I got it figured out and it was recording correctly...my activity level had slowed down and it was still recording I just wasn't active enough for it to increase my calories. Once I stepped it up it started recording calories burned again.

I have met with 2 trainers recently and both are telling me I need to increase my calories if I am going to work with them. My Dr has me at 1000 and they want me to go up to 1200-1500. Who do I listen to? What did your trainers have you do?

Has anyone had trouble this last week with the Fitbit and MFP syncing? If so do you have a fix for it?

I am at 8 months and have not been able to lose for about the last 3 months. I am happy that I have not gained but want to continue losing. I even bought a new scale thinking or hoping mine was broke . I am still very good at keeping track of everything I eat but still no luck. Not giving up and hope you don't either!

I have seen on this thread that many people sleeved around the same time as me have hit a stall. Have any of you started losing again and if so what did you do to get it going again? I have increased my exercise, Water, and calories but still nothing!! I am not gaining either just no change at all...any suggestions please

I totally agree!! They are the best.

Hello Everyone ,

I was sleeved on August 21, 2012 . My start weight was 243 and I'm now done to 188. I am so disappointed with myself as I have not lost weight in 2 months. I'm so frustrated and don't know if this is normal to go this long with out losing. Any one out there in the same situation ??

I was sleeved the day before you started at 223 noe 170 and haven't lost for 2 months also need to go back to no carbs but that will be so hard again just need to motivate myself

I am right there with you. I was sleeved on Aug 28 and have also not lost for about 2 months. I even did a 3 week exercise bootcamp that totally kicked my butt and nothing was lost. At my 5 month follow-up I was told to keep doing what I am and not to worry...easy for them to say but they did explain to me that the average is to lose up to 70% of our weight within 2 years and that in 5 months I am at 52% so I was told I am ahead of the game. Any suggestions to break this stall would be very helpful...I plan on getting to the 100% mark of weight lose.

Hi and yes I have had that somewhat...the more my diet increased like new foods being added the easier it is too get off track. I really have to stick to a schedule and also plan my meals for the whole day the night before so that I am not tempted. 60 # is great so don't lose sight of the big rewards. Right now I am losing very slowly and it is very discouraging but I just joined a bootcamp at the gym for the next 4 weeks so hopefully that help to get the weight coming off again

I just bought the Natures Made new Mini's and they are working great...they are the only ones I have been able to stand and they are smaller. Target and costco both have them.

Wow so awesome! You must be feeling so great!!!

Does anyone have an opinion on Detour Protein bars...lower sugar? I have seen them at costco but have not tried them yet.

Not sure this helps but when I look at my daily summary it list my carbs on there.

I was sleeved thru Kaiser Southern CA. My PCP sent a referral to Bariactric Dept and then the process was started. Had an orientation then started 12 weeks of classes. Had to attend a support group and the NUT appt and physc appt.

Aug 27th...and just started pureed stage today. 2 Protein Shakes a day...yogurt...and creamed Soups Tomato has tasted the best. Tried refried Beans today and did ok. Haven't exercised yet...no pain just super tired. Have a hard time getting all liquids in each day but also do Protein.< /p>

Tomato Soup has been my favorite thing to have...has just enough spice. Started pureed foods today so I got to have some refried Beans

Good luck on your journey

I have had both and have had almost no pain with the sleeve. 1st couple of days in the hospital I did use the morphine pump but I think the pain was more from trying to get in and out of bed than the actual surgery. Once home i didn't need it anymore.

HI EmmyEm...

There is a group on this forum called SoCal VSG Support Group and one of the members came and spoke at my options class with Kaiser...she was a real motivatation! Her name on her is Sleeve 4 Me...contact her and I am sure she can give you all the details. I do know they meet this Sat at 10:00am in the food court at Victoria Gardens

Best of luck and wish you a speedy recovery!!

Curious when you decided to weigh for the first time after surgery? Today has been 1 week and I am afraid to get on the scale...don't want any disappointment. Thinking about waiting until follow-up with surgeon but that's not for 2 more weeks.....

Just checking in to see how everyone is feeling...hope you are all having a speedy recovery!! For me each day has been better and today I actually got dressed and went for a ride with my husband for awhile...it was nice to get off the couch Nothing really taste good but I think that maybe a good thing. I was sleeved on Aug 27th.

I loved the Jello Cheesecake flavor before surgery haven't tried it since.

Good luck!! I had surgery on Monday and was scared as well but the only pain I have had is just the stiffness in my belly...much better than I thought it would be
