Here is my honest answer. I didn't pig out and through my three week (extended by a week to schedule proble with surgeon) I seriously regretted not having any food funerals and dreamed about what I should have ate!

Yes I went from 257 to 261. It is crazy frustrating when your in a stall.

I went in to see my PCP having been sleeved on 12/5. I told him I was disappointed with my weight loss compared to others. I know. I know. We should not compare ourselves but we all do. I weighed 280 when I was there in his office in November. The day I was in his office I weighed 252. Today I am down to 247.6 I am thrilled to be loosing but when I read about the people who lose 70-100 lbs in 3 months I just have to wonder what am I doing wrong.
My PCP shook his head and ask me to consider my journey in its entirety My biggest recorded weight in his office was 386lbs in 2006. I fought down to 270 by 2008 and then bounced around 260 to 300 until I received by sleeve in 2012. All you dieters know that in order to lose over 100 lbs and keep it off for years I had already made major changes tommy eatting patterns. My PCP explain to me that because the surgery was not a big shock to my body I did see the big change.
I most definitely eat less calories on a continued bases now but my NUT actual ask me to up my calories from the 900 I was doing to 1300-1500 pre surgery. Does anyone else think that is kind of comical. I have seen many stalls over the years even when doing the right things. My PCP say the body has set points where it will not want to let go of more. That is when I need to up calories a day or two the back off. Also I must up what I am forcing the body to urn during a stall. That is very hard for me I am no fan of exercise but I press on.
My PCP told me to realize had I not already had made so many changes before surgery I would have seen a bigger difference but I would have been at a much higher starting weight to begin with. So I guess it all evens out in the end. This made me feel better about the lost post surgery. My hope with surgey was it would take me down the next hundred as my body seemed unwilling to go down below 260 even after that 6 month supervised 900 calorie diet the NUT complained was to low. So I do feel an accomplishment to be at 247.6 it is my lowest adult weight. I certainly hope to keep moving down the scale.
My current limits 800 calories 50 carbs and 70 Protein. I try to walk uphill at 3mph for 30 mins 5 times a week. Yes it is a journey but I feel like I am running the hardest marathon ever!

You have a great attitude Kap. I'm glad that you are at peace with your progress now and hope you can enjoy the process as you get closer to the onederland.

Makes perfect sense. I'm in a similar situation. I don't expect drastic results after getting the sleeve either. I'm hoping for 10 pounds a month.

Ultimately you have to do what works for you. I personally don't care for Protein Shakes and never really relied on them as a source of Protein. If you want to mix it up try adding boiled eggs, I eat 2 (the egg whites only) and that is about 8g of protein and its like 50 calories total. I feel like my body responds better to natural foods. Just start sneaking them in there. Your protein amount is up there so maybe you can afford to allow more veggies a d even some fruits into your diet. Good luck.

Wow...I think your doing good! It took me forever and still struggle to get 70grams of Protein in. Yesterday I got 55 grams and couldn't eat anymore. I too lost the most weight during my 1st wk and stalled like 2-3 wks. The weightloss will come just be patient!!

I think this looks pretty good. I know what you mean about ruts, and about eating too much artificial food. I try to find a balance between keeping the nutrients we need, and keeping my calories down, and not eating too much artificial stuff. It's tough. I figure I do have time to figure out what works best for me in the long run as far as trying to eat more "real" food.
Your weight loss stats look pretty good! Great job.

If it is working, then why change it? However, our bodies do flourish with variety, especially with veggies and fruits. These are foods that provide our body with protective nutrients we need. Also, maybe venture out with some shrimp, scallops, Beans, eggs? Getting your Protein from food is ideal (vs. protein shakes/bars) once you can eat anything. I assume you are past the restrictive phase. I make my own "protein shake" with baby spinach, plain nonfat greek yogurt, 1/2 cup frozen cherries, 1/4 cup guava juice and sugar free Torani Syrup. Simply divine - a bit more carbs yes but full of many good things for the body and the protein!

Sipping a chocolate one as we speak, wish I could try the strawberry.
