday.
Great news I'm in wonderland!!! So exciting after 10 weeks to be in wonderland all of this walking is paying off!!
I walk everyday 3 to 5 miles!!
I brought protein bars with me on my recent trip
great snack and helped get my protein in!!
I had yogurt, tuna fish, haddock broiled with tomato sauce and minced really small it was actually very good! Also had Refried beans with sour cream and a little cheese!
Just eat slow and small bites it will all be fine!
Im 9 weeks out and have not gotten sick once because I'm very careful to pay attention when I eat! Slow and steady!!
good luck!!

Thank you all so much you're all right! Just take it one day a a time!!
One pound at a time! I had a total of 105.5 to lose to be at a healthy BMI so I'm a borderline lightweight!! Lol
58 pounds to go!!
So it's been six weeks and I'm down 23 pounds since surgery
for some reason I just don't feel that's as high as I've seen others on here?
Im never eating over my calories and I'm getting in all fluids walking everyday! So what's going on?
My surgeon is happy with my progress but I really thought I would have lost a little more by now.
I was originally 255.5 and on surgery day was 231.5 today I weighed in at 208.5 am I considered a lightweight??
Also I'm cleared for all food except nuts. 500-700 calories a day I avearage 600-700 now.
Thank you everyone I appreciate all of you advice
I measured my 90% lean groun hamburger AFTER measuring the plate Lol !! had 2 1/2 ounces added 1/2 ounce cheese and some ff sour cream and I was full!! No need for more
I plan on being more careful when measuring as it makes a big difference
thanks again everyone!!!
I'm back to veggies and fruit and limited carbs as of Thursday
I can't wait to meet with my NUT she will help me
but I'm thinking when I can add veggies and fruit it will help cut back on protein size
Thank you!!
I'm meeting with my nutritionist Thursday I'll discuss with her too.
I'm usually really careful when I measure and didn't realize until after that I forgot to minus the weight of the paper plate
I usually just eat 3 ounces and am satisfied I was just surprised and a little worried that I ate to much
I do not want to hurt my new sleeve I've worked to hard for that!
I cook everything so it's really moist nothing dry at all
it definitely helps
I measured incorrectly my digital one is broken and I forgot to weigh the plate first so I'm averaging it was 4 1/2
my plan does allows me to eat 3 to 4 ounces so I was not that far off
and I've only had liquids all day besides the steak I was just surprised that's all
it just goes to show you, you have to be careful and measure everything twice! To be sure!
I asked for advice on why it could fit as I'm new and still learning I'm not looking for criticism please it's not like I ate a bag of cookies
Ok I'm almost 6 weeks post op
on meat stage right now and as of this Thursday I'll be back on everything
i have added something new to my plan every day and have never had an issue never getting sick or throwing up
I feel like I can fit more than I should so I measure everything to be safe
tonight I ate 4 1/2 ounces of steak tips without an issue
I'm full like nice full not over full but I can't believe I could eat it all!
I keep seeing posts about only being able to eat 2 to 3 ounces why can I eat more?
My plan states I can eat 3 to 4 ounces right now and I have no problems doing so
I have had the following so far
steak.
Eggs
chicken
fish
Chili
turkey
ham
thoughts??
I love my unjury unflavored protein powder
i put it in my decaf coffee every morning to get that first 21 grams in!
You cannot taste it at all!
Just be sure anything hot you put it in is not hotter than 140 degrees
as it will curdle
I use a thermometer to test and add ice as need to cool it off a bit
