mimismom. you are not alone. it will be a year for me in sept i have lost 53lbs. it bothers me because when i got the sleeve i felt it was just the tool i needed, now i wish i hadnt gotten it. i also eat good foods and yes i might slip on something but nothing like before the sleeve. i never get over 1700 cals some days lower some days higher. i get all my Protein, Water in, it seems after 6 months it just stopped no matter what i did. i started working out hoping that will kick it in gear and ended up gaining 8lbs and no it wasnt muscle weight at all. my clothes were tighter also. i just lost 5 lbs of it but my scale goes from 217 to 225 for the last 6 months, so i completely understand. lipstick youa re to funny girl. i like what your saying is at the bottom of your page. i need to find my motivation because right now i dont have any

jeeper, i pray we both look back in another year and laugh about this struggle

jeepers, girl i feel your pain. my problem at work is the Cookies, i work for a hotel and the airlines bring cookies almost every day, i bring all of my food and Snacks but i will eat at least two cookies and if im stressed i will eat more. thats where my sugar comes in. i also cant buy the 100 cal snacks i will eat them all if they are in my house. i was losing really good and when i hit the 6 month mark it stopped and slowed. i think its mental because my dr told me the average lose 60lbs in 6 months and at that time i only lost 53lbs. but look at my before and after pics. but she made me feel like a loser, and coming back on here seeing other who lost that and more in 6 months, sent me into depression and the i dont give a you know what attitude. I started working out. 6 days a week 45 mins a day kickboxing and i gained 8 lbs and lost no inches, clothes where tighter. i am at the point of not knowing what to do. i eat right for the most part. i eat around 1200 cals a day and if i mess up it will go up to 1700, it takes 3500cals to gain a lb. man i just dont know. but i have noticed the scale going back down this week. i lost 5 lbs of the 8 lbs i gained. i eat like every 2 hrs or less, if i am hungry like hunger pains i eat small meals. THIS SUCKS. i didnt get the surgery to worry about dieting, i got it so i can stop dieting.

mlkd i am so with you. my dr told me the norm is is 60lbs in the first 6 months i had only lost 53lbs she made me feel really low and like a failure every since then i have not lost weight. that was 6 months check up and than after that i stalled. i go from 217 to 225 back and forth. very depressing very depressing

momo are you a moderator?

lissa ive tried several and all did the samething, got tired of being a test rabbit lol

this sucks big time

thanks for the encouraging words my friends. jeeper you know the anti depressants cause weight gain? not on any at this time. i just dont get it. if i could i would get the rny but dang my tummy is so little

reading everyones post. i know i am not alone, yet i feel so alone. im depressed now i got this major surgery i was losing up until my 6th month. i have not loss since then. i got down to 217 yayyyyyy and now i am 225 what gives. I gained once i started working out and no im not losing inches my cloths are tighter. ive been to kaiser about 10 times about being dizzy body aches and so on. all of my blood work shows me healthy and well nourshised. so why am i dizzy sometimes, its not vertigo either. i am scared to workout now, fear of gaining more weight. i was doing good 6 days a week 45 min of kick boxing to doing nothing now. i am so frustrated with this stall. 5 months and no loss. im crying inside really bad. i see others with success and i ask what happened to me. i was doing every thing right those first 6 months and than it stopped and sent me into depression and when i get depressed i eat. i still have restriction but i can get in cals if i eat bad. this sucks.

just trying to get back on track major track man

fidddleman (my husband) miss ou boo. lol. i need this months ago. I do a very intense workout called turbo jam (well not any longer) i gained 5lbs and i think its because of he workout (meaning) it burns from 700-1000 cals an hr I do 45 mins well i only eat like 1200 and was burning all through out the day. well i ended up fainting and still have dizzy spells. so im not sure what to do at this point. i am not working out currently. I see my dr tomorrow to see whats going on. so far all of my levels are good except vit D IS LOW

jeeper thank you so much for that.

I stopped losing at 6 months out. its now over10 months and the same 2-5lbs bounce back and forth. I have done everything I was suppose to do. I follow the basics, i only drink Water,no soda no juice just water, sometimes with fruit in it. i dont drink before or after i eat. i excersise on the regular, actually i was doing it to much and ended up in the ER i am better now but wow what a ride. i am back to where i was before surgery, meaning i dont know what to do anymore. nothing is working low cal low carb low fat. high cals high low Protein i am so tired of this. I have decided to except the 55lbs i have lost since 9/12/12. I am thinking maybe a cleanse might work. I am upset but it is what it is. total since pre op is ablut 80lbs lost. i have 60 more to go and i am at the point of just giving up.

mgsmith thanks for the kind words
