I'm ready to throw in the towel!! Sleeved 1/21 I am a low bmi started at 205 and I am 193 now, five weeks LATER!!! I really wish I knew what the heck I am doing wrong?? My protein is in, water is in, I exercise... SO FRUSTRATED!!! I'm doing the best I know how.....

Take a laxative or enema now!! I was impacted and had to go to the hospital and I would not wish that pain on my worse enemy! Get your plumbing moving!!

I believe it's Map My Walk app. I have Map My Run. It's really cool.

It was a Philly Gourmet Turkey Burger. 20 grams of protein.

Thanks girls! I just can't even think about going through all of this and the doctor didn't take enough of my stomach.... The burger was a small one not big like hang over the bun big! HA!

Frozen burger.. I tried to look in MFP but it doesn't give ounces.

Believe me this does not make any sense to me and I hate it!!!

I haven't been back to my doctors to discuss all of this with him... Ate that at 5pm, been drinking water ever since, now it's 9:20 and I'm starving...

I need to steal your chant!!! Same here stall 1 week out from surgery and been in it for 4 weeks now! CRAZY!!!!!

I am 5 weeks out and in the same situation as you. Very Little Restriction. Tonight for dinner I ate a turkey burger with a slice of cheese and no roll. I was able to eat the whole thing without any pain, discomfort... I'm not too sure what to think....

I stalled for 3 weeks and just the last 2 days I upped my calorie to 800+ and just dropped today! Try to eat more

Everyone who posted in January... How long was your stall?? Please let me know there is light at the end of my tunnel!! So frustrated!!

How do you know when your body is in starvation mode?? I was sleeved 1/21/13 Lost 11 pounds since then... I'm around 700 calories a day so it doesn't make sense that I am not losing. I exercise daily... Any ideas??

I'm looking back at my weight/scale log and I was the same weight on 1/29. Kinda frustrated that I have gone through all of this and I'm NOT losing! I need a little bit of positive I have been more than patient! ARG!!

So I need an opinion. A close friend of mine is a gastric surgeon, I went to her when my journey began. Long story short she did not take my insurance and referred me to another surgeon. After surgery she has been a great reference anytime of day with any question she has been there to help. So I expressed to her that I have not had any problems, healing well, getting all Protein in, Water in, but expressed to her that I haven't had any restriction with food. She said oh you wait until you have something more substantial like chicken! So I am 4 weeks out this Monday, and I was around my friend today. During our time together I whipped out an apple and sat there eating it. I have never had any problems with anything that I have eaten, never foamed, never vomited, only felt full and stopped eating. So I got done my apple and she said to me, "there isn't anyway you should have been able to eat the whole apple 4 weeks out!" So after our long talk she believes my doctor did not use a small enough "bougie" I asked if I should say something to my doctor? She suggested yes but what good would that do now?? He cant fix anything now! So now what? I went through all of this to find out my pouch is bigger than normal?? I'm down 11 pounds since 1/21/13

Ok I knew I would get questioned about the apple skin.. I'm having plumbing problems, in the hospital last week and I need "fiber foods". Last week I quartered the apple and ate the innards but this time I did not have a knife, I was starving, in public, and just ate it... But chewed well... No problems whatsoever. I know bad choice but better than any other alternative I had available. I'm just sad because I have home through all this and found out its not normal.

You really can't taste it?? I'm going to have to try it!!

COSCO. They are yummy!!

January 21st here too!! Only lost 10 pounds since surgery and have been on a stall for 2 weeks!! Frustrating but determined to get it going so I started running!! Sorry to say I can pretty much eat what I want and have not ha any complications. I am trying to up my calories Protein and Water to fool my body into loosing again!! Breakfast Primere chocolate Protein shake lunch vegetable chili dinner inside of a pizza steak (not much) Snacks turkey pepperoni chips and Greek yogurt. Water, water, water!! I have to break this stall!!

The dreaded 3 week stall??? 1/21/13 DOS and I lost 10 pounds the 1st week and now nothing for 2 weeks... I knew to expect it but how long did your 3 week stall last?

So did you increase your calories then drop back down when you started losing again?? I'm so frustrated!
