I too have been stalling but work out 4 to 5 times a week for 1 to 2 hours found out today doc said I need 1200 to 1500 calories a day to loose weight I barely get 800. Hopefully trying to up intake will break stall.

Hello sleevers i wanted to ask everyone a question about how many calories are you consuming a day now and how many times a week are we excercing ??

i am on same boat i lost 73lbs before surgey am now 2months post op and at a loss of 24 and twenty was first to weeks i am so discouraged. I eat 600-800 calories a day get 80grams of protein,8-9 glasses of water and excercise 4-5xs a weeks a for at least an hour at a time. whats going on ?? how many calories are u getting?

When working out is it better to spend more time working out or to burn more calories Example I can walk. 60 minutes burn 300 calories or incline 45 minutes and burn 500.is it time or calories I should worry about???

Love this brutal honesty and truth. lmao

I get this almost every time I eat.

^^^^^^nice kmbrlycool we have same sleeve date I am down 23 lbs .its been a slow journey but never the less its going.

Omg my 4 week stall is over finally. Down 11 lbs this week. Thanks everyone for the words of encouragement.

I know some of you mitte have seen my previous post on forums just thought i would rant and rave a little. I am 6 weeks post op and am doing everything as instructed by my doctors. I lost 20lbs first 2 weeks of surgery the last 4 weeks i have been at a complete stall well not stall cause i have managed to gain 6 lbs back wth!!. I have heard about the dreaded 3 week stall but this has been going on for 4 weeks, i contacted the doctors office and they could not explain why i havent lost. i take to protein as i am suppose to , eat protein first keep in mind i am still only getting about 500 calories a day, I excerice daily .The doc said even a weeks worth of food doesnt add to a pound. I really was hoping to have lost 25-30 lbs by now amd i have a BMI of 54 so i have alot more to lose. i lost 73 lbs on my own pre surgery . Has anyone heard of this ? well i am hoping that next week gets better. I only weight weekly , fingers crossed i can get threw this. I am trying to up calories as instructed by doc to 800. I love hearing people success stories just it seems like i am waiting on my own.......

The funny thing is i lost 73lbs before surgery . I been adding the isopure unflavored to everything i drink not to bad but that trully helps me reach my protein intake. Going to try a different approach this week and see how it goes, only going to eat fish and chicken and cardio for at least 60 minutes every day so hopefully by this time next week i will be down a pound or so lol

. my doc said to get about 50 grams of protein a day . I am getting that fine a few days i do get about 60-80 depending on what i eat. wonder if i need more ?

SLEEVED 4/24 sometime i can eat 5-6 oz and others 3 bites .i have trouble with chicken breast the dark meat or rotissery is alot easier on me. Now the water is something i am trying to work on i would say i get about 50oz a day . Today i am trying hard to drink at least 64 oz i am almost their, sip sip sip

I weighed today and I am now on a 4 week stall even gained a 5 lbs idk why. I eat right , do what I need to. total loss since surgery is at 13lbs. Any suggestions? I am in total awe , it seems my sleeve is broke

ok so all you that are loosing at a good pace i have to ask what are you eating ? anyone on fitness pal ?, i just feel i am not getting enough food in their for i have been on a stall.

My hubby was scared to touch me for the first 2 weeks , so i took matters into my own hands sometimes you have to be the one in control. I am with the guys on this tell them what you want and show them. If not go to bed alone and mad.

any one sleeved around the 24th I was ,and I have to know should i be worried. The first 12 days post op 20 pounds feel off. After that nothing. I have heard of the 3 week stall but i am now past 4 weeks and have gain 2lbs back. Am i doing something wrong ? I was given the go on solid foods this week and of course thats ok, I am averaging 400 calories a day and 50 grams of protein. I wasnt able to walk in week 3 due to a abcess and being in alot of pain when standing, anyone have any ideas to kick start the weight loss back up ? I really thought by now i would be down at least 30lbs.

So tomorrow will be 4 weeks post op, and I am at a big time stall. Haven't lost any weight since around day 12. only weighting once a week but when i do its the same number. I know not to compare to others , however considering I am on the heavy side i thought i mite loose faster. In the first 12 days i lost 20lbs , now gained 2 back ?????? what the hec ??. I get plenty of protein daily and and doing great on mushies. any suggestions , I feel like i lost more when i was doing it on my own (fyi lost 73lbs pre op) Is this just a stall or should i be concerned ?

To jimmy yes I been going threw same things .saturday cookout for the fight being hispanic that ment it fajitas, chicken, tortillas,chips ,salsa all that good stuff and guess who was in kitchen cooking me that was hard but stood my ground.Sunday was worse we always have sunday dinner and it was kids turn and of course it was allll nono food, bacon cheese burgers, cheese fries and I had to cook it ,sit at table with kiddos having a protein shake. If their is a will their will be a way.

Yes I have too had same problem with breath. I carry a toothbrush, mints, gum go to doc on thursday was gonna ask , the kids say I am killing then,lol

i must say what doesnt kill you makes you stronger. First day post op i thought omg why would anyone do this, then by day 3 its starts to fade. I saw it as breaking up with food almost like a relationship at first its hard, sucks, then after a while you know its gonna be ok and as the scale starts to drop you know it was the right desicion.I believe most of it is mental , you will get threw and cant wait to hear what you think 6 months post op cause already at 2 weeks i am good.

Since were all april sleevers heres my question.how many pounds did u loose 2 weeks post op? I would really like to see if their are big differences. I lost 15lbs., anyone else............

Sleeved on 24th yes left side still hurts. ok wondering when anyone drinks do u hear a gurggling sound in your chest and throat?

Omg this is great to read I am not the only one going threw a emotional time, never thought of it as a break up with food .makes sense. Last night almost had a break down the hubby wanted some mexican food from our favorite place it was so hard. Went and jumped on scale it reminded me why I did this .Good luck all nice to know I am not alone.
