The crying part I get all these hormones flooding my body to start with was beyond crazy!
I was laughing at something and it turned to crying actual sobbing for no reason I just switched to deeply sad sobbing 10mins later fine!
Its crazy the ups and downs that you go through at first and I am still in that stage just less extremes of the downs and tears.
Again I personally don’t track weight they told me not to anyway but its never been my thing, besides home scales don’t go up high enough for my weight to do that anyway!
On the 30th of the month I take measurements and pictures for my own update.
The last time I was weighed was like the 17th of june at the doctors and I have no clue to date what my weight is.
I am not working out yet I have a knee problem and back problem can’t take anything for it yet so I was told to just walk around my house as much as I can and lift weights, I have 2.5kg hand weights I do everyday for my arms.
It doesn’t say where your located but if your in the uk you should have had them call you about your free gym membership by now, I got my call today that I am ok to start working out and can book my assessment at the gym any time.
I am really very new to this and having a lot of issues with trying to eat and even drink right now so I am no help on the food intake sorry.
I think it’s the best thing ever said to be by my nurse which is do not compare yourself to anyone else during this because you are a individual and what works them may not work for you.
It is hard with the emotions and the expectations from ourselves and the people around us who know it sometimes feels like everything is smothering us and you want to scream!
It is a big deal so its ok to have high or charged emotions about it.
Hope you work it out hun and feel better soon!

I was sleeved 3/12 and am down from 248 to 195, the key is getting in your protein! I've noticed my weight loss slowing down a bit, I don't tend to exercise as much as I should but I'm in a very fast passed work setting & on my feet 12hrs a day. I use my fitness pal & log all my food, weight, measurements as well. Are you losing inches???? My doc assures me there will be inches at times instead of pounds. I strongly suggest tracking everything you ingest, and keep the protein up & carbs down!

Amber, are you keeping a log with absolutely everything you are (and are not) doing...make yourself aware of you slip ups? Because chances are you are getting in more calories than you think you are. No offense. Just that chances are that is it, and if so, you have the answers to your own problem.
I helped a young lady recently that found about 400 calories a day she wasn't counting - and that was in creamer and iced tea and mismeasuring portions. It can be eye opening to keep a journal.
Please consider it if you are not...try myfitnespal.
Good luck.

Lots of super great people here willing to help you! You've come to the right place! Don't give up!!!

Weight loss is definately slower when you are smaller, but I get that you are frustrated with these results.
So, do you work with a nutritionalist? I think that is super helpful.
People have already suggested that you journal EVERYTHING. I do think that is a wise thing to try. I find that sadly, I can't eat much to keep losing. Even a few hundred extra calories here or there stops losses. If I undereat I feel horrid and too low energy, so it is a balancing act.
I have had good steady losses, but this last month things kinda stalled. I refocused on Protein and Water, and sure enough, 5 pounds dropped. I would be happy to share more specifics/feedback if you share more details on your food and exercise. That is not to say that everybody is the same, but i have definately found some things that work better then others and can maybe spot something in your routine.
So, I don't mean to sound discouraging, but you are right in the zone when your fastest losses should be happening so you are smart to try to figure this out right now. My personal experience was that I had almost no hunger months 2-6 . Starting just after my 6 month surgery anniversary, I started noticing hunger again. I am still losing, but it is definately getting a bit more challenging a bit slower.
