Helppppppppp
I'm going back to basics tomorrow, I've lost myself somewhere. Have been very stressed panning a big 50th party for my husband in March and have stopped doing me.... I log every day on MFP and stay under my targeted cars but I know my food prep has fallen back to old ways although my portions are very small, I think that has an effect on my stall also. So any way I'm going to do just shakes for a few day to remember why I had this wonderful surgery and "tool" and recalculate my efforts.

Valentine's Challenge
Shells72 Hang in there... myfitnesspal says I'm always under caloric needs and in starvation mode. Not sure how your surgeon determined it but do whatever he/she says to make it o.k for your body. I love the challenge for the support and accountabitity even when I don't reach my goals.

What ya eating tonight?
Some days my sleeve Loves me more than I love it. When I try to hang out with my old habits and the fun I use to have with a food party.....my SLEEVE COP puts the brakes on. I'm almost 6 months out and feel like this hasn't worked for me as well as I wished. Lately I haven't been able to work out and have been suffering with a painful pinched nerve in my leg. I do log daily with myfitnesspal and average 900 cals daily. I've been stressed planning a 50th birthday party for my hubby and I think I'm in a slump. Sometimes I forget I had the surgery since I didn't have any problems. Its so cold here in New York and I'm feeling the Winter blues. I'll start to exercise and won't finish on cloudy days. Think I'm a little weight loss depressed. Hoping this will pass soon.

OVER A MONTH POST OP AND NO CHANGE!
Stalls do happen at three weeks..... just look at all the people on here who struggled with this after being told it shouldn't happen. I think its very presumptuous to be told this. Everyone is diff and responds slightly diff to the same surgery. Being told its not suppose to be is another disappointment in a already hard journey. Yes it can happen. And did for me and I cried and felt like a failure AGAIN. I thru pain had to give my body the love and time it needed to heal and adjust. Thank God I did and you will do well also.

Diet/foods
I refreeze using freezer paper then wrapped in foil, air is the culprit in any freezer. My fav breakfast is Greek yogurt shake made with almond milk unsweetened wit a scoop of unflavored Injury protein and some sort of fresh fruit. All blended together. You get great flavour and nice amount of protein and little fat.
