It's been forever since I've been on this forum. Life is always so busy but I really appreciated LilMissDivas message today about stalls. I've been the same weight for 3mos just trying to break into 1derland. Thought I would be there long ago and have been wondering if this weight is where I'm stuck and if I was doing everything wrong. Will work on changing things up!

Hi Pam.. how are you doing? I'm down 45lbs and thrilled about it but still wishing it was going faster. Tell me some good news!

Been a long time since I've been on here but coming up to my 90 day mark. Things are going fairly well, down 40lbs. Should be down more but am still a sugar addict.

Hi Sunny, Congrats on your new sleeve! Some people start with refried Beans and a little cheese. I didn't do so well on the mushy phase and dove right in to regular food but it's not for everybody. chicken is dense and you need to eat it very slow and chew it really well! Otherwise I would have nitrate free turkey sandwich meat and string cheese. Just eat new foods very slowly and your sleeve will tell you if you can tolerate them or not. Good luck to you!

Did any of you ever wonder...
readytolive replied to mythreechildren2001's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow! This was just the thread I needed to read! I have been feeling this way during a 3 week stall. It is so good to know this feeling of "this won't work for me" is common and that even the people who have already reached their goal felt this way at one point. Thanks everyone! -
3RD week of stall.. wondering how long my body can fight the weight loss. Would love to hear from others 1-3 months out and how you are doing..

First day back at body pump class in months! Didn't do anything more than 10lbs but my muscles are shaking!

How many times and for how long were ur stalls?
readytolive replied to Loooou's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well Mystee.. I totally understand! I have been doing the same thing but it's probably when we need to be in here reading the most. I have read many people have a dreaded 3 week stall. So... I'm looking for relief around the week of the 7th of this month. We will see! I did notice that you are in ONEderland so congrats for that! -
Still stalled around the same weight since 7/17 keep bouncing around thru 2lbs up and down. My body was stuck at this weight for a long time and I'm really learning why I never could stick to a "diet" before. I could never outlast the stalls and my body must be super weight loss resistant!

I'm almost a month out.. how much do you think I should be eating? Here's a common day: Breakfast - 1/2 - 2/3 Protein shake (would have 30gms protein and 160 cal if I finished it) 2 egg whites or 1 scrambled egg and slice of bacon Lunch: turkey and slice of string cheese Snack: popsicle or maybe a few pepperoni Dinner: an oz or 2 of chicken and a bite or two of something else the family is eating Snack - rest of Protein Shake from the morning and a 2nd popsicle -

3 weeks out--stalled for 2 HELP PLEASE
readytolive replied to ashleyc's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Ashley.. I'm right there with you. I had surgery 7/12 and started walking right away which helped me heal well. I lost 15lbs right away and then I've been fighting the same lb or 2 since 7/17! I am only eating about 500 calories a day and getting in protein and water. I do 30-60min of cardio a day and it makes no sense to me why the scale isn't moving. I'm trying to listen to the "your body is just in shock" advice but I still have that fear in the back of my mind that I'm the one super weight loss resistant person that won't lose weight no matter what. I'm going to kickboxing tomorrow morning and taking out my frustration on a punching bag. LOL! Hang in there! -
Crashed my husband's doctors support group last night. There were some lap bands, some gastric by pass patients and only 2 other sleevies. But it was fun to hear their stories. One girl was down from 300lbs to a size 4. Amazing!

Hi there.. I have the same problem with itching when I over do it on the whey based Protein. Sometimes your body just gets on overload of something and develops an allergic reaction. I look for veggie pea protein and that helps keep the itching away. Just a thought.. see if it works for you.

8 Weeks from Surgery (2 Months)
readytolive replied to Adri's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi Adri, I don't know the answer to your question but please do post what your nutritionist says! I am 3 weeks out and would be surprised if I'm eating 400-500 calories a day and the scale is not moving! I was wondering if I hit that "starvation mode" that people talk about where your body stops losing weight if you eat to little. I googled it and just found a bunch of articles and posts stating that wasn't true. I am really curious how much we should be eating. Especially since I'm walking 30-60 min a day and not losing. I guess I'm learning just how resistant my body has been to weight loss and why I could never keep motivated to stay on a diet before! -
I am a little over 2 weeks out and my incisions are closed and scabs have fallen off. The paperwork said I shouldn't swim for 6-8 weeks, do I really need to wait that long? I thought the concern was over infection of the incision points but someone else is telling me it is to not overstretch the stomach muscle and rip your stiches. Is that right? I've been walking since the day after surgery and doing some light cardio this week already. How soon can I swim?
