I need to start back with the exercising as well. I think that will really help. My schedule is so busy lately at work I am working overtime and am exhausted by the time I get home. Hope you ladies keep up the good work and stay in touch!!
-
Same here I had to up mine to 800-1000 because I want getting in enought and I was stalling majorly. I have only lost 21, but am so happy that is gone!!
-
Keep up the good work everyone!! Calorie wise how much are you all eating?
-
How is everyone doing?
-
How many calories are you all giving yourselves? Sleeved march 16th here. Down 20 lbs. band to sleeve BMi at sleeve 30. I am doing about 800-1000 daily. Been eating all day lately to keep metabolism going. How much protein you all getting?? I average about 40 daily.
-
So glad to hear I am not the only one averaging 1000 about. I have drank a few drinks lately alcohol beverages and it had messed me up. No more of that!!
-
Compared to you two I am really over doing it. I am losing though. Only 20 lbs, but I did start at 163 and am now 143. I need to really cut back but was told 1000 was good from my doc. Below that I was struggling up lose any. Once I increased my calories I started losing.
-
How much are you eating at a time and how many calories? I can do 1/2 a cup and an hour or so later a lil more I am getting in around 1000 daily. I eat fast was a band to sleeve. Also I hav been drinking some at meal time. I need to stop that. Just curious as to how you all are doing.
-
I log everything as well no matter what! Curious though as to how many calories you all give your selves? I do 1000 if I exercise I eat a lil more. Going to stop doing that. I was sleeved march 16. Revision from band to sleeve. Does it seem like I eat a whole lot since I am still fairly new out? My doc says I'm at a good amount and no worries 1/2c maybe a bit more. Please just let me know anyone if this is good calorie and etc wise. Thanks!!!!

Same happened to me. Finally at week 6 I started losing after I was able to increase my calories. Try 800-1000 daily. Use fitness pal if you can online
-
Would you consider Mexico for breast augmentation and what is the average price there??!!
-
Increase your calories. I was at a stall for over three weeks. I am 6 weeks out now. Increased calories and am losing now ... You are in starvation mode.

Perfect Ty!! Is it crazy that I am eating so well at 6 weeks? Meaning like 1000 a day
-
So I am 6 weeks as of Friday and started my fitness pal yesterday. Requires me to have 1200 daily to lose 2 lbs weekly. I am only getting maybe 1000 in daily, but is this a lot of calories at 6 weeks?! I have been at a stall for weeks now so I hope it helps. Mind sharing how many you get daily and how many you are eating.?!
-
I get to feeling the same way haha. Feel like I am chowing down but I'm really not. We can do this. Keep in touch I know exectly what you mean about not gaining anymore. I got down to 129 with band then back up to 163 so I know what you mean.
-
Oh sorry and yes revision from band...
-
My docs goal and mine is 115 to 120. I am still between 147 and 149 every day. I go on the 26th and I am going to ask that they help me out here. I do know I don't get much fluids in so maybe it's that. I also have not had a menstrual since before my surgery. My body is all sorts out of wack. How long has your stall been?. I am only 5'1". You are so lucky to have the height on your side
-
I am 5 weeks I have been at a stall since week 3. Keep fluctuating between 147.5 and 149. I was a revision to sleeve I have lost 14 but still I feel a lb a week should be right. I too wonder is this it??!! How much are you eating at a time? I would say I'm a little over 1/2 c. I don't eat too slow either. I do what my body tells md to. I am discouraged. My doc tOld me I would lose in no time yet I am already stuck. I also have had no period since my sleeve
-
Well I am still for the 3rd week in a row fluctuating between 147.5 and 149. I am so discouraged. Why take out my band to just not finish losing what I need to. My doc said it would take me no Time And I am getting so mad honestly. Ugh I could scream. I had one egg with chicken meat in it or breakfast with a slice of laughing cow cheese lunch was a chicken thigh small with some green beans and mashed potatoes maybe ate 1/2 c to 3/4. Snack two Vienna sausages and 1/2 a fiber bar dinner chicken enchiladas and cottage cheese equaling 1/2c or lil more. 1/4 c peanuts for snack. 1c milk with protein shake and that's it.... What am I doing wrong??!!!
