Well, I have found myself obsessing over everything! Carbs, calories and Protein. Everyday it seems I am so wrapped up with...am I getting enough of this, am I getting to much of that? Trying to write down, figure and keep track of everything. All I have to say is E.X.H.A.U.S.T.I.N.G!!!! I know 7 months out what I should eat and what I should stay away from. I am 7 months out and have decided starting tomorrow no obsessing over any of it anymore!!! I have been at a 2 month stall, and I am now wondering if my weight is hanging out the same because of additional stress trying to keep track. For the next few weeks, I am just going to eat right, not go run and write down e everything I put in my mouth. I'm just going to go with the flow. Geez

Thanks Amazon13. Very true. I have 83 more lbs to go. I keep telling myself if I can just get to where I can really tell I have lost, it would be more motivating. But weight loss has been super slow. No matter how hard I seem to try and how much I walk the scale will not budge. So so so frustrating.

I am 7 months out and was thinking about trying it just to see how it would work. But I hate to try it and gain weight

I was just wondering about weight watchers. Would sleeve patients lose weight if counted points? I know that we are suppose to watch carbs and all of that, but also Portion Control. Bananas are high in carbs, but free points on weight watchers. I was curious to see if anyone does weight watchers points and still lose weight?

I am 7 months out and I honestly think my body has it against me to let me get under the weight of 258! I think I have been right around the same weight for about the last 2 months. So frustrated!!!

So a cup of lettuce isn't very much, and then when I put my shredded cheese on it and cherry tomatoes, and turkey. That would end up being more than a cup.

Amen sister. It just makes me sick!!!

I still have about 85 more to go. I just get so confused. I don't know if i should be watching calories and carbs? Protein and sugars? I don't know what to do.

Breakfast=coffee with a scoop of Protein powder in it. I usually have two cups so there is two scoops. snack, string cheese and a clementine, lunch usually a salad with ceaser dressing, cherry tomatoes, shredded cheese and turkey lunchmeat. Snack been having little Debbie star crunch (yikes), supper whatever I make for the family. Tonight we had chili dogs but I didn't have the bread, just hot dog, cheese and chili. Snack, cranberry trail mix. Some days I have two little Debbie star crunches. Ugh. Sometimes sugar is my weakness. I have been walking 3.5 miles a few times a week.

Wow. Thanks! I just looked at my muscle milk Protein Powder and there is 9g carbs in each scoop and I have 2 scoops every morning. Maybe I should skip that!!! That is 18g first thing in the morning. Yikes
-
Thanks everyone!!!! How many carbs is low carb???? I will try that starting tomorrow. Is that all I need to keep track of is just carbs????

So I just hit 7 months post op. I have been staying around to same weight for the last 2 months. Has anyone else hit a stall this long? It is very hard for me to stay motivated and I just want to cry. I read about all of these people around 7 months losing all of this weight and I can't get any further. Do I need to be focusing on Protein? Do I need to change something? Do I need to switch and focus on calories or carbs???? I need help!!! SW-325, current weight 258.

I have a dt mountain dew everyday. It does not bother my sleeve. My Dr told me it was fine to drink as far as the carbonation not damaging your sleeve. He said some peoples stomach can tolerate it and some can't. He just said there wasn't anything nutritional about it. I am 7 months post op today, but started drinking soda at about 2 months post op.

Does anyone know how many calories and carbs you are suppose to have at almost 7 months out? I have been around the same weight for the last two months. Frustrating!!!!!!!!!

Last night before I went to bed, I told myself today was going to be a new day and I was going to start out by getting back on track. Woke up this morning and ate a pecan roll. REALLY??? I had my surgery on September 12 and I have been pretty much the same weight the last three months because I keep eating crap I shouldn't. Ugh. I'm down about 64 lbs. Starting weight was 325.
-
I'm in the same boat. Does the weight loss pick back up? Is this just a stall?
-
I was just seeing how much everyone is eating 6 months out. 1/2 cup? 1 cup? I think I am over eating and need to break out the measuring cups.
-
For the last few weeks, I can't stop eating anything and everything. I want this more than anything in the whole world, but where has my willpower went? HELP!!!
-
So depressing.
-
My surgery was the 12th. SW 325, CW 264, 5'5". Down 61 lbs.
-
They just prescribed me 50,000 units to take once a week. Hopefully that is why it is going slow.

I'm so disappointed. I'm a little over 8 months out and down 71 lbs. Is anyone else a slow loser? I'm about ready to throw in the towel :-(
